    Double Trigger

    I just purchased a 1979 Western Arms, Santa Fe (Hawken), .54/.52cal, and I'm still in the review period. My question is about the double trigger in that it doesn't appear that the set-trigger is doing anything. The front trigger is ~ 3-4# pull (I don't have a gauge). When I pull the set-trigger...

    Hunting Squirrels w/Big Bore...

    Do any of you squirrel hunt with big bore guns (/< .58)? My only smoothbore is a .745 (12/11ga). If you do, what is your charge, and if you don't, what is your suggested charge? I use Swiss 2Fg. I have smaller smokeless guns I can use, but would like to know how this gun would fit in squirrel...

    Pedersoli Carbine...

    I ordered, and arriving tomorrow, a Pedersoli Cook & Brothers Carb .58 percussion. In the mode of a Confederate reproduction carbine I had no prior knowledge of its history, but appreciate learning about it. I have their Pennsylvania and really like the fit/finish & accuracy in .50 cal, as a...

    Zouave Nipple Well

    I may be using the wrong term, but I'm calling it a "nipple well" that area the nipple screws into... I finally was able to get the right size wrench to remove the nipple from a recently purchased Zouave, and the first thing I noticed is the nipple has no bottom base. See the picture beside the...

    Dry balling - why won't it come out??

    I know, there are a gazillion posts on this topic, and I've read many, and have tried a few of the "solutions", but first time ever shooting my DeerStalker and on my 13th round I realized I forgot the powder... FFWD 2 hours, penetrating oil in the barrel and a dozen cap shots with BP down the...

    New DeerStalker Question

    I'm just one week into this forum, so if this is not appropriate, or misplaced just let me know. Received my first ML (ever) today. This was planned 40 yrs ago, but life took me in a different direction. Persistence paid off. Would like to shoot it tomorrow, but I'm burying someone in the...

    If you were to make a list of supplies for a 1st x ML owner what would it be?

    At nearly 67 getting into ML for hunting whitetail in WV. Never owned one until 10 min ago when I purchased a Deerstalker 50cal percussion. Based on this, what would be on a list of supplies (mfg, type, etc) for loads, tools, cleaning, etc? I was intimidated to ask this question in this...

    Harpers Ferry, WV (where John Brown was captured & hung)

    It took me literally 40 yrs to get this far in acquiring a muzzleloader, and I almost have it... Won't bore you with the history, but to say in 1977 I had decided to get a muzzleloader. Instead, life turned me on my heels and sent me to Northern Virginia, and hunting went out of my life...
