    Why no black powder hunting personalities

    I was trying to think of Millers name. I could picture him with his Hawken stalking the hills of Wyoming. Don't know that his show is on anymore but it was pretty good.

    Well, here’s my woodsrunner (pic heavy)

    A friend of mine ordered his SMR with low grade wood. I'd love tonhave the stock on any of my guns. Yours is another example of this. Beautiful stock. I can only imagine what the high grade stuff looks like.

    FOR SALE .62 North Star smoothbore reduced

    While I'm no expert, researching the gun I had with the hunters star touch mark on the inside of the lock plate, the quasi experts all claimed that is the easiest way to identify one of Curleys guns.

    Rehardening frizzens - one size fits all? Musings for metallurgy masterminds....

    I've only done it during the winter when I already had a fire going in the fireplace. 2 birds with 1 stone. Usually a bit of scotch involved in the waiting process on a cold winter night

    Rehardening frizzens - one size fits all? Musings for metallurgy masterminds....

    Never had any luck with cherry red. I have wrapped the frizzen in leather, stuck it in a soup can packed with leather and put it in the glowing coals of a fire for an hour. Then drop it in a tub of cool water. This technique was shared with me by someone older than dirt who said that the way...

    White Deer

    My take away from your post is that we lose more farm land to another damn solar field. Those things are everywhere in my area. Wonder how much farm land we can lose before it .negatively impacts wildlife and our food supply.

    need help with percussion hammer striking nipple to high

    Are longer and taller interchangeable here? I’m sure replacing the lock plate won’t be an option but it sounds like you’re saying use a paper lock plate just to get the appropriate hammer dimensions?

    bought a JM Caswell smooth rifle please help

    I asked Ken to take pics of the sear, because don’t think the bushing is original to the lock. I also suspect the tumbler may be a replacement since it looks suspiciously like a cva tumbler. There is over travel ( a lot) past the full cock notch. A little forward/backward wobble of the hammer...

    need help with percussion hammer striking nipple to high

    I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I’m lost as to how you increase that distance without changing a lot of things on the lock.

    Any other crazy kids out there?

    I tried a bb gun fight with a friend once, about 12 years old. I stopped that when I had a bb bounce off my upper cheek below my eye. Decided at that point, it was pretty stupid.

    need help with percussion hammer striking nipple to high

    The hammer on this lock is a TC, from a Hawken or Renegade. What is the easiest solution? Replace the hammer, or modify the existing hammer? It's a TC so it's not a travesty to modify it. I'll probably be the one doing the modifying, and I'm hesitant to hear and bend, or heat via welding to...

    Forgive my ignorance but are we talking about mixing actual ash from a wood fire into something to be eaten?

    So, A Mountain Man Walks Into A Gunshop....

    He'd probably walk out with the cva cuz it's all he could afford. Saw a TC Hawken at auction 2 weeks ago, brought $500. Not mint, with a scope mount out on the barrel. To be fair, it did have a greenountain barrel, but $500!

    kibles wild cherry SMR,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Would the fire blue potentially soften the cock and frizzen? And should be avoided.
