    I’m curious

    Have you ever tried to adjust your powder charge to the range you are shooting at? For example, 25 yards shoot 50 grains 50 yards 60 or so I do this quite a bit. Mine works out shooting 50 grains in my 50 that's dead on the meat at 25, then I hold the front sight a tad high at 50. Not a tad...

    Have you ever tried SPG Bear Grease?

    I thought I would write a quick note to all you guys about trying SPG's Bear Grease. I purchased some a couple weeks ago. I have been wanting to get away from the Track of the Wolf Mink Oil that I have been using in my muzzleloaders. The reason I wanted to get away from using it, and I have been...

    Early Lancaster vs. Late Lancaster?

    There is also something else with the Late Lancaster, considered the "Golden age" of these rifles. Highly figured lumber, elaborate metal engraving and wood carving were meant to set these rifles apart and show off the builders skill in a competitive market. HH

    What components to gather for 20 gauge Fowler

    If you're going for turkeys, look at TSS Shot. Incredible patterns. I went from 14 hits in the head neck to 50 hits at 30 yards. Plenty to research. HH

    "Above Grade" wood

    It is "My Opinion" that if a man is going to go through the labor to build a rifle, or whatever, he should use the nicest lumber he can get his hands on. Then, use that rifle all he can to give it character. Thats the real value. HH

    Headed to the range today with my .54 Kibler Colonial

    Yep, your eyeballs have plain wore out. I had my eye Dr. check my eyes at front sight distance with a rifle, and a handgun. I have shooting glasses with the script for each in the upper half and readers at the bottom. It makes one hell of a difference! Without my glasses, I see two fuzzy front...

    Fullstock Flintlock Hawken

    How did it shoot? I was very pleased especially the part when I lined the sights on the barrel center, first shot at 25 yards at an inverted "T", the ball hit dead center, but 4" low. A little filing of the front sight and it was hitting dead center in 3 shots. With 50 grains Goex 3F, pillow...

    A Nice Hawken

    You picked an awesome example! That there rifle is quite a piece. Thats probably why it sold for $142,000.00 at auction. I took several pictures for reference in building my Fullstock Flintlock Hawken. "Some people" say a Fullstock Hawken is easier to build than a halfstock. I beg to differ. It...

    Fullstock Flintlock Hawken

    Sorry for the late reply. The lock is a L&R Late English with the Goosehead. TOW has them in stock. It polished up nicely and seems pretty fast. It should work with a 15/16. WC

    Fullstock Flintlock Hawken

    Thanks guys! I really like how it turned out. It takes building several to get things to look how you want them. I'm not a fan of the new and perfect look. I like worn and used, but not abused look. I did some antiquing and distressing for sure. Ok, you talked me into it, I'm going to 6...
