    black powder beginner questions. traditions Kentucky rifle.

    be careful with the trigger guard when trying to get it to fit, it will snap into like a dry twig. i found it best to drill pilot holes for the screw holes. grease the pins that hold the forearm to the stock before putting them in. makes it a lot better when taking it back apart during the fitting.

    Pedersoli Hawken

    i had one, a .54 it was put together real good and never had any problems with it. the only reason for selling was it was just to heavy to carry. when shooting i had to use a prop. other than that it would be perfect. it took awhile to find a load it liked and for me it seemed to like a heavy...
