    set trigger on T/C .54

    All this talk about set triggers got me thinking about mine. 54 cal CVA as well. It has always been a bit on the hard side to set.. I took it out, cleaned it, an noted that it set much easier. Put it back in and it was a harder set. What I didn’t notice before was the spring for the set trigger...

    A controversial topic...

    Yes, now that you mention that,.. but we didn’t go to a diner… my cousins would arrive and we’d go out back and down our field for pheasant and then over to the ponds for ducks.. I was the retriever… And I don’t mind the smell of ballistol.

    Bullet stuck in barrel - with a twist

    Practicing something isn’t bad. Yep, the rod breaking did make it more interesting. Normally the barrel isn’t removed when dealing with a dry ball. With that said, you had a reason to take it apart, as you needed more leverage and needed to be able to put some significant force in pulling. when...

    Removing Lead Oxide From Roundballs

    I have been thinking about powder coating them.. maybe a bright fluorescent green or orange… so a spotter might see it on its way to the target.. will report back when I have done some..

    Set Trigger Repair - Investarms Hawken

    I remember playing with the sets on my rifle,… and got it set up to what I like. I played with all the screws for hours.. just figuring out what each screw did. Now, I don’t mess with them..(forgot what each screw did)

    Ballistol.............

    I like ballistol. Clean with a pot of boiling hot water and Dawn dish soap, then dry patches, and then full strength ballistol.

    Got any dumb statements by idiots?? (Muzzleloading shooting related)

    I remember when that restriction started, they said that the ducks/waterfowl would dive to the bottom and ingest small gravel/sand to help with food digestion.(gizzard) in doing so, they would ingest the lead and end up dead from lead poisoning. They would be eaten by other scavengers which...

    Oh, the heartbreak! Imagine the disappointment...

    I ordered some coffee mugs from my companies gift shop, the package never arrived. Called Fed Ex, they investigated and fount the package to be ‘undeliverable’. How nice of them to make that determination.. the previous mugs I ordered, one was broken.. they were all bubble wrapped with no space...

    Muzzleloader Confiscated at Mass. Airport

    It said it was in checked baggage, not carry on. Even checked baggage goes through screening the same as carry on.. And he may have been thinking it was okay for a muzzle loader since they aren’t considered a firearm.. and do not require the NICS check when purchasing. (Trying to give home the...

    How old are ya?

    The first muzzle loader I shot was the one my dad built. CVA Kentucky rifle. (45 cal) I watched him build it, although he didn’t put the sights on it that were in the kit, he put modern rifle sights on it.. I am now 60, which means the rifle is about 48 years old. I found a 54 cal Hawkins and...

    Number 11 cap shortage?

    It was more rhetorical than anything else.. I will see how long it is before they remove the label for the space..

    Number 11 cap shortage?

    I visited my local Walmart store, I check to see if they have #11 caps every time I go. They never have any. Yesterday when I was there, I noted they have them on clearance… funny, if they never have them, why clearance… lol

    Degreasing parts

    Denatured alcohol. Have a few on hand.. Wet one with the alcohol wipe the area, then wipe it dry. Do not let the alcohol evaporate, if you do, all the contaminates will remain. Do this a couple of times, after both are remaining clean. ( if the rags are showing any form of contaminates) Then...

    How do I clean my Balls?

    Does anyone powder coat their cast lead balls? I know it isn’t pc, but it would definitely stop oxidation and also make them safer to handle… (Cast lead in my garage and handled lead without gloves for years.. lead test remained the same Over the years, was tested 4 or 5 times over a 10 year...

    No more trail cameras allowed in Utah

    They shouldn’t ban them, just sell permits to place them.. only a certain amount of permits for a given area.. all cameras must be marked with the owners name, and permit. Simple solution.. oh, and no live feeds, all cameras would need to be on an 8 -12 hour delay, same as if you were to use a...
