    Got the permalyn lid off, First coat of finish on!

    Why not stain and finish the inside of the patch box and under the butt plate to prevent excess moisture absorption?

    What would it take for the NMLRA to become a true "national" organization?

    Google is your friend. I don't believe you actually do not know, and I'm not going to play games with you. If you really wanted to know you would have figured it out in about 12 seconds.

    You're kidding, right? You haven't seen anything bad out of the NRA? I'm a member, but only because I have to be. La Pierre makes Santos look like a saint.

    Squirrel season is open!

    I know several states have such early seasons, but I would not hunt them this early. I don't know anyway to avoid leaving motherless litters of squirrels in their nests waiting for mom.

    For Those who camp at Friendship Take Heed!

    An amazing thread to read. I think a lot of people are working hard to misunderstand and take umbrage. FWIW, the "modern" equivalent of the NMLRA (aka the NRA) charges $45 per night in their full hook-up campground and has a liability waiver for you to sign (albeit much shorter, probably due...

    Well for darn sure the NMLRA can't get bigger if you don't join. Why don't we all complain about the weather? Might be more constructive.

    Bill Large Plains Rifle

    Why have you never fired it? Heck of a nice rifle to not use.

    Bill Large Plains Rifle

    I was able to use an L&R with very little fitting work. Very lucky there. The original lock had no half cock, no fly (of course), and flopped all over the place. It had a very light spring as well. Just a mess. Oh yeah, someone had soldered copper wire to the sear to lengthen the striking...

    Bill Large Plains Rifle

    Locks from that era must have been almost all junk, except for Bob's. Both of my Large rifles had junk locks. One got replaced. The other is more problematic and I haven't sorted it out yet.

    Bill Large Plains Rifle

    That's a very nice looking rifle, but I've never seen a Bill Large barrel marked that way. I don’t claim to be an expert, but I always keep an eye out for them. I own two Large rifles that are early ones, and the later rifles that I have seen are marked differently than this, so this is a new...

    Real Sperm Whale Oil?

    I have a can. Made some bullet lube and shot a moose with it. Works great.

    Hello From Iowa

    You might want to check out the Raccoon Valley Muzzleloaders - they have some low-key matches that are lot of fun in the summer. I'm in Story County. Welcome!

    Hopkins and Allen Under-hammer

    Interesting. I find them much like a sack of bricks being overly heavy. The action is a big anchor, and I certainly don't find them to point well. Everyone is different, I guess.

    Hopkins and Allen Under-hammer

    I say that based on what it is, not what it sold for. I have a better version of one (Blue Grouse). They are nothing special and are lacking in many ways.

    Hopkins and Allen Under-hammer

    I think your $150 was generous, and only if the barrel was excellent. What caliber and twist? Much less for anything less than .50 cal or conical twist in any caliber. JMHO

    You have never actually even tried this, have you. :)
