    Big Balls are Better

    I suppose this isn't exactly earth shattering but I got to take my "new" .54 Hawken with a Bill Large barrel to the range today. Yes, it's the same one that was for sale here not too many days ago. I shot from the bench at only 50 yds using 0.015" prelubed patches and 80 gr of Swiss 2f...

    Stocking an H&A-style underhammer

    replacement locks

    I have heard the term "replacement lock" a bit lately but I don't understand if they are generic or specific to particular rifles. In the event that they are more or less drop in replacements, is there one made specifically to replace the lock in a Cabela's Hawken rifle? The rifle in...

    Original Hawken

    The photo attached is of an original Hawken that was at auction a few years ago. Another like it resides in the Cody Museum. I believe they may be the only two Hawkens with pistol grips. This one was, apparently, a target rifle, judging from the tang fitting for a lollipop style of sight...

    Frizzen fix?

    I have a flintlock that I built with an L&R lock. It has killed many deer and squirrels, but I've never been really happy with the amount of sparks that it generates. It has gotten slowly worse over the years. I am pretty sure that I have the flints properly knapped and aligned in the...

    Traditional paper patched bullet hunting

    I don't know if this is traditional or not. But I'll let you guys be the judge. On the last evening of this year's deer season I was desperate enough that I took my ugly gun. It is an underhammer muzzleloader that I built. 45 caliber, with an 18-twist Badger barrel. It is a special...
