    Should the premade over powder wads be dry or greased? They sell them either way. PD

    1981 CVA Big Bore Mountain Rifle

    I posted this up a few years ago before the admins merged my accounts. Can't find the old post. I bought this CVA Big Bore Mtn Rifle in Alaska in 1981. It was a kit that I put together with a "screwdriver and a pocket knife." Well that's all the tools that the guy at Ander's Cache told me that...

    Old Ball Starter ???

    I got this starter in Alaska in 1981. It has a steel spindle, brass ends and a bore guide. Any idea who made it? The shop sold CVA stuff. Pete Davis

    Tree Hawk Update/P Davis in VA.

    OK I apologize if this is a redundant post. I posted about this rifle in October of 2020. I had not shot it since then. It is a Thompson/Center Tree Hawk, 1994 production. It started life as a .50. The barrel decayed/I neglected and became a patch shredder. So I got Bobby Hoyt to rebore out to...

    Buffalo Arms

    Last week I put in an order for five pounds of black powder from Buffalo Arms. They hit my card with a pending charge for six days and issued me a tracking order. The tracking showed up as "waiting" for five days, as my CC statement online showed "pending." Today the card has no pending charge...

    Polishing A New Bore

    Greetings Do folks like to polish newly machined bores by simply shooting them in? Or is there another process to smooth machining marks down. Pete Davis in Virginia

    Thompson/Center Tree Hawk Project

    Does anyone here remember the T/C Tree Hawk Carbines? These were offered in .50 caliber and a fast twist with shallow rifling. 21 inch barrel. I got one in 1994. It was tricky to shoot with pyrodex and the accuracy was not always too tight with the fast twist. Just OK. Nonetheless I used this...

    Some Stone Knives

    Here are the ones I knocked together for Christmas gifts for my friends. Various blades, handles of deer and bear bone and cedar. Sinew bindings, hide glue adhesive, walnut oil over. Rawhide sheaths are being made this week. The bear fibia and deer ulna are interesting bones that punch holes...

    Best Twist Rate 21" Barrel?

    I have sent my old .50 T/C Tree Hawk barrel to Bobby Hoyt for reboring to .54. As it stands we are looking at a rb twist of 1/60". The sights on the gun are close range, and the rifle will have plenty of power with the prb at close range. Would there be any advantage in a faster twist and...

    Virginia Quartzite Knife

    Now here's one for y'all. Blade was knapped with a hardwood billet from ferruginous sandstone from the crest of the mountain in Alleghany County, VA. Deer cannon bone handle, pine pitch glue with charcoal, deer leg sinew lashings, hide glue over all. Sheath is whitetail rawhide that took a...

    D. M. Davies Mystery Builder

    Here's my single flintlock rifle. It's a .62 Jaeger, browned furniture, beautifully done. I purchased it a few years ago from an owner in Lexington, VA. He had no idea of the builder. Upper barrel flat is signed D M Davies. It's a fine piece, shoots well, but we have no idea who the builder...
