    Drum help

    Hello,Last week I received a brand new 32 cal barrel made by Ed Rayl. It’s 3/4” across the flats and has a breach plug installed. I want to install a powder drum and build a percussion rifle. My question is, does anyone make a drum smaller than 7/16” diameter to fit such a small barrel? I’m...

    Built my first rifle

    Well, I built my first rifle. It’s got a Durs Egg L&R lock, Chambers White Lightning touch hole, GM 36” 45 cal barrel and Davis triggers. I bought it from a member here. It started out as a Sitting Fox kit, I had a ball building this! I started in February and worked on it as time allowed. I’d...

    Installing touch hole liner

    Hello, hopefully tomorrow I will be installing a White Lightning liner in a rifle I’ve been building. The liner will protrude in the barrel a bit. Is it better to pre trim the liner before installing or to remove breach plug and file it from the interior to flush. If I do the latter I’d assume I...

    Two Feathers delivers again

    I just received a couple of items from Two Feathers I’d like to share. I couldn’t be happier with his craftsmanship and he is a pleasure to deal with! It all started with the horn, we discussed multiple times how the horn was going to be put together and Dave started the project. Then I...

It would be a functioning hawk as I have a pretty decent spread, with Lots of gubment land surrounding me. I live in northern ca, oaks, firs, cedars, manzanita and pines everywhere on the property. I like...

    My new old rifle

    I just picked this rifle up at a local gun store yesterday, it’s in very good shape. There is not a single makers mark to be found. I have it completely disassembled to clean and oil it. The locks function perfectly. The trigger is going to need a little help. The smooth barrel measures .578...

    Found an original double rifle

    Today at one of the local gun shops I came across an original double rifle. It’s in very good shape, I’d consider it absolutely shootable. one barrel looks to be 20 bore, its smooth. The other barrel I’d guess is between 38 and 40 cal. It has two back action locks and both opperate smoothly. The...

    CVA Mountain Rifle stock

    I bought this rifle a bit ago, the lock was bad so I installed an L&R lock a couple weeks ago, it flat out shoots. I decided I wanted to refinish the stock, it was very blonde in color. So I decided to re shape a few things like the area around the lock and the comb. I got started this evening...

    What did I buy?

    Hello all, I went to the Reno gun show Friday and Saturday. I wasn’t in the door but 10 minutes and found this Rifle. I don’t think it’s been fired, bore was dusty but with a flashlight I could see the breech, it looks like brand new. The barrel is 32” with 8 lands and grooves. It’s a 50 cal...

    I’m trying to be patient

    Well, I ordered an 1860 with all the custom goodies from Longhunter about 6 weeks ago. I have had two very good and informative conversations with Jim. He can’t get the UbertI 1860 to perform his work on. So I told him I’m in it for the long haul and I’d wait to hear from him. All is good, then...

    What do I have here?

    Hello, the first time I held an 1851 revolver was last week when I came across this one. I didn’t notice till I was taking it apart to clean that there was no engraving on the cylinder. I did find info on how to date it, if I’m correct it was made in 1968. I’d love to hear from you all on what...

    Two Feathers

    Hello all, I reached out to two feathers about a Short starter in 36cal. He responded immediately with the options and the price. He ordered what was needed and kept me in the loop along the way. I received the short starter yesterday, less than two weeks from first contacting him, and wow! I am...

I have had two powder orders in the last 6 months from another distributor, anyone in California have any insight as to why they won’t ship? Is there some...

    Suggestions

    Afternoon, I live in California, the Gun/pawn shops in my area very seldom have a new or used rifle to handle so I pretty much just look online. I now have 3 ML rifles, An Investarm Bridger Hawken, A CVA mountain rifle and a TC Cherokee all in 45 Cal. I really like the slim light feel of the...

    Evening, I have been reading about the CVA Mountain Rifle for quite a while and thought it would be a good rifle for me.I wasn’t really looking but ran across this one. Barrel says Made in USA and it is super clean. It’s a 45, my favorite caliber of all guns, including the unmentionables! I got...
