Phil you a man of many many talents!

You said flintlock so you seem to want to go nice and traditional. You would probably be more satisfied with round balls. That means a slow twist as mentioned. I personally like Maxis and all my rifles are 1:48. It's a decent compromise twist that works well for my needs. If I ever run out of...

Never even considered it. So..no

One of my favorites and I swear (jokingly) that you can hit a deer in the toe nail with .54 and it's going down.. If it's a good price and a good bore don't hesitate.

Let me give you the view point from a former novice. After reading here on the forum I purchased a coil spring lock compressor and a "V" spring compressor from TOW. I took close up pics all along the way and disassembled both flint and percussion in coil and V spring locks. I cleaned up and...

How do you clean at end of day? Do you take the barrel off and pump flush it in a bucket of warm water + dish soap? If not, you may have accumulated crud in the breech. Just a thought.

Well, 1st is the front sight. It swivels left and right with about 47-1/2 degrees of travel. Next is the butt pad. It swivels 180 degrees in case one needs to shoot upside down. It you believe any of this then go and read the jawbreaker post...... and thanks for letting me have a little fun.

Welcome from West PA You live in one of my favorite states to visit.!

Yup a great story and even greater buck.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone asks if you melt jawbreakers does it make a good patch lube :dunno:

Yep. I have several rifles wearing FO sights to go along with the peeps.

In PA a ML is considered unloaded if there is no cap on the nipple or charge in the pan. I can leave a cap lock loaded all season if not brought inside. I have had problems with flintlocks fusing or not going off so I shoot them into a stump at end of day. Yes, I have to clean them but so what...

My 54 Renegade shoots 430g Maxis with 90g 3f and is very accurate.

Just to be clear there was no problem with the factory sights other than my old eyes unable to use them well anymore. The problem I'm am having is self-induced by deciding to put on peeps which I've found has helped my old eyes on my other rifles. The obvious solution is to simply put on a...

Sorry I missed Rich44's answer too. Thanks

My thanks to both Omaha Larry and SDSmlf. The Dillon Precision site confirms the .155 figure. Now to go to the ML suppliers

What's firearm season? I've been carrying various T/C and Lymans in any season that involves deer for as long as I can remember.

Dang! I just pulled it out of the safe to measure the radius and put back. Thank you for that info. Down the basement I go.

I checked my T/C Renegade today. It came new to me with a Davis set trigger. It is very quiet setting the trigger. I also checked my older T/C Hawken and when using the method suggested by P Coffins it worked very quietly..

I put a Williams peep sight on my T/C Hawken. With the peep bottomed out I am hitting 9 in high at 50 yds. Looking over the situation I think my solution is to install a higher front sight. My factory sight is 3/8" high measured from the top of the barrel flat to the top of the sight. After...
