    Say PK are you back by Island Lake again? Any interest in doing some muzzleloader shooting at Northern Sportsman’s Club range?

    A Bad Fly or A Trash Lock?

    Nope, it was a soft fly that allowed the sear to dig into it. New fly and properly hardened and it shoots perfectly. Cotton

    Lining an antique double?

    I have an opportunity to pick up a very nice looking English Double which has corrosion inside the breech area. I am not interested in it for a wall hanger but was wondering what the approximate cost of having the barrels lined would be and if that would even be recommended. Cotton

    Once it warms up a bit we ought to see about getting a shoot going in Northern Minnesota there seem to be quite a few “Muzzleloaders” in the area. I’m in the Duluth area. Cotton
