    .32 Crockett Rifle ramrod questions

    Gentlemen, My new Crockett Rifle (2022 manufacture date) has an aluminum ramrod. It appears to be between 1/4 and 5/16 in diameter (17/64). It seems to fit well in the thimbles and stock and does not rattle, but I was looking at making a hickory one. I have seen where many of you have...

    .32 Rifle selection question

    If you had your choice of a .32 Traditions Crockett rifle or a .32 Pedersoli Kentucky rifle, which would you choose, and why? Both with double triggers, both percussion, Crockett is half-stocked and has a 32” barrel (I think), and the Kentucky is full stocked and has a 35.5” or 36” barrel (I think).

    CVA Kentucky pistol trigger

    Recently acquired a 1983 CVA Kentucky pistol in .45 caliber. Took it out to shoot it, and noticed that when you pull the trigger, it seemed to get to a “stopping place” and you really had to keep squeezing for it to finally fire. Any suggestions on how to make it a little more “sensitive?” Thanks!

    Good finds at local pawn shop…

    Ok, so I have previously bemoaned the fact that I never see any sidelocks at any of my local pawnshops or gun stores. Well, I stand corrected, as of today.😀 I went into a local pawn shop and they had a .54 TC Hawken, a .54 CVA Mountain Rifle, a .56 TC Renegade smoothbore, a couple of civil war...

    Getting to go shoot tomorrow!!!

    I am so excited! I finally get to get out and shoot some of my rifles that I have not shot yet. I believe I will take my 90s Pedersoli .45 Pennsylvania Dixie rifle, and probably my 80s Lyman GPR in .50 I can’t wait!😎 I may or may not post results…we’ll see. Lol!

    Optimal bore size for a smoothie?

    I know this is a very subjective topic, but curious as to members’ opinions on what they consider to be the optimal smoothbore size. Also, longer barrel? Shorter barrel? I’m thinking for general use, but specialty uses are good too. Thanks!

    T/C rifle barrels labeling

    Hello All, When did T/C start putting the “For black powder or Pyrodex only” warning on Renegade or Hawken barrels? Also, my understanding is that (except for at the very start) T/C rifles are made in Italy (by Investarms?) If so, why do they not have any Italian proof marks on the barrels? Or...
