I didn't say it was anything special just that it was there. Once you get out of the Mid West most muzzleloading supply businesses are small cottage businesses that setup at shoots and gun shows.

After hearing of rifles having rust occur after cleaning I ran a clean patch down the barrel of my Ithaca Hawkin just to check and see if there was any rust. This rifle hadn't been shot in over five years. The patch came out spotless. I clean with hot tap water and whatever dish soap my wife buys which could be any brand? I can clean my rifles barrel in less than fifteen minutes not counting prep time. This rifle has never failed me and accuracy is as good as it gets? That is the only M.L. things I have done lately.

I had traded a modern gun for a CVA Pennsylvania Percussion rifle. Everyone on Gun Broker wants it shipped FROM an FFL. I take them down to my buddy's Gun Shop and walk out with a Muzzle of comparable value.

I took it out to see where she prints. I had swapped out the ugly modern adjustable rear and bead front sights. Now it has a fixed rear and blade front.

It shoots a couple of inches low and a little to the right. I'm selling it so I'll let the new owner make the adjustments.

I spent every night most of the week polishing out the barrel. The previous owner had shot and not cleaned it.
