    32 v 36

    I have a thing for small calibers and so I've got a hankerin' on adding a .32 or .36 caliber percussion to my flock. 99% use for target/plinking, but there is that small chance that I could go squirrel hunting during ML season So... ignoring what may or may not be available for sale...

    New to me TC New Englander with a 1:20 .45 (well, bit tighter, .4485ish) liner by Mr Hoyt.

My wallet has a strong preference/requirement of "inexpensive" and my shoulder...

    New to me rifles - questions

    What a wonderful muzzle loading month for me. Scored a second CVA in .50 (a Bobcat) to go with my .54 (a Lynx), then started wondering what I was gonna do. Friend of a friend heard about my mutterings, and offered me a VERY generous offer. So off went the two CVAs, and the big brown truck of...

    wisdom vs. experience... or, today I learned...

    "The difference between wisdom and experience is that with experience, you learn from your mistakes. With wisdom, you learn from the mistakes of others." So... I've been doing an experiment. Since I have a princely $120 invested in my .54 rifle and since I've shot it with nothing but real...

    airgun pellets for MLs?

    Hit the outdoor store where I got my .54 on a deal (he didn't know anything about it, was just getting into pawn stuff too) to check out what else they had, and noticed they were heavy on PCP air rifles.... then noticed the pellets for said rifles at the ammo shelf. I was intrigued by the...

    Terminology/naming help please

    Really basic.... and stupid question. But we all have our moments right? Anyway... In general terms I know what a rifle is. Its got that long tube thing with grooves cut in it (or its been smashed around a twisted hexagon or other twisted polygonal shape). It takes a bullet and puts some...

    When I got my 1858 last year a buddy joked about hunting deer with it. I pointed out that it wasn't legal I don't think, but rifles...

    bad caps or hardware issue

    Hit the range today, took along both my known-good-for-nipple Remington #10s and the new CCI #11s I got a few days ago. The CCIs were nice and tight on the nipple, but when I drop the hammer on 'em I get no boom. Or pffft. Or anything but a "click". Remove cap, and it is empty of...
