    CVA Squirrel rifle nipple problem

    I recently ordered two nipples from Track for my Squirrel rifle to experiment with, a #11 Hot Shot and a musket cap nipple. I made sure they were both 6-1mm to fit CVA. I received them and both are labeled as being for CVA. But neither of them fit in the drum. I can just barely get the threads...

    Interesting test data from years back (by Ultra-Hi)

    One of my muzzleloader-related hobbies is collecting old blackpowder books and manuals that are long out of print. One of the titles I have is a book published by Ultra-Hi. For those of you who haven't heard of them, they were a muzzleloader company back around the 1970s. Many of their guns were...

    Brass vs. iron ramrod tips

    I'm going to make new ramrods for a couple of my guns, I was just wondering if you guys have a preference between brass vs. iron tips?

    Found an old Pioneer pistol kit

    I haven't seen one of these in a while. .32 caliber, complete and unbuilt. It was still sealed in plastic when I got it. Surprisingly, the trigger guard fits so it won't require bending. :haha:

    Picked up a GPR; and got a question

    I promised myself I wouldn't buy myself any new toys this close to Christmas, with other shopping to do. But today being my 48th birthday, I decided to splurge anyway. At the local gun shop I found a GPR in the used rack in excellent condition. The price was $275. One negative is that a...

    Charleville pistol before and after

    I bought this on the classifieds last week and just finished tuning the lock and getting everything cleaned up. Functions great, instant ignition (or so it seems), I'm happy with it. Before: After:

    New Kentucky pistol to accompany my old one

    Just a few pictures of my latest aquisition, a .54 Pedersoli. I got a pretty decent deal on it, new in the box for $239. I've had a .54 in flint for years and I've been wanting one in percussion to go with it, so now I've finally got the pair I wanted.

    The Indian Maid's Sacrifice

    I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. The Indian Maid's Sacrifice (also known as The Heart of an Indian Maid) is a very short silent film (under 11 minutes) made in 1911 (this version has music accompaniment). Synopsis: A married trapper wins the heart of an Indian maid and is...

    Renegade

    I got this one at a local gun shop. There are a couple of nicks in the edge of the wood below the rear sight, but other than that it's in good shape.

    Ox-Yoke wonder wads

    I saw a pack of these in a local gun shop, the package says .31 caliber. I figured that means they're intended to be used in a .32 caliber gun, so I thought I'd try them in my CVA .32 rifle. I tried one and it seemed too big. I could get it down the bore but I had to scrunch it a bit. I checked...

    Ever seen caps like these?

    A local gun shop had a few so I grabbed one. First time I've ever seen French caps. They fire great, but compared to my RWS caps they stink like you wouldn't believe.

    Value of a .54 Renegade?

    A local gun shop has one for $350. It's in good shape and the bore looks good, but that price just feels a bit high to me. But I've never owned a Renegade so I don't really know what they're worth.

    Barrel question

    I just bought a new .50 caliber Green Mountain barrel for my T/C Hawken. Doing my usual inspection for damage/defects after it arrived, I found that the powder chamber wasn't drilled all the way down to clear the touch hole. Picture posted below so you can see what I'm talking about. That...

    T/C frizzen problem

    I picked up a T/C Hawken recently, and I just got the improved hammer and frizzen to upgrade the lock. While working on it this morning I noticed a problem with the new frizzen. The tail piece is significantly thinner than the tail piece of the old frizzen. Here are some pictures. This shows...

    New tiller for the .75 handgonne

    My .75 had another tiller for the past year or so that I wasn't really happy with, so I made a bigger one for it, just finished it a few days ago. This one is hemlock. I also added the serpentine which I didn't have on it before. I'm much happier with it now. The overall length is 74"...

    T/C lock upgrade

    I have a T/C Hawken on layaway. It will be my first T/C. I noticed the cock hits pretty low on the frizzen. It's the older style cock and I've heard the new type will put the flint higher. Is it only available directly from T/C, or are there other places that sell them? Also, is it necessary to...
