    Browning Mountain Rifle?

    Was going to mention the Potterfield link, I have seen/read the story, and he has talked about it on TV, in one of the Midway USA ads that run on the Outdoors Channel. I was deplyed overseas at the time these were being advertised, only in the last couple years have I come across one or two at...

    new-used GPR 54

    My GPR has been very happy with .530 RCBS and a .010 pre-lubed patch. I use the "Wonder patches 1000".

    Tip Curtis Rifles

    Thanks, Answering machine must be full.. Rang about 10 times and then went to a "enter your code" message each time I called. I didn't know there was a rondy in Fla, probably where he is at. Won't be in the shop on Monday then anyways. :(

    New Ped Rocky Mountain Hawken on Sale, or...?

    Got mine about 6 weeks ago. LOVE it. :thumbsup: I got mine on sale. Watched them for a year or so, after seeing/fondling a couple at the KC Cabela's. Ordered as soon as I saw them on sale. I too think I am about to make a solid transition to flint, but I assure you the P-RMH will always be...

    PRB Range

    Lonegun, I don't think your reply is smartalec at all. It's reality. I know off the bench in good conditions I can hit the bottom of a pop can anytime any day with my .54's at 100 yards. But, At 54y.o. with open sights, leaning against a tree if I am lucky, in the woods at dusk or dawn when...

    Craptastic first day with flintlock

    There are two clubs "close".. One is in Elizabethtown, "The Bucksnort Longhunters" They put on the 18th century market fair at Pritchard.. That is the 7th and 8th of Feb. this year. They have a membership table set up every year. There is also a club or maybe two, in Louisville/LaGrange. The...

    Craptastic first day with flintlock

    It was UNFIRED.. I was cleaning it before loading or firing.. :wink: After getting the rod tip out, it was about 10 minutes until I cleaned it. I was combat arms for 20 years active duty.. I know how to, and what to, do, to maintain weapons.

    Rate of Twist

    I think 1 in 48 is considered a compromise twist. I have a .50 in 1-48, it shoots PRB just fine, and R.E.A.L.'s just fine, though a bit "left" of where the PRBS hit. (about 1 1/2 inches) It has adjustable hunting sights, and I just adjust the sights for whichever I am shooting. I have a couple...

    Percussion caps

    I have had no problem finding them. In the last couple weeks I have been in 4-5 gun shops, and they all had #10 and #11 standard and magnum caps. I actually bought a couple tins of magnums this weekend, as I have never tried them. I suspect if you go check your local shops, you should be able...

    Craptastic first day with flintlock

    Well.. I like things to work right from the start just as much as the next guy.. but this was my own fault(ish). I actually learned a bit during "the ordeal".. lol. I also now know where to get real BP.. I also learned you *can* put your flint in upside down, for a longer strike, and in this...

    Cabela's Blue Ridge Flintlock

    I just got a Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken (percussion) a few weeks ago, it also has the barrel end "in the white".. rest of the rifle is beautifully finished.. The Kentucky I came across last week has a finished muzzle face. It is an older Pedersoli, 1974 or so.

    Craptastic first day with flintlock

    OK.. so had a few minutes before dark to get at this today. The good news.. It's out. I worked 3-4 grains of Shuetzen fff in through the touch hole, primed, set it in a gun vice so I could use one hand to drape/hang/dangle a piece of heavy carpet remnant in front of the barrel.. out she came...

    Shooting system

    $25... http://www.cabelas.com/product/Davide-Pedersoli-Primer-Nipple-Conversion-Kit/1608590.uts I could see it as a practice tool.. I would be surprised if it could launch a ball out of my .54, but maybe.. and we also have a chipmunk problem.. :hmm:

    Craptastic first day with flintlock

    I am hoping the rod end will be salvageable, it's kind of "different" and I have not seen another one like it before, nor can I find one on ToW's site..
