    Pedersoli SxS Help Please

    I recently purchased this Pedersoli 12 SXS, and noticed this gap at the muzzle. What do you recommend? Solder? I have a torch and do some soldering, but mostly electrical stuff. I am concerned about destroying the joint if I try to heat the muzzle enough to melt the solder. Drip some in...

    Deer Hide Day 3

    T/C Hawken Percussion Misfires

    I'm having recent trouble with an older (early 80s) T/C Hawken .54 percussion rifle - all original. When I pull the trigger, the hammer has started catching on the set trigger notch, resulting in a misfire. I have taken the trigger and hammer assemblies off, cleaned and oiled them well, but...
