    Top Jaw Screw

    Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place. - John Bender I can see it happening if it wasn't in there the whole way or at one point in time the end got booger'd up and someone ground it down to hit new threads so it was only in there by a couple threads. Either way, if you...

    Flash in the pan

    Alrighty then. Guess I'll have to go find something else.

    Flash in the pan

    I don't know either. Maybe it's the brand of powder. I have been using American Pioneer FFFG, 70 grains.

    Flash in the pan

    Loaded it right at the truck when we got to where we would be hunting at. The powder has been kept in my closet in the orginal can.

    Flash in the pan

    Took the flinter out today for some early season action. My 9 year old wanted to tag along. Since getting something in archery season, I'm not super concerned with getting a deer so I'll probably take the kids more. We hunted until dusk then called it a day. I asked him if he wanted to "unload"...

    PA early season October 15th -22nd

    Mostly for the inliners but you can bet I'll be taking my flinter for a walk. I have a doe tag for 4D that needs fillin'. Any other PA muzzleloader guys hitting early season?

    Traditions Deerhunter Flinter 50cal

    I kind of don't really want a "traditional" one, I'd prefer the plastic stock for hunting purposes since you don't have to care about them as much as a pretty tiger maple one. I have a traditional one now. I'd like to get a deer with it before buying another. I guess muzzleloaders are like...

    Traditions Deerhunter Flinter 50cal

    I'm thinking about buying one to use for hunting. I'm not so much concerned with the traditional look so I'd go with the blued and black synthetic stock. This will be down the road, maybe spring time. I'm on a budget so I can't put a bunch of money in one and I've seen them for way south of $300...

    Had the 45 out today, got a question

    The 11 year old didn't mind the recoil. His Marlin 336 in 35 Rem kicks more. Then again he's shot 3" 12 gauge too so anything less than that he's ok with. The younger one, yep you're right, I'll have to lower it. Ok, polished the spring and the cam on the frizzen. I took some tension off the...

    Had the 45 out today, got a question

    The flint seems to hit about where it's supposed to. I'm thinking the too stiff frizzen is it. It takes a little bit of effort to open it. I got a buffing wheel on a grinder left over from the days i used to polish a bunch of aluminum, so I can use that to polish the contact points. I'll give...

    Had the 45 out today, got a question

    Took it to the local shooting range with my 11 year old, my 8 year old and my 13 year old nephew. None have ever shot a muzzleoader and the 8 year old has only ever shot a 22. My 13 year old nephew didn't much care for it. My 11 year old loved it and rat holed his first shot. My 8 year old...

    CVA/Juker kit rifle? Anyone else

    Maybe my lock has been changed out. It's not marked and seems to work acceptable. Can't say I've ever used a real good flinter so I don't know how they would work when they work perfect.

    Just what you need, another Aussie!

    Why do you shoot a muzzle loader?

    I shoot it because I basically got it for free and I do have fun doing it. Besides, it feels like you touch the past when you do it

    CVA/Juker kit rifle? Anyone else

    I have one my Dad gave me this year. It's an older kit type with the full Pennsylvania/Kentucky stock in .45. He bought it second hand back in the late 80's and never used it much. I realize it's not the best or highest quality but I do enjoy it and it seems to shoot ok. I don't get too crazy...

    What powder, charge, and projectile do you use?

    I feel I may be opening up a can of worms but I'd like to know what others are using. Mines a 45 caliber. FFFG American Pioneer 65 grains. FFFFG Goex in the pan. Prelubed pillow ticking patch Hornaday roundball

    New from PA

    Glad to see many Pennsylvanians here! I'm from Huntingdon Co. myself. I forgot how much fun the old flintlock was to shoot. Back then, I didn't know really how to use it. Now, I have a good idea how to work it. I do need to learn more about how the lock works and how to set the flint. My friend...
