    Early 1800's Outfit.

    Who's going to RE tailor it for you when you put on a paunch? Hee, Hee! :blah: :rotf: :grin: :v volatpluvia

    Tennessee Valley Muzzleloading - Virginia Pictures

    There is an actual sight file made. It cuts only on the two edges with the sides smooth so that you don't make your cut on a bias. It works really good. volatpluvia

    Breaking in a lock

    I have never experienced lock break in. I KNOW I got better at handling the lock with the first productions rifles. By the time I got to using the name brand locks on builds of my own, all but that L & R 'Dickert' worked with excellence right out of the box they were mailed in. The L&R had a...

    Beretta 12ga.

    Dixie, Just don't abuse the stock. It will break fairly easily at the back end of the barrels because the wood is thin and has no sides to stabilize it. One was brought to me many years ago to fix. It is a most difficult task to fix it. Then the owner broke it again. Just be aware of this...

    Clay pigeons?

    CoyoteJoe, I must agree, clays with a flinter is some of the most fun I have ever had with a Muzzleloader. Especially when I beat cappers, hee, hee! It's even more fun when it is Sunday night at the Labor Day rifle frolic and the whole camp is out to watch. And the razzing is non stop winning...

    CVA SXS Kit

    Paul, Back in the eighties I had a factory finished one. It was way too short. So I just slipped on a rubber boot type recoil pad on it. I wasn't concerned with looks because the fit and finish left a lot to be desired anyway. The boot surprisingly put my eye to where the poi was real good...

    Wasp Season

    Blackhand, Why would that work when they hang outside all winter and then hatch in the spring? Just Curious. volatpluvia

    Wasp Season

    Spudnut, Even though the hornets have left the nest, the eggs have not. Tear it apart and kill the eggs. volatpluvia

    Leonard Day Dutch Trade Gun

    I have a friend who bought one of those two years ago at the Gun Maker's Faire. His girlfriend and I had to convince him to get out his mouldy money and not leave without it. We knew he would not go back for it. So he did. He loves the gonne. It is his favorite. He named it after his...

    flintlock in humidity?

    Newtothis, If I knew how to post the video a friend took of me I would. It shows me dressed in a wool capote one Memorial weekend in Pennsylvania to stay dry. I am priming my custom yeager in poring down rain. You can see it and hear it on the video. I use the brim of my felt hat to protect...

    So I might hunt Doves with my 10 gauge

    Prob Child, Understand that I am not an expert, do have a little experience shooting the CVA 12 gauge caplock. I would say that you can happily use up your pyrodex. I used a lot of it in the CVA. It flushes from your barrel easily. Always remove the barrels and flush with LOTS of water. That...

    Pyrites

    Grzrob, Okay, you might give it a try. You may as well have the pleasure of the experimentation. :grin: I thought about making a rasp lock using the flint strikers because it would be the same action they are designed for: slow pull, rough rasp, lots of downward pressure. And the striker...

    Pyrites

    Grzrob, Forget the striker flints. They are completely wrong for the action of a wheellock. And you will get one shot per flint or pair of flints. volatpluvia PS. Ahhh, the quest for the golden pyrites!!!
