    Dixie Gun Works Tennessee Flintlock

    A hunting partner of one of my friend's fathers just hit 82 the other day and he is looking to sell some of his firearms that he cant handle anymore. The only flintlock he has left is a Dixie Gun Works Tennessee Mountain Rifle. It is .50 caliber, Flintlock and in good condition with no rust...

    What is everyone's opinion on this CVA Mountain Rifle ?

    Thank you @SmoothboreMurph and @Murphinator for helping me find out this rifle is a trash heap. If I have any more questions I'll keep them to myself for now on or find a different forum or just PM you murph since you have brain up top that works.

    What is everyone's opinion on this CVA Mountain Rifle ?

    I asked a question thats all I did. I wasn't selling this to anyone or advertising it to everyone. I did say "this years deer season" implying 2022-2023. That is quite plain to see. Also the last post featuring this rifle was also mine yes but it was a post about 4 different rifles I was trying...

    What is everyone's opinion on this CVA Mountain Rifle ?

    I thought the rear had to be up that high because of the lock. Shows how much I know about these things. Apparently Im just a fraud and a hacker. Oops. SmoothboreMurph just gave me a lowdown he got from a forum member who has seen the rifle in person and basically this rifle is actually being...

    What is everyone's opinion on this CVA Mountain Rifle ?

    About a week ago I posted on the forum about a decision making predicament I was in. Well fate has solved that predicament by leaving me only one rifle to choose from. The only rifle I have left to choose (as the two kits I was looking at were missing most of their parts and the Whitworth sold)...

    I'd like to get some opinions on a matter

    So it seems that both kits are out of the question to me. I work 12hrs a day 6 days a week so I would only maybe be able to avg at a max 4 hrs a day if even that maybe 6-8 on a Sunday. Thanks for that info I didnt think itd be that long of a job. I guess I might look into my other two options.

    I'd like to get some opinions on a matter

    How many hours do you think with zero experience I would pour into a Maryland Long Rifle kit. The barrel dovetails have been cut as well as underlugs soldered on and breech plug installed. I would like to get a hunting rifle ready for this year's deer season with some time in between finish and...

    I'd like to get some opinions on a matter

    The Maryland Rifle is .50 caliber. Thanks for all the input as usual. Secondly thanks for giving advice on the Traditions Mountain Rifle.

    I'd like to get some opinions on a matter

    Sadly no, it the stock is Walnut and its plain looking at best not fancy at all looking compared to whats on Kibler's website.

    I'd like to get some opinions on a matter

    In late December I posted about trying to find a rifle. Well from then until now my search has yielded nothing to me. I have been so busy with work that I havent been able to travel out of state to the well known Muzzleloading shops or the different fairs. Ive been able to find at least 5 rifles...

    Want to get into Muzzleloading and have a lot of questions so I figured I would post in this forum.

    I just joined the forum too, I live in Little Orleans. I am also looking for a first flintlock to hunt with. SmoothboreMurph invited be to his farm and I met with him and a few of his buddies and they let me shoot their guns. I think I am going to have a .54 or .58 Kibler Colonial built for me...

    New to the forum and Muzzleloading and I need some help with a Rifle decision.

    That's must be one good feeling to take of a 276 year old piece of history that still fulfills its intended purpose. I know there is supposed to be an Antique Gunshow near Baltimore Maryland come March I think I am going to wait on buying a flintlock until then just to see what is at the show...

    What rifle do you use to hunt with if you don't mind me asking ?

    New to the forum and Muzzleloading and I need some help with a Rifle decision.

    I actually did, I looked at one that was in .32cal just picking it up and shouldering it, looking at the sights and to be honest it didn't feel right. The sights weren't that good in my opinion and I didn't like the curve of the stock into my shoulder. It reminds me of the Kentucky made by...

    New to the forum and Muzzleloading and I need some help with a Rifle decision.

    My friend was letting me hunt this year with his Thompson Center Renegade Flintlock .50 Caliber. He was going to sell it to me for $425.00 but I wanted a Long Rifle. But the Pedersoli Jaeger looks like a decent rifle. I just don't know the pro and cons of a Jaeger v A Long Rifle. SmoothboreMurph...
