    WANTED ISO CVA Lone Wolf or Gray Wolf side lock in 50 cal

    I have a good friend with two sons. I want to get them introduced to muzzleloaders. I have found a CVA Lone Wolf sidelock locally, and want to find a mate for it. The Gray Wolf side lock looks virtually identical except for the name. I plan to gift these to the boys this fall - assuming that...

    Picked up an underhammer

    I have never been attracted to the underhammers, but had the opportunity yesterday to pick up a .36 Hopkins and Allen underhammer. It is the longer one (the Offhand iirc). I got it with some shooting supplies and a fringed sleeve. I am not sure that I am going to keep it, but I don't have a...

    Is there a list of Muzzleloader dealers?

    I travel the southeast with business, and it occurred to me that I have not seen any list of muzzleloader retailers. Searching on the search engines gives all sorts of random results. Ideas?

    Finally got a flintlock

    I am well acquainted with muzzleloaders. I have a few percussion guns. Today I finally took the plunge and got a flintlock TC Hawken in 50 cal. The serial number indicates that it was a kit gun. The steel is beautiful, the brass has a nice patina. Unfortunately there is a ding in the stock...

    Stripping a barrel

    Forgive me, for I have sinned. I have a TC Renegade project that I am assembling. It is a 54 barrel, which I have wanted for a while. Well, the bluing on it was in tough shape, so a friend who is a semi retired gunsmith said that he would redo it for me. I told him that I wanted a high gloss...

    Thompson Center

    It is sad that they no longer make the sidelocks since they have been bought out by Smith and Wesson. That being said, their customer service is still good. I called with an issue on a rear sight on a Renegade project rifle, and they were very happy to help. In fact, the customer service...

    Best advice for removing a stuck nipple

    I have a Thompson Center Renegade in 54 that has a stuck nipple. Several days of PB Blaster have had no effect. Should I be looking for the drill? Also, the sight is the late style site that has a tiny pin holding the windage adjustment screw. That pin has sheared. Does anyone know a source...

    Sources of parts

    I would love to own a custom rifle, and one day plan to. Until then, it is production rifles for me. That being said, I need a couple of odds and ends. I need a ramrod spring for a Renegade, but TC told me that I am out of luck with them. They suggested Track of the Wolf. I also need a...

    Trash Can Turkey

    My wife's aunt found a video years ago on one of the shopping channels. It was great fun to watch, even more fun to do as everyone looks at you like you are nuts. Basically it is huge dutch oven cooking. Here is what you need and how it works: 20 gallon galvanized trash can 20 lb (16.5...

    Horn question

    I have seen all sorts of creative plugs for horns, but a thought came to mind. The tip of the horn is cut off to make it square, then a hole drilled. Why couldn't the cut off piece be shaped into the stopper? :hmm:

    Another TC question

    I saw something posted a few days ago that I had not heard of. Was there a time when TC had shallower rifling than they currently produce? The reason that I ask is that I have a TC Renegade which has shallow rifling. I thought it was just that worn, but now I wonder. The lands still look...

    Horn repair

    I was given a couple of cow horns and am trying my hand at making a powder horn. The nicer of the two was attacked by some bugs that had quite a nice dinner on it. They did not make holes, but they did get mighty thin in spots. How can I repair the spots? Epoxy and shavings?

    Need help identifying a firearm.

    I have an old firearm that I need help identifying. It is a flintlock smoothbore that appears to have had a bayonet lug at some point. I have some pictures but no place to host them. Can anyone help?

    Precarved stock questions

    A fair number of folks have the CVA Bobcat rifles. I think that most agree that the plastic stock is horrid. I have seen some of the wood CVA stocks, and don't really like those either. My question is this - I know that there are a few folks that can do a precarve for the CVA parts, but is...

    Knife Help needed

    I have a Romo hunting knife that my father used to carry. it has a stag horn handle. Well here is the problem. Over the years the handle got loose. My father tried to repair it by removing the nut on the pommel and adding a piece of leather. It sort of worked, but if you really cut...

    I have coyote face and some leather and thought I would stitch up a possibles bag. What size do you recommend? What about the strap? I can make one about 7" square, and I have latigo that I can braid. I may look for a beaded strap or something. No this will NOT be an attempt at a replica of...

    A few questions

    I have the opportunity to purchase a CVA Mountain Rifle in .50 cal. It has the MADE IN USA barrel. There are some issues. The stock has a crack that is not structural, the nipple is broken off, the drum is turned slightly and boogered up, and it is missing one wedge. The wedge is no problem...
