    Austin & Halleck Mt. replacement sights

    My aging eyesight and the original sights,(full buckhorn rear and silver blade front,) on my 50 cal. A&H Mountain Rifle just don't cut it! Unfortunately, I must replace these sights or retire the rifle. I'm guessing that some brand of fiber optic or perhaps an adjustable rear and bead front...

    Is the Fox Ridge Outfitters site down for good ?

    Cains is a great shop. My wife and I stopped there recently while visiting in the area. Very friendly and knowledgable folks. I felt like a kid in a candy shop! HOOT

    "Greenhorn" questions

    Thanks! I'll look for a plastic 50 cal. nylon brush. Would it be like the RCBS ones used to neck clean cartridges before reloading? Also wondered if a 45 cal brush with a cleaning patch would be better than just the jag and patch.

    Loads for Austin & Halleck

    It's a 50 cal. The owner's manual that they sent with the gun leaves a lot to be desired. No loads were listed, only a max. powder load of 100 gr., and a warning not to shoot the preformed pellets. Glad to hear that I could shoot the round balls though.

    Loads for Austin & Halleck

    I'm a "greenhorn" muzzleloader who just bought an Austin & Halleck Mountain Rifle-Percussion-with 1/28" bullet barrel. From what I have read on various websites, conicals are about the only bullet that will be anywhere accurate out of this gun. Can anyone help me out with some suggested loads...
