    My "Ugly Duckling" Renegade

    It was an old CVA branded peep sight. I found it hanging on a rack of MZ supplies in a sporting good store in Pierre, South Dakota. The package was yellowed, dusty, and curled up. It looked like it had been hanging there for decades. Two drilled and tapped holes and it was installed. I...

    Mink Oil

    TOW mink oil is all I ever use.

    Kibler SMR mysteries

    I swab with a patch or two saturated with rubbing alchohol. Then I dry the bore with at least two dry patches. The alchohol tends to dry out very quickly on its own but I feel better using dry patches to make sure the bore is dry. This has never given me any problems and I might add I only do...

    Hunting patch

    t I always use Track of the Wolf mink oil for patch lubrication. They claim it doesn't freeze and deer season in South Dakota can mean temperatures below zero. I cannot say for sure about other products but I have read some shooters claim that some of the other patch lubes turn rock like in...

    Bad Shot Leaves a Hard Tracking Job

    I love those Boykin Spaniels. They all seem to be good hunters and have an "attitude" as well.

    My "Ugly Duckling" Renegade

    I bought a 50 cal TC Renegade off gunbroker.com. I was pleasently surprised to find it in extremely good shape when it arrived. However, the stock had been replaced and was a poor fit to the barrel. Acraglas fixed that and now the barrel is perfectly mated to the stock. I have never been...

    Don't Carve That Stock!

    The rest of us crabby old men appreciate your efforts. Keep up the good work.

    Did the unthinkable to my GPR but I love it!

    It is your rifle and if you like it, that is all that matters. In my personal opinion the omission of the forend cap, and not having a rib under the barrel in front of the stock up to the rear ramrod thimble gives the rifle an "odd" look. Just my personal opinion and worth what I am charging...

    Looks like i got burned

    $50 a pound sounds pretty darn reasonable to me. If I really figured it out, I am afraid it would be a lot more-and frankly the only way I like venison is when I can it in a pressure cooker with beef bullion and onions and then it tastes like beef.

    To tack or not to tack, that is the question…

    I don't see the problem so many people appear to have with putting decorative tacks on a ML rifle. If you like them, apply them and if they don't do anything for you, then don't use them. I have attached a couple of photos of tack applications I have used on uzzleloaders I build or remodeled...

    What is your preferred brand of #11 percussion caps

    CCI Magnum is my choice.

    musket caps available

    Expensive-naw. You can get tins of 100 #10 caps for "only" $50.00 a tin but you have to buy three tins to get this "good" price.

    Let's see your Belt or Rifleman's knife

    The first picture belowI is the first knife my teenage grandson forged and finished. I think he has potential. The other photos are knives that I finished and put handles on. I buy the blades off ebay or from knife supply sources and modify them as I see fit and make the handles from various...

    I bought the best caps ever made.

    I can't believe you people are complaining about $20 for a hundred caps. Look what I found on Gunbroker.com. Only $150 for 3 tins (300) of CCI caps. If you want 6 tins (600 caps), he has an offer for only $300. Get them while they are cheap. He is offering both #10 and #11 caps...

    #10 Percussion Caps

    Here are some. This is absolutely insane. These are offered on sale on Gunbroker.com. The party offering these for sale has several of these ads for the same price. He has #10 and #11 caps for sale for the bargain price of $50.00 per tin of 100. Now I realize they are very hard to find but...

    Lyman Great Plains

    I would definitely take the wood down instead of trying to raise the metal parts. Trying to raise the metal to the wood level is, in my humble opinion, just asking for trouble!
