    Traditions Kentucky Pistol Kit. Trigger question.

    What do you think, While this is a relatively simple kit (mostly sanding, shaping and assembly), I am unsure how to proceed with the trigger assembly. As inlet, when lock and trigger are test installed, the trigger has so much play that it has to be pulled almost fully back to engage the lock...

    Need some help....please!

    Greetings Everyone, I recently put together my version of a southern mountain rifle, using an R.E. Davis Late Ketland lock and set triggers. Used a straight Rice barrel in .40 cal. I definitely was learning as I went along, but I'm proud of her none the less. Shoots accurately and is a real...

    Greetings Everyone :surrender: Quick question. Has anyone had experience with current Rayl straight rifle barrels (as compared to GM and Colerain)? I have a Rayl pistol barrel that I used as a replacement barrel for a cheap Spanish 1970's Kentucky Pistol kit. Have found it to be quite...

    Faux Tiger Stripe on Southern Mountain Rifle?

    I've been wanting to build a Southern Rifle for years and am getting a bit closer. Will probably use one of the available kits. My question.... Would it be appropriate to paint a faux tiger stripe stock on a Southern Mt. rifle? Are there many know examples? Thanks for your input! :hatsoff:

    Lyman 57GPR and Which 17EAU Front?

    Are there two 17 EAU front globe sights? TOW shows the 17EAU as .464 high, while most other stores list the 17EAU as .494 high. Is there an advantage to one over the other when used with the Lyman 57GPR? :hmm:

    Off-hand Shooting?

    How Good is Good? :confused: Recently I joined the local branch of Wildlife Action Inc. (a great conservation, education, outdoors, organization.) One of the benefits is the club range where I go to shoot whenever I get the chance. I shoot paper mostly and am really trying to work on my...
