    deer creek kits

    Anyone had experience with the kits from Deer Creek Products? I was thinking of trying an inexpensive pistol kit before I tackle a high dollar one. Also contemplating a flinter but curious about their locks in their kits. I figure percussion would be a safer bet in terms of function. I'm...

    TC problem

    Hey Guys, I bought that never fired .45 Seneca. Got me some jags and took it out to shoot. It shot ok for the 3 shots fired but I noticed when I was swabbing the bore that there was a spot that was tough to get past down near the breech. Got it home and started to clean it and got a ramrod...

    Hey Guys, I stopped by the local BP shop yesterday and of all things the lady had a Seneca. Unfired, no box, papers or accessories. A few 'rack' scratches. What's a good price? Not that I'll be able to resist. Scott

    wax instead of lube?

    I've had the chance to shoot my Navy a few times and am really enjoying it! Lateley I have been using 15g of pyrodex and 15g of cream of wheat. Topping off the ball with lube. Had a friend who got to go to a big muzzleloading shop say the guy there recommended topping off with a bit of wax...

    Ruger old army

    Hey guys, I just came across a Ruger old army in a shop. It's NIB. The shop owner bought it from a friend who never got to shoot it and is asking $350. From my quick web search this seems like a pretty good price. Any experiences with these pistols? Thanks, Scott

    caliber choice and loads

    Hey Guys, I ve been looking at '51 Navy pistols and I noticed that there is a .36 and a .44. I'm pretty much a plinker and might shoot some wabbits. Any pro's or cons for either caliber? Also what are the ranges for loads? I had heard that if you load light you can top off with cream of...

    point 'n' shoot

    Gentlemen, How do most of you shoot your c&b revolvers? Do you take take careful aim or use the point shootin technique? I have been experimenting with both techniques using my ruger single six .22 for a few years now and am becomming a big fan of point shooting. I can definitely see some...

    Hi guys, I am working on a tvm early virginia and was wondering about the size of the pin stock supplied. It came with 1/16" pin stock but I had seen some 3/32" stock in the totw catalog. Said it was easier to work with. What has everyone's experience been with this? Scott

    changing length of pull

    Back to the blue ridge kit again. I seem to remember seeing somewher that the blueridge has a fairly long length of pull. Seems to me it would be a fairly straightforward process to shorten the stock a bit and reinlet the buttplate. Might have to trim the buttplate a bit. Am I missing...
