    Does this look right to you ?

    Leave it alone. It's a period Maine rain forest rifle. The file work is to drain off the rain water so the front sight doesn't get swamped. Common in coastal OR and WA as well. Check the underside of the barrel. It probably says Francis Marion. If it works, don't fix it. SW

    Help me. I'm moving to Florida. My poor barrels!

    Thanks Notchy. I guess with my limited BP experience, it's better to be lucky than good. But I did have to learn the hard way with unmentionables, and it did pay off. With smokeless firearms it seems like the rust shows up more on the outside than in the bore. With MLs, rust on the outside is...

    Help me. I'm moving to Florida. My poor barrels!

    I third the Breakfree Clp advice. I grew up with firearms in southern CA, 3 miles from the beach, and until I learned about Breakfree, rust was a constant battle. Just as important, no matter what you choose, never, ever store your firearms horizontally. There is a reason tradesmen hang tool...

    Can powder brand be responsible for this much difference?

    Good call. I know it isn't directly apples to apples, but I have extensive reloading experience with unmentionables over a chrony, and with no sight adjustment, higher velocity loads invariably strike lower on the target. Counter intuitive and it leads many without a chronograph to believe that...

    SOLD - Pending funds Thompson Center Seneca Renegade Hawken rifle .50 cal

    Well, if your name is Rex or Dex[ter] there might be hope. Still a fair deal though. And for someone skilled enough, a good place for a creative inlay. SW

    Hawken

    Whuddaya mean Packrat, I saw that same rifle for sale for $450.00 before Sleepy joe saved the economy. How are we supposed to forage when a $450 rifle now costs $10,000 ? That's $450 and 95 and a half tanks of gas for my truck. Ouch ! SW

    Hawken

    Hey, for another $110.00 they will throw in a custom Matt Dillon suede vest to round out your impoverishment. SW Discerning Tim, discerning. Not cheap. And millionaires are passe'. A 4 bedroom house in a nice part of Memphis [is there one?] qualifies you as a millionaire. Sleepy joe spends...

    Sows ear CVA Hawken.

    I am still a novice, TreeMan, but that rifle looks terrific. Very nice job. And I totally agree with you on how these 'cheap' guns just hunt. Like you, I just like things that work. Not sure what maker your CVA is [1987?], but it has the drum style ignition like my 2 Traditions [Ardessa] and if...

    MINIMUM LOAD

    10 grains and a baseball mit. Run in the direction of your shot, as soon as you pull the trigger, to catch any misses on the fly. Saves a ton of lead and keeps you in shape for D League. Practice bunts, with your stock, on the wounded squirrels. SW

    Patent Breech Investarms Hawken failures to fire

    I wouldn't call it slapping. More like knocking or rapping in quick succession to help gravity get the powder to trickle in underneath the nipple. These vibes could work from either side as long as the lock is gravity side down from the powder charge. If one likes bashing his knuckles or palm on...

    Triple 7 3f

    Interesting. I pack every load of t-7 pretty well in 3 different rifles-TC Hawken, Traditions Hawken and St. Louis Hawken, and it functions really accurately for me. Maybe inconsistent compression is the real and bigger problem. That would probably show up in real black powder as well. I have...

    Patent Breech Investarms Hawken failures to fire

    Isn't it great, TDM. They keep coming up with new products that are just as unavailable as the old ones we would like get. Seems as if we all need to have our own youtube channels to promo new firearms products. Those guys always have all the supplies they need so they can encourage us to buy...

    Patent Breech Investarms Hawken failures to fire

    I use nothing but t-7, and while sometimes finicky in patent breeches, the Knight Red Hots have been outstanding and solved the problem for me. The Hot Shots, which are vented did not work at all for me, but some shooters love them. I think I got the Red Hots at RMC Oxyoke or Track of the Wolf...

    Relined barrel proble

    This is disturbing news. He has had such a good reputation that I was thinking of sending a barrel to him. Not saying I won't, but I hope he speaks up soon, addresses this problem and lets us know correction is in the works. Communication is key for those dealing with the problem. A competent...
