    Drop in barrel

    Some time ago I purchased a second barrel for my GPR and it makes more sense to me to have a second barrel to use in one stock than a duplicate gun, which is a more economical approach as well. The second barrel is for shooting conicals as it has a 1:32 twist and shoots them quite nicely. On a...

    Drop in barrel

    I've looked at these as well for my GPR and the GM "drop in" barrels are ready to drop in with various rifles that use one barrel wedge, however - the GPR uses two barrel wedges to secure the barrel to the stock, so the drop in must have a second underlug installed. Whoever you buy the barrel...

    TVA southern

    I've always liked the SMR style of rifle and am not familiar with its evolution in the Southern Mountains, nor have I read any documentation or information about these rifles. I always assumed these rifles had straight barrels and not swamped barrels. Are there any good book references of SMR's...

    how do you go about ordering?

    Their catalog has an order sheet with all of the information they need to build your gun, so they'll likely e-mail or fax that to you to fill out along with a down payment. Go to their website and use their contact info and you're "good to go" from there.

    Hours to build

    I read ( and listen to ) many different subjects here regarding building muzzleloading rifles and smoothbores and I must admit you're all gifted in many ways ( and patient too! ). I'd like to build a longrifle and maybe will one day in the near future. I need to acquire a few "how to" books...

    rack or meat?

    Interesting thread for sure. Here in the Great Lakes States there are a bunch of deer and like everywhere else, this can vary considerably with topography, pressure (both hunter pressure and urban pressure), available cover, etc. I enjoy eating most venison and like many, will opt for a nice...

    Smooth Rifle

    Thanks to all for the information.

    Smooth Rifle

    I appreciate the information. One more question related to this subject - then I'll move on. Why does one choose a smooth rifle over a smoothbore such as a fowler ? Regards, Vic

    Smooth Rifle

    Not sure where to pose this question, but this seems to be the appropriate place. What's the difference between a "smooth rifle" and a musket and/or a fowler ? I realize a smooth rifle has a heavier barrel compared to the other two muzzleloaders mentioned, but why ? Thanks..........

    Lyman GPR Kit troubles just wondering

    I built a GPR 54 percussion about 25 years ago and am planning to acquire or build a flintlock rifle, however I haven't decided on just "what" - yet. I plan to change out the trigger on my GPR to a Davis Deerslayer trigger. How are the GPR flint locks ? Are any of these being changed out ? Just...

    Inexpensive flintlocks...

    Interesting thread for sure ! Awhile back I read a bumper sticker that read like this......"When you buy quality - you only cry once!" This applies to everything, but is quite applicable to and for all of us one way or another.
