Yes! Bought my oldest son a traditions deerhunter perc kit gun for Christmas when he was 6. Hes now 10, has killed 2 deer with it, (first is my profile pic at 9 y.o.) and countless unsuspecting cardboard boxes. He loves it! I bought 2 more kit guns for friends who were interested, they built...

Yeah... nothing worse than teaching the next generation how to properly and safely handle a gun... its pathetic how divisive guns and politics can be. I misplaced an Aunt over my refusal to take the covid shot. She says im the most narcisistic person she knows... while she stays tucked up in her...

Here's me with a ginormous variation of the chicken of the woods. Mushroom book isnt near me, but if memory serves, the second part of the scientific name is cincinati or cincinatus... zero sulphur smell or taste in this variety. Delish! This thing was growing on a 1' oak stick that was maybe...

Theres two types of mushroom hunters. Old cautious ones, and young risk takers. Theres never an old risk taker. Find a local individual who harvests wild mushrooms and learn as much as you can. Most foragers are more than happy to share their knowlwdge. But BUY A MUSHROOM BOOK and double check...

Heck yeah! Bought the boy a traditions deerhunter kit last Christmas. He got a doe this year. I wish I could get 1/100th as excited as he was.

Hey all, this year during muzzleloader season I set out to do something I never thought I would do...get the absolute smallest deer I could find in an attempt to rotisserie a whole deer. Well, after passing on a good 20+ nice does and small bucks I finally got my chance. 25 yards facing me...

Very recently I was having very inconsistent grouping with my 50 cal. The guys on this forum recommended a bunch of stuff, and it really helped me out. One I haven't seen mentioned yet is polishing the bore. My groups tightened by 4 inches at 50 yards after running an oil soaked patch wrapped in...

I think the obvious answer here is to buy them, and give one to your new pal Golden Child. Tis the season after all.

Typical... after scrounging the internet for weeks, and checking this site multiple times daily, I finally gave up and ordered a crockett. That was last Monday... apparently you listed this Tuesday. this is my life. This rifle would have been perfect for me. Good luck with the sale! I'm off to...

Alright guys, I finally had time to go shoot. I ran 0,00,000 and 0000 steel wool on an oiled patch, probably 50,100,100,200 times. Finished with wadding polish. I also did find that my snail was hitting my lock in 1 spot. Apparently pretty bad because it took a good 30 min with a file to get it...

Thanks for the reply! I'll give those a try and try to find some gpb or maxi-ball instead of my REAL if I continue to struggle with those boolits. I just ordered a few new nipples, they didn't have hole size listed, guess I'll figure it out when they show up. I do have 2 lbs of goex, but its...

This is why you never hear a raccoon say "he's off to greener pastures" instead, when speaking of the dead they say "he's off to bigger dumpsters"

Got a gallon of kroil ordered up!

Cleaning goes like this: Remove barrel Remove nipple, clean with hot water, wipe with alcohol patch. (Eagle Rare works, but I've found isopropyl to be somewhat cheaper ) 😅 Scrub bore with brass brush, run hot water through it. Place barrel in a 4" pvc tube and fill 1/2 way with hot soapy...

Cap pops, then a smidge later it fires. Up to almost a second late a couple times. Usually just long enough to notice it and chalk that flier up to human error caused by hangfire.

Barrel seems to lock real tight. No twisting or wiggling. There are a few scratches developing on the sides of the barrel in front of the underlug and the wedge fits a smidge tighter than it used to. Still removable with just fingers, but barely. I've got 1 yes, and 1 no on if it needs to be...

The Wife and I are headed that way tonight! Gotta take her out for a meal at least twice a year to remind her why she chose me. If I'm still struggling come spring time 1 of 2 things will happen. 1) barrel will be wrapped around a tree. 2) I'll take you up on that. I'm hoping more for #2...

It's a 1:48 twist. I used a few gallons of elbow grease this eve and ran some 000 steel wool on a 50 jag in and out a good 200 times. Every 20 passes or so I'd re-wrap with new wool. On one of them I got a little aggressive and had to really lean on my Lifetime Range Rod to get it in. When I...

Sounds good. Hopefully next year I can fill the freezer with garbage truck roasts, steaks, and sausage! Hit me up if you want some! Thanks for the reply.
