    TVM Lead Time

    I received mine last month. It was a day or so over 8 months. But was well worth the wait. Tom.

    Stock Engraving(wood)

    When it comes to stock engraving I know very little if anything. So if my question is stupid then just tell me so. Once a rifle has been finished and shipped(a custom rifle). Can any wood carving be done to the rifle?? Or is it too late to do any carvings once the stock is finished?? I had...

    Renegade Leather Recoil Pad

    I have ordered a few pieces from a fellow whose business name is "LeverGuns Leather". He will make you one any way you want it. Check out his web page. All you do is send him two tracings of your stock and he will make you one that fits perfectly(and for a decent price). Below is a picture...

    Let's Talk Loads

    Actually he is not my son. He is the son of my very best friend. But I do believe I would do anything in the world for that boy. I bought him his first rifle. I bought it the day he was born. I had to beat his dad to it. Below is a picture of him with his dad and his first squirrel I...

    Let's Talk Loads

    Fellows I think I am going to be able to get out on the porch tomorrow and shoot my new Flint Lock(50 caliber). In the past I have always shot 90 or 100 grain loads of 3F in my flint lock rifles for deer hunting. However I honestly think I have been overdoing it a bit. Now we all realize the...

    what is 50/50 plumbers lead

    So what identifying mark does it have to tell you it is 50/50 plumber's lead?? If it "Thud's" with no ting then it is probably pure lead. If there is Tn or other hardener's in there you will hear some "tinging". Tom.

    what is 50/50 plumbers lead

    Is the bar marked 50/50?? How heavy is the bar?? If it is 50-50 solder it should not be very heavy. 50/50 solder sells for about $10 a pound. I would not trade it for pure lead which you can get for $1 a pound. If you have 50-50 solder then the bar should not be that large. So how much do...

    Being 'pushed' to modern weapons

    I am not exactly sure what I think about such a situation. I do my best thinking while I am shooting. I think I wil have to take my new flint lock out on the front porch and shoot a few steel gongs while I ponder on your situation?? :surrender: Tom.

    Instructional Book

    The book is for a third grader. And he is way above his grade when it comes to reading. His father sits down and reads with him at least one hour every evening. And I like to get him books on hunting, history, and firearms. The boy really enjoys it. The little boy fell in love with my new...

    Shoot A Conical?? Maybe??

    I just received my new FL from TVM. And I am pretty happy with it so far. But I have not shot it yet. I have everything I need to shoot PRB's from the rifle. The barrel is a Rice barrel so I assume it is about a 1in66 twist. But that is a guess. I did not ask Toni what the twist was. I...

    Rear Sight Question

    Stump in your before picture is that the way the sight came originally?? The reason I ask is because my sight currently is not nearly that deep. I do like the idea of two hack saw blades. Thanks for that thought. I am not sure if I want a V or a square notch. All my handguns are square...

    My Mother is what I would consider a Master quilt maker. She even teaches quilting at her favorite sewing store. But she does not do it for money. She donates a few quilts each year to the WVU Hospital and Cancer Center for raffles. When you walk in the main doors at the hospital she has a...
