    forsyth barrel

    Duane I'd like to ask you some question seeing you have some experience with forsyth rifling. I tried shooting 200yd just once after reading an article that was written by wosika about long range shots during the revolutionary war. I'm more interested in 100yd shots. I have been bushel basket...

    forsyth barrel

    I got a 62 cal 104 twist barrel from Rice a couple year ago. so far its just a 50 yd. rifle. It groups well at 50 , but after that it falls apart. I'm shooting a .612 ball .018 patch 185gr 2f with a vel. near 1800. At 200yd I'm lucky to hit the...

    forsyth barrel

    I'm making an underhammer with a one piece 1/2 stock. I prefer it not to have it not look like the Hopkin and Allen. I'm locating the ram rod on the left bottom 45 flat,just to give it a slimmer profile. The hammer and trigger don't use the trigger guard for it's spring. The springs are...

    Anxious for my forsyth barrel

    "IT" is a one piece half stock underhammer with a hooked breach. I like to take the barrel off to clean it. I also like to keep the blast away from my face. It also protects the cap and nipple from snow and rain. I saw somewhere on the internet an underhammer and trigger made by D.A. Stanley it...

    Rifle shooting off to the left.

    My rifle is a percussion underhammer. I think Laffindog had a good suggestion and maybe if all else fails get a notchless rear sight and file a new notch to the right of center and between the rear sight adjusted to the right and the front sight to the left,You might have enough to get it to...

    Rifle shooting off to the left.

    I had that same problem with an underhammer I built for my nephew . I used a 62cal. 1 1/8" tapered Colerain barrel. It shot to the left so bad the sights nearly fell of the barrel to get it on paper. We did everthing we could think of,including bending the barrel. We clamped it to a...
