    My 1st attempt at browning

    I plan on doing a rifle build in the future and to prepare for it I decided to give my GPR a facelift. I have an L&R replacement lock for it and did the browning on it. I like the way it turned out. I still have to prep the barrel for browning, I'm working on the furniture now. The lock on the...

    Good range day.

    It's been awhile since I've shot my new TVM Leman. I got it last summer and got some bench time with it. I had used 2f powder, a .530 ball, and a .015" patch. It shot okay, I knew I had to work on it. Well I finally got around today to "working" on it. I packed up the truck and off I went to the...

    Opening day!!

    I'll be using my TVM 54 cal Leman tomorrow for the Pa. opener. This will be her first hunt. I've got it shooting well, 1/2" high at 50 yards. Hope to make meat and smoke. Good luck to all, Mike

    How do I?

    I had to replace my ramrod today and as I was sanding and fitting it I noticed this. It wasn't that big, I removed some of the wood as it was broken anyway. Will a slurry of sawdust and wood glue do the trick? That is the barrel tennon showing in the hole. I'm not worried about filling it as...

Will this stop eventually. I used breakfree to wipe it down, is this a good oil to use? Thanks for any and all...

    Refinishing a GPR stock

    I've had my GPR a few years now and am going to brown the metal with LMF. Is the stock a stain with oil or just an oil finish? I'm thinking it's just an oil finish. If it's the latter would just sanding it down be sufficient? I'd like to stain and finish if possibly. Thanks for any and all help...

    My try at first build

    I'm gonna try this kit from TOTW after the holidays. It's a Hawken fullstock plains rifle. I'm sure I'll be asking some ?'s as I go. I'm thinking .54 over the .50. Choices one has to make.

    Hello, it's me.

    I'd like to say hello everybody, I've been regged for awhile and figured it's time to introduce myself. My name is Mike and I fear I'm a flintaholic. I picked up a .50 cal Lyman GPR back in the summer. I've been able to learn alot of stuff just by reading and doing searches. I've been wanting to...
