    Trying to save an old Smoke Pole

    Tecom....Ok....I'll soak the snot out of it and let time work on it. Got the epoxy in and solid now. It's looking very good and should really strengthen the lock and wrist of the stock. I think I need a stronger main spring than the one I just ordered from DGW....it's about 3/8 of an inch...

    Just stumbled on to this forum. VERY NICE. Have been a fan of muzzleloading for a long time. Did some Mountain Man stuff years back, but a military career, marriage/divorce, traveling and a war sort of got in the way, but it's time to get back to my roots so I'm looking forward to building a...
