    Set Trigger

    Trying to help my neighbor out with his Hawken rifle he's building, and we can't figure this one out. When he holds his rifle in the vertical position (for a long time), and he goes to shoot it the set trigger won't work, the other one will. But if he keeps the rifle in the horizontal position...

    Wet powder

    The other day I ran in a big problem, wet powder. After 6 hours of sitting on my deer stand, I return back to my truck and decided to pull my patch round ball out to see if it would work. It did but, I notice only a small amount of black powder came out. Got home and had to use my scraper to get...

    Butt plate gaps

    Was doing my butt plate tonight and for the most part came out ok. I do have a couple of small gaps one on each side. My "OCD" kicked in and basically wanted to see if someone had tried/can recommend a filler. Thanks Cajun.

    Buy or pass what would you do

    Greeting all, I have a Thompson center Hawken stock on hold at a local pawn shop. The owner at the shop had sold the barrel off a long time ago. The stock looks great, but for one defect, one of the tang screws is broken off below the wood. I have helped a friend once who had broken a screw off...

    Question on cutting a barrel.

    Today I picked up a nice Green Mountain barrel at an estate sale. I finally found a gunsmith to install the breech plug for. I will be doing the dove tails myself. While we were talking on the phone, I told him I wanted to cut the barrel from 36-inch to 32-inch. He stated that if I cut the...

    Today I picked up a 50 cal, 36-inch Green Mountain barrel at an estate sale (still in its wrapping paper) for$45.00 dollars. I'm thinking about using it on the project I'm working on now. I have a Thompson/Center Hawken replacement stock and the question I have if I kept it at that length (the...

    Cold/hot browning

    Greetings all, on my upcoming project I will be browning my trigger guard, butt plate and barrel. My question is there a difference between "cold browning" and "hot browning" (coloring). What brand of browning agent does the best job for you, thank you.

    Kibler's solution

    Greeting all, has anyone ever used Kibler's solution or something similar on their lock/furniture for their muzzleloader. The reason I'm asking I was planning to brown my L&R Lock on my upcoming project. After polishing the lock, I kind of like the look. Maybe take back a little of the shine off...
