Oh well, there it is............I do thank you for helping make my point though.....

We live in a time of very complex issues concerning the boundaries of firearms ownership and firearms promotion. Complex issues never have simple answers. There are conscientious individuals who try to understand both sides of these issues. Labeling them as part of a " Leftest delagation" or...

This kind of event is not uncommon in human physiology. At times, one's digestive track will violently reject a foreign substance after swallowing. Likewise, the body tends to reject foreign organs after transplant. The muzzleloader was just trying to protect itself.........lol

I agree with everyone who says NIB/ $400 is a great deal for one of these. I have one and fill a tag in late PA flintlock season every year with it. They are accurate and dependable. I had my lock tuned, the frizzen hardened and its spring strengthened by a fellow from NH, Earl Kathan, years...

I am interested too, if you could PM me some pictures here on the Forum......that would be appreciated.....

Great to hear from you again! Congratulations on the successful eye surgery and the successful conclusion to the stuck ball. If there was an annual Academy Award ( or better, Muzzy Award) for Forum threads, this one would be in the running......just kiddin' a little........very happy for you...

"The generic circle and dot decoration on the bone inlays".......... are known as " evil eyes" ....In Middle Eastern cultures, a malevolent glare from someone ( sometimes without your knowing) can bring you evil or jinx you. These " evil eye " symbols on the gun are meant to reflect that...

Well, in that case.........could that "P" that I am seeing really be a "J" ?.... Print and keyboard people like me are not really familiar with Early American cursive writing style.........

In the opening post, with the first set of pictures, picture #7 and #8 show the barrel has a fanciful engraving of what looks like " P Thompson" . I think the post title may mislead some to think about a Thompson Center barrel. I don't believe this is the case here. Like Notchy Bob says, it...

Ok, unless my eyes are deceiving me, I see an octagon barrel( 8 sides) and what "appears" to be a 7 sided bore. I say "appears" because I think there are 7 grooves( rifling) that makes the round bore -it actually has- look that way. I sure ain't no expert on old guns, but that's what I am...

This hammer is listed on E..Y as a CVA Jukar Ultra High Kentuckey rifle and colonial Pistol hammer.

PM sent

I see above where you are answering additional questions via PM......so PM sent

Is the barrel "U.S.A." marked? Thanks

Is this kit or factory finish? Also, is the barrel blued or browned ? Thanks....

I believe Lyman also marketed this rifle in the mid 70's as the " Lyman Plains Rifle" .........not to be confused with the GPR......

I just read an online article found in "American Rifleman", the periodical of the NRA..... titled "The Great Ammo Shortage of 2020- When will it end?" This article seems to corroborate what R. J. Bruce posted. In this article, the Hornady Vice President says essentially what the Nosler rep...

Forgot to add.....since that is what you really asked.....I shoot and hunt with both percussion and flintlock. I enjoy them equally.

Well, the way I look at it, you already have 2 percussion guns. Both guns resemble, and are styled like, plains rifles. Now you are talking about building or purchasing a " Pennsylvania" rifle. To me the PA rifle, and all the schools/ makers associated with it says "fintlock". Sure there are PA...

I usually spend 45 minuets to an hour to clean each of my rifles. Two factors have changed my cleaning time from a drudgery to a joy. Factor 1- I am retired and refuse to feel rushed. Factor 2- I now have a camp where I shoot and hunt. I start a kettle of water on my woodstove, watch a little...
