    25 Years Later

    Finally finished a kit that I purchased and started 25+ years ago. It was an inexpensive Miroku made 45 Kentucky kit that someone had started to butcher. Turned out pretty nice but good God the trigger feels like a 40 lb pull...🤣 Inlays are purple heart, walnut, and olive burl. With this...

    Truoil/Armorall - Anybody tried this

    I saw an older post on a differant forum over the weekend. Looks like it was 10+ years old. Seems a guy accidentally applied original blend Armorall and Truoil to a stock he was refinishing. Not sure how that happens but... Apparently it vastly speeds up drying time and allows numerous coats...

    Thanks to Huntinshep

    Just a note saying thanks to member 'Huntinshep'. In today's day-and-age, I'm always leary sending money for a weapon sight unseen but Don (aka: Huntinshep) is a stand-up seller. My particular purchase experienced some damage at the hands of the shipper. Don worked with me to get to a mutually...

    Inletting Black

    Can this be made or where does one acquire it? Getting ready to inlet a brass buttplate on a Kentucky stock per another post I saw. All I can seem to find in Prussian blue and am afraid it might stain the stock wood. Thanks

    Bluing Touch Up

    Last weekend I changed the rear barrel mounted sight on one of my guns to a Skinner barrel mounted peep. This particular gun is blued. The bluing under the area covered by the factory sight was just slightly scratched and the Skinner sight doesn't quite cover the scratches. Anybody used...

    Derringer back from the dead. Completed.

    Well, almost three months later I finally finished the CVA/Jukar Derringer rehab of the badly butchered kit I found in my late father-in-laws stuff. Numerous inlays in an attempt to fix crooked or oversize holes, overcut insets, etc. and I fluted the barrel flats to get rid of the serial...

    Derringer Front Sight Install

    Hi guys, I'm working on a Derringer rehab and have a silly question... What's the easiest way to install the small front sight? Thought about tapping it in with a piece of oak dowel to avoid the top getting dented or flattened. Maybe an arbor press? I saw someone note these need soldered...

    Birchwood Casey Stock Stock Sheen & Conditioner

    Guys, I'm in my second go around with Tru-Oil on the Derringer stock I'm refinishing. I had about 5 coats on that were applied with a 1" foam brush. Even being sparing, runs developed and I was unsuccessful in smoothing them out with steel wool. With that, I stripped it down and have...

    Birchwood Casey Tru Oil question

    Morning, I'm using Tru-Oil for the first time on the Derringer stock I am rehabbing. I'm on coat #3 and having good results with it smoothing out after each coat dries. Planning on maybe 5-6 coats and using 0000 steel wool between coats. Question is, if I want a matte finish as opposed to the...

    Derringer back from the dead

    It's been 20+ years since I've played with black powder or built any firearms. I built quite a few many moons back. I found part of an old CVA Derringer in a box of parts that was my late father-in-laws after he passed. It was pretty beat up and had been sitting on my bench for about 3 years...

    Creative Ignition

    During the current period where percussion caps appear to be hard to find and unreasonably expensive. My curiosity has me wondering... Has anybody tried a spent cap with a roll cap (from a kids cap gun) or two simply inserted? Not sure if they would have the fire required for consistent...

    Stock and other parts for older CVA Kentucky Long Rifle

    Hi guys, New to the forum and just getting back into muzzleloaders. Anxious to shoot my TC .54 Hawken after being idle for 30+ years. I inherited a few older CVA rifles from my late father-in-law. One being a .54 Mountain Rifle. Another being .45 Kentucky Long Rifle. He completely...
