    One of two Hatfields I received for my birthday

    That was a really cool thing to do, I'm sure he will be very grateful. It's nice to see a Law Enforcement Officer or Military person get rewarded. This is a dumb question, but when Hatfield's were being produced, did they always use imported barrels or did they utilize USA made components for...

    3F in Pedersoli .54 Frontier

    I appreciate the help guys. I am sure I will find my owners manual sooner or later, moving is a pain. I did find my owners manual for my Lyman Great Plains and it does list a .54 3F load as one of you suggested. I will start out at 70 grains or so and work up. Thanks again for the help. PW

    3F in Pedersoli .54 Frontier

    All- I have previously shot 2F Goex in my Cabelas Blue Ridge .54 Flint rifle (Pedersoli Frontier). I had a friend give me some 3F Goex that he didn't want and I was thinking of trying it. I thought maybe it would work better with the patent breech. I recently moved and I misplaced my owners...

    Changing the coil spring on a TC lock

    Necchi-Thanks for the video, made it truly simple to change. I believe I ordered the spring from Track. I bought this rifle for my 12 yr old son. We will be deer hunting shortly and we have had a few misfires and the hammer felt much easier to cock than my GPR. I will look at selecting a...

    Changing the coil spring on a TC lock

    I was looking to replace the coil spring on a TC white mountain carbine. Is there a special tool or can I remove the bridle, sear, and tumbler and ease the hammer forward? I would hate to have the spring end up in parts unknown and not be able to get the new one on. Thanks, PW

    Blue Ridge rear sight

    I appreciate the advice guys, I have to admit that I have never loaded roundballs before. I have to figure out some of ths as I go. I have learned the hard way to ask questions when something doesn't seem right. I don't have any problems once the ball gets started so I will just whack the...

    Blue Ridge rear sight

    Can anyone tell me what the size of the rear sight dovetail is on a Cabelas Blue Ridge .54 flint? I have just started shooting it and it shoots really low. I would like to add a primitive rear peep sight. Also, I was using a .530 ball and .012 patch and was really hard to start, are you...

    What oil in the bore after cleaning?

    Lots of helpful information. To reply to the question of what problem I was having with Bore Butter,it was as a bore protectant, not as a patch or bullet lube. Since the rifle I was worried about was my Dad's, I wanted to make sure that I did my best to take care of it. He was a humble...

    What oil in the bore after cleaning?

    I appreciate all of the responses, that helps to clear things up. I have had pretty good luck with bore butter up till now. My father passed away recently and my Mom wanted me to have his Cabelas Hawken that my siblings and I gave him for Christmas several years ago. I know that it isn't a...

    What oil in the bore after cleaning?

    I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I have been trying to understand what I should use to protect the bore of my rifle after cleaning. I use warm water and soap to clean up after shooting and then dry the inside of the bore with clean patches and then use bore butter on a clean dry patch...

    New .54 Cabelas Blue Ridge

    Thanks for all of the help Guys. I bought this rifle when they had them on sale and I am embarrassed to admit that I haven't shot it yet. I wasn't sure if these had the same industrial strength bore protection grease like the Lyman's have. I obtained some the accessories I din't have...

    New .54 Cabelas Blue Ridge

    I purchased a .54 cal. Cabelas Blue Ridge and was looking for some basic advice. I currently shoot a Lymans GPH and before shooting it, I had to clean out the bore protectant. The Pedersoli/Cabelas literature doen't mention this, what have you all done? Also what size ball and patch thickness...
