    Questions about the Thompson Center Hawken

    What is the overall price of the mint condition late production gun? If it is around $500 then I would buy it. If it goes past that then I recommend buying new guns from InvestArms or Pedersoli. The cell phone bore photo is ludicrous, pass on that unless the seller can get a borescope camera...

    Muzzleloaders and firearm laws

    Game Wardens seem to have more powers than other law enforcement officers. They don't need a search warrant when investigating suspected violations of game laws. Then can search your vehicle, your boat, your coolers, and they can go onto your fenced private land too. This is due to the "open...

    Pawn Shop CVA Mountain Rifle Today

    I read posts on other gun forums by police officers about the widows that come into the police station to dump their deceased husbands gun collection. Most women don't like guns and these old widows are just relieved to get them out of the house. Alot of times these are quality vintage guns that...

    Pawn Shop CVA Mountain Rifle Today

    A good reason to sell ones guns to pay bills rather than pass them on to relatives that have no interest in firearms.

    It may be prudent to go with flintlock ignition system as one does not need store bought caps or primers.

    CVA Frontier Carbine - pawnshop rescue

    This Frontier Carbine is a cheap gun, but it is very accurate. Anyone needing a a brush gun should not pass them up if spotted for sale at a pawnshop or gunshow. The short length would make it easy to load when sitting in a canoe. Applying some decorative brass tacks will make it look much more...

    CVA Frontier Carbine - pawnshop rescue

    I needed an inexpensive percussion rifle for loaning out to new shooters when I take them to the range for instruction. So I went pawnshopping, for a factory sidelock. I found out that alot of the pawnshops no longer deal with them as it is too small of a niche market these days. Then I came to...

    Idaho Muzzleloader

    Try using a felt wad between the patched ball and powder.

    Idaho Muzzleloader

    Patched ball will get the job done and with far less recoil than the heavy conicals. It may be the best choice for women and youth. Just make sure she gets enough range time to become a proficient marksman with her weapon.

    Alternate Hawken options

    Consider the Traditions Hawken Woodsman rifle. Buy the kit gun and you can do a better fit and finish than the factory finished guns. This is a very light weight gun compared to the more expensive guns and the 28" barrel will be easier to carry in the densely forested areas. Some people will...

    Beechwood gunstocks

    That means it will soak up linseed oil, so use several layers.

    Traditions is the "Harbor Freight Tools" of Muzzleloading?

    Their barrels are accurate, but the overall quality is best described as cheap.

    People overestimate how often percussion revolvers were reloaded...

    They would be shooting at a large mass of company sized infantry formations rather than at individual men. This was why rifles of The Great War had sights that went up to 2000 meters sometimes. It was from 19th century conflicts, especially colonial wars, where volley fire was still used on...

    People overestimate how often percussion revolvers were reloaded...

    Bowie knives were still carried by civilians. Military officers still used swords.

    Choosing a muzzleloader

    What game species are you hunting? A good squirrel rifle will simply not do for elk.

    Black powder shooting`s getting ex-Pen-SIVE!!!

    Gunpowder would be more profitable without the deep state gun control. Their ever increasing regulations and fees are intended to destroy the industry. The politicians that appoint anti-gun bureaucrats are also appointing anti-gun judges to make it possible for anti-gun lawsuits which may put...

    Muzzleloading Rifle for a Lady

    Get the Kentucky Rifle kit from Traditions and put it together yourself. You can make the length of pull shorter if you need to. I recommend a using several coats of the Lin-Speed Oil finish and use wax for a final finish...

    Black powder shooting`s getting ex-Pen-SIVE!!!

    More like deep state gun control is driving up the operational costs for capitalists, which get passed on to the consumer.
