    Woodsrunner group.

    I’ve shot some decent groups with this rifle before. It does seem to be very picky with patches. I ran out of the preferred patches and the groups opened immensely. I got some from the old source and it seems to be in great form. I was filing on the front sight during this session and also moved...

    First range trip with Woodsrunner

    My finished .54 Woods Runner came in at 7 lbs. It balance and carries much better than either my Colonial .50 or SMR in .40. Th SMR is lighter but balances too far forward. I took it to the range and set up at 25 yards. I was just going to get the sights set etc. The first group was with 60...

    Rust blue vs Jax

    The top is Jax Black for copper. The gun has been shot a lot. The bottom is my first effort at Rust bluing. It will be my preferred method if I do anymore. I wish I had known how to do this 40 years ago. Opinions

    Woods Runner weight and balance.

    Mine came in at 7 lbs even, as opposed to the Colonial at 9 pounds 9 ounces The Woodsrunner balances perfectly in the forearm as the Colonial is muzzle heavy. The Woodsrunner is .54 the Colonial .50. I built a Colonial .54 for someone that DID balance and carry much better. when I refer to...

    Rust blue.

    I just did my first rust blue. I’ve browned a couple of barrels before. It turned out great! Was it luck? I did it with a scrap 2” PVC pipe And the Laurel Mountain stuff. July in Texas may be the perfect environment.

    Boiled Linseed Oil after rust blu

    I rust blued my first barrel over the past few days. Afer the final carding and clean boiling water the barrel looked great. I decided to use some Boiled linseed oil. This morning it was a pretty gummy mess. How does one remove it without hurting the finish?

    Skinner Lo Pro peep sight on TC Hawken.

    Has anyone put one of these on a TC Hawken? It looks straight forward, but might be too low to work with current front sight. would it work with the Lyman globe sight?

    To upgrade or not upgrade?

    I have a Kibler southern mountain kit on order, plain maple. I can probably upgrade the wood. I did not at the time of ordering for the following reasons; It is my first kit. I will likely have to put a butt cuff on it to keep from burning my right eye. i sort of resemble an orangutan; not the...

    .390 lead balls?

    I am hoping to get some .390 balls but only seem to find .395. Are they manufactured? I have not yet ordered a gun but wanted to get my supplies.

    Stock design

    I find the southern mountain or Tennessee stock shape visually appealing. However, some seem to have the capability to double as a pitchfork, particularly the Soddy style. I assume they were shot in a Schutzen style with the butt on the upper arm. Is that how many of you use them?

    Greetings from Dallas.

    I have recently become fascinated by the American Long rifle and have many questions. I am retired but spent many years as a small arms instructors for our Uncle. I was also a sponsored skeet shooter. However, I find myself entirely ignorant and curious about these weapons. My local range...
