    Curly walnut Browning mountain rifle

    First traditional muzzleloader deer

    I was successful this weekend with my first build, that I did the build a long on, taking a nice size doe. I had a problem earlier in the season with the cap not going off. I went to a hot shot nipple and put a new mainspring in the used lock which worked perfectly. Feeling blessed🙌🏻

    Poured pewter nose cap..?

    This is my first try at pouring a pewter nose cap. All was going well until finish filing and I exposed some wood under an area that got too thin. Is there a way to make this look right without doing it over and potentially ruining my stock?

    Lock size?

    I have read through a lot of building threads and several times it is said to pick the right size lock for your barrel. My question is: What determines the “size”? The length of the plate or the depth at the bolster? Could someone explain this for me.

    Manton percussion lock in a halfstock?

    I picked up an LR Manton percussion lock and I am thinking of putting it in a half stock 54 cal. I have read where they were used in double shotguns and rifles in the early to mid 1800’s. I have come up short of finding any examples of rifles with this lock. I’m not looking to make a exact...
