    SOLD Percussion 45 cal longrifle, curly maple stock

    I mistakenly sold this as a 50 cal rifle recently, and made a huge mistake. :oops: So it is back up for sale. This percussion long rifle is 45 cal, and has a beautiful curly maple stock. This was not a kit gun, but I believe a gun built using quality parts. The stock workmanship is not top...

    SOLD 50 cal. Percussion Longhunter, , beautiful curly maple stock

    This percussion long rifle is 50 cal, and has a beautiful curly maple stock. This was not a kit gun, but I believe a gun built using quality parts. The stock workmanship is not top notch, and can be improved on, in my opinion. The full octagon barrel is over 40 inches, and is 15/16" across the...

    Wire inlay tools

    Dave, if you have already tapped the wire into the groove, why is the nudge needed? Or is it for "nudging" the wire so it is vertical in the groove? Dan

    Wasp nest patch

    DEFINITELY a Winter time harvest! I don't think hornets would cooperate with this in the Summer!

    Think I failed this season

    Well...you can still hunt with it, just know your limitations and limit your shots to where you are comfortable. If you can only shoot at 40 yards, you are still better off than bow hunters! And always, always, use a rest when you can. There is no reason not to. Dan

    Barrel center line

    What if the barrel is as he described...round? Bud, is there a rear sight installed, or is it bare for both sights?

    Got my dad's old cva mountain stalker

    I just cleared a loaded barrel by removing nipple, installing grease fitting, then pushing it out with a powered grease gun. The greasy mess is a terrible mess to clean up, but it is an option if you can't clean it any other way. Sorry for your loss. My first muzzle loader was a Mountain...

    drum installation

    Thanks for all your responses, and GREAT tutorial Frontier's! I just discovered the drum I have is too big, it was the only one with the proper size threads in Dixie Gun Works. So...I will buy the proper size drum from TOW, and also the drilling jig. This is quite a good group we have here!

    drum installation

    So, the rifle I bought from a pawn shop was missing the drum and nipple. I bought a drum/nipple from DGW. It screws in easily, and stops on the shoulder above the threads, the nipple is way out of alignment. Maybe I should have bought a drum with no nipple installed, and drilled / tapped it...

    Pawn shop find...

    Update, I received a drum and nipple today . I used teflon tape and screwed in the drum, then a grease fitting in the nipple threads. I was able to push out the load with a grease gun, I couldn't have done it without my powered grease gun. My shoulder is still not well but I couldn't wait...

    My kit

    Zonie, your comments about stain are interesting. I have not worked with beech before, myself. I have used alcohol based stains in maple when making bows, and knife handles, and I loved them. I bought the powders from an on-line store, mixed alcohol, and BAM they soaked in good and looked...
