    Who knows about Barking?

    Historically, wasn't the intent to recover your projectile?

    TRADITIONS DEERHUNTER ???

    My stock has seen it's last days. Anybody have one that will fit? I think CVA fits. Tried the swap once when I had a CVA.

    TRADITIONS DEERHUNTER ???

    A deerhunter was my first ml. I love the short length and the drop at the comb. It really shoulders well. I've killed a few with it. Also missed two nice bucks because of hang fires. I was using pyrodex and I did my best to get the powder in the bolster. I had better luck with some nipples over...

    Hmmm interesting. I've got some Minwax special walnut and red oak. Wonder if I can mix it with that?

    Check out this hardware

    This is my GPR hardware. I blued it with BC blue and then used The Works toilet bowl cleaner to remove it. It left this cool gray color. It's shiny after a good scrubbing with 0000 steel wool. Before the steel wool it was matte finished and had already started to brown a purplish color. The...

    Brown everything?

    Now that I have decided to brown my GPR caplock I need to know if I should brown ALL the hardware or not. Of course the lock plate and the hammer are case colored. I'm talking about the escutcheons and forend cap. I have even thought about removing the finish on the screw heads and browning them.

    Bending cast stuff??

    I've got the same problems on my kit. Haven't started it yet so this thread is pretty timely.

    Where to shoot around Chapel Hill/Durham, NC?

    I don't have any period dress yet. Do you have shooters that show up to see what it's like and maybe pick up some ideas about dress and soon after attend in period dress or is that kinda thing discouraged.

    how to make a newer rifle look old

    http://67.155.195.3:8050/FMPro?-db=GMA_Inventory.fp5&-format=inv_detail.html&-lay=web&-RecID=43290&-Find This is the look I would like to get out of my GPR kit. I know the best way is to let it age 100 years but I'd like to give it a good head start.

    traditions bbl compatibility?

    My Traditions Deer Hunter fits my CVA. I don't know exactly which CVA it is but it does not have a patch box and it only has one barrel lug. Maybe you could pick up a cheap CVA stock on eBay.

    hawkin finishes

    What is "cased" and how do you do it? A google search revealed nothing. Thanks. I assume it is case hardening and will be raibow colored like most locks.???

    Starting GPR kit

    I have a few questions. 1. The forend cap and ramrod tube is already pinned to the stock. I fear buggering it up if I remove it but I can't see anyway to finish it if I don't. Do you just drift the pins out? 2. I've read the directions that came with the kit. Am I mistaken or is the gun...

    $90 CVA

    I got the 50cal percussion from Midsouth. Got the hint on this board. It was the least expensive place by far.
