    Canadian hogs

    A thread in the traditional hunting section caught my interest in the wild pig/hog problem in the US. I'm a trucker and have yet to see one in my travels. I'm mostly in the western provinces now but do go east a couple of times a year. I see everything from turkeys to grizzlies but have yet to...

    .50 Browning Mountain Rifle Picture Heavy!

    I purchased an unfired JBMR awhile ago and finally had some time today to clean it up and address some issues. I decided to polish the brass because a previous owner put a coat of shellac or varnish on the brass. Maybe the rifle came like that new? There was tarnish forming under that coating...

    Investarms Hawken, Plains style rifle

    I'm looking at an Investarms rifle that was sold by Safari Arms, Toronto, Ontario. I have an Investarms GPR and a Plains rifle both from Lyman. There's nothing special about this rifle except it has two barrel wedges like a GPR but looks like a Hawken style rifle. I searched Investarms site and...

    Reboring a roached barrel

    Hi. I have a .54 Lyman/Investarms GPR barrel that is badly pitted. I managed to clean it up to the point it will shoot ok but it fouls quickly and is hard to keep clean. Is there anyone in Canada that will rebore a barrel? Im pretty sure I can't ship it to Mr. Hoyt in the US. My other question...

I think its a High Plains Sporter but have never seen a barrel like that. Not much other info. The seller wants around $275 for it. Its a bit...

    Using mask while melting lead.

    I've recently started making my own roundballs and Maxi-balls. I'm pouring outside with a breeze but still get a whiff of dross now and then. After pouring some ingots, I decided to get a mask. I bought a half face respirator with 2 P-100 filter cartridges. I'm curious how many more experienced...

    TC .32 Cherokee

    A lot of never seen (by me) firearms are popping up for sale on the gun sites up here in Canada. I joined in and sold some unmentionable ones to fund the purchase of a near mint Cherokee and a couple of Senecas. The Cherokee showed up today. It appears unfired but has a synthetic rod and a sling...

    Lead melting stove

    I came across a fella selling a lead melter on a buy/sell forum recently and thought I'd share a pic. He was a retired plumber and had used this for over 40 yrs to melt various metals. It's basically a giant white gas stove with a pot on top. It puts out a huge blue flame. I haven't had a chance...

    Loose 'clean out' screw on GPR rifle

    I recently aquired a used GPR .54 rifle. It has quite a bit of surface rust in the bore which was bothersome but I managed to clean it up. I was cleaning the nipple hole and noticed the clean out screw was in further than my other Lyman rifle. I was quite surprised that it screws in and out with...
