I’ve been a studying 19th century “southern mountain”, “Kentucky”, “Tennessee” or whatever you want to call them rifles and there’s some common features of these here guns I wanted to give mine.
I noticed quite a few of them had long ramrods which I reckon made it easier to pull them out. I didn’t like the factory rods that came with my Traditions and Jukar guns so I made own that look like ones I saw in old pictures. They fit the pipes better too.
I also noticed the horns and shootin’ bags were small and plain. And they didn’t have a bunch of dingly dangly gadgets and gizmos hangin’ off the straps neither. A powder measure would be about it, but not always. So I’ve lightened my load considerable since I started this hobby.
I’d already added the grease holes a while back. They work just fine.
Here’s some pictures for folks that’s interested. Yeah, it’s raining here today. Not much else to do.
