    Taylor vs. cimarron vs. Traditions vs. Pietta?

    I've had several Uberti guns and have never had a problem with them. My 51 Navy is my favorite.

    Stolen Bedford rifles

    He's lucky a lot of us didn't get to sentence him, it would have been a lot more than 1 day in prison. I hate thieves.

    Plain Maple Colonial is finished

    I would definitely say "good enough!" It's really is nice. I would be happy if I could do one like that half as well.

    Pair of Green River Rifle Works Hawken Rifles

    Those are some sweet rifles. The fullstock is especially nice. I have a half stock built by Davy Boultinghouse that I've had for over 40 years and it's a shooter. So a full stock would be next on my list. My ex-brother-in-law had a GRRW Lehman Trade Rifle, it was very well built and very...

    Bowie Knife

    Built this knife a while back. Got the parts from TOTW back when they had the 8" Bowie blades.

    TVM style muzzleloaders

    I ordered a Late Lancaster from them several years ago, made it exactly as I asked and got it in about 6 months. After shooting it for a while there was an issue with the stock right behind the lock. I contacted them and they said send it back. About a week later I got an email and they said...

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    I started getting interested in muzzle loaders in the mid-1970s. At that time about the only production guns were T/C Hawkens and CVA Mountain Rifles. I was in the Army in Georgia and was about to get out and return to Texas. A new Soldier came into our unit from Alaska who was big into...

    Age Range of BP shooters

    I agree, I'm in the 61-80 but started in 1978.

    Lubing patches

    I do everything just like you do except the microwave part. Seems like after they've been rolled up for a while, the mink oil is even. But if it works for you, good deal.

    Dutch Schoultz : A Mighty Tree Has Fallen In the Forest

    I spoke to Dutch a couple of times years ago, he was one of a kind. Great guy. RIP.

    Powder Charges?

    In my .54 Hawken, 110 or 120grs of 2F for long range (100yds+) or hunting. 60 to 75grs up to 75 yards. It's what works for me.

    What is about a Hawken Rifle

    At $1400 that sounds like a bargain to me.

    What is about a Hawken Rifle

    When I was in the US Army from 1974 to 1977 I started getting interested in muzzleloaders and it seemed the only thing around were T/C Hawkens. Then a guy came into our unit from Alaska and we got to talking, he had two rifles made by Bill Fuller of Coopers Landing who made rifles. They were...

    Hate to do it, but here goes.

    I just saw your post, best to you and your family, we'll be praying for you all. I'm sure it's really tough but never give up.
