Wow, how's your back ??No joke! When I was younger I rode them almost every weekend for sevenish years. Purely a miracle I didn’t get killed by one. What a knuckleheadThey are so amazingly nimble and yet so powerful.

Rifle is looking good. I shoot one myself. Maybe its the camera angle but it appears as if you need to address the nipple/hammer area. It appears to be hitting the back side of the hammer. Since CVA's have a fixed bolster I doubt you can roll the bolster. Probably going to need to heat and bend the hammer into place.
The bolster is not fixed, it screws in to the patent breech. Should be able to tighten it enough to align the nipple with the hammer. I have aligned several usually by loosening them slightly.
nice

. Not great! I fell off a wall at work and broke my back when I was 23. That’s what caused me to quit rodeoing. Ironic.
Built these two little priming horns. Nothing in the picture for size scale but the longer one is actually only about five inches long. Fun evening project since it is dark early and below zero out lately when I finally get home from work. Figured the larger one would be useful when just shooting and not so much for hunting and such. The smaller one is going in my fowler bag attached with a thong so it just rides inside until I need to pull it out easily. It should hold enough powder that I definitely will not need to fill it very often!

Pride of Baltimore 2. Had my boat out on the Patapso River (Baltimore) when it came by. A friend took the photo and had it framed for me.

My wife did something similar. I was talking about how much I liked my Woodsrunner and she said how about I get you a new Kibler for Christmas. I didn’t put up much of a fight. LOL. I ordered an SMR In Walnut a few weeks ago. Getting a bit nervous about getting it by Christmas. Contacted Kibler last week and was told it will ship “soon”! I’m not sure what “soon” means but I’ll give it another day or two and give Kibler another shout.
Those are some sweet pistols! I noticed the Fox. Thought I'd share this.

I used to have something that looked like that but it was cherry red with a solid lid.
I’m obliged to @Flint for the video. I was at the same shoot yesterday. Really fun shoot.
We had the option to shoot the buff’ler from the “horse” and get extra points if you did. Five points for just getting on! I collected my five points (with a miss) and then took the next two shots on my feet.
There was a variety of targets and activities that made for an interesting and fun shoot. It was at a historical 1780s fort location, and that added to to coolness.

I'm sure you will get it! Maybe with enough time for that big box to get wrapped up with a big bow and under the tree!
