    .62 Rifle Build, 2nd Try

    I despise a man with a clean shop

    Clarification and definitions please

    I would go as far as correcting the hammer face angle and depth of strike. Nothing so ouch as a defaced hammer and mushroomed nipples.

    Need help with caps

    Over time, I have followed the many issues to be found on many of the bp pistols being offered. I don't believe that we are being offered finally tuned products. From the prior discussions, you probably have some ill formed nipples. Either purchase some new nipples, maybe fix the issue or...

    Making Percussion Caps

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Brand new shooter and gun

    shoot it, shoot it, and shoot it some more till you get intimate with it and its intricates. But most of all learn its break down and assembly. BP revolvers are DIRTY shooters to put it mildly. Never store it for any amount of time without cleaning.

    Yadkin Valley Long Rifles

    I understand I appreciate your work with the kids and all you do. I had a great day, I didn't shoot the best but my son came with me and we shot just cause we could without pressure of trying for points. I love to shoot out to 100 yds but I don't see that well at that yardage. Just getting on...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    So I finally found out It’s the shooter not the rifle. I took my son with me to the monthly club shoot. He has shot my CVA kentucky maybe two dozen times in his life. Here is his second shot the day dead smack in the center at 100 yds.

    Caps ... where ?

    Small town in NC pretty much encompasses a pretty large area. If you have either sportsman's warehouse, academy sports or cabelas nearby even if not locally stocked you can have them delivered from nearby stores

    tuning up battered nipple cones

    Maybe, but if I understand stand correctly, if the cones are the correct height they won't get battered in the first place.
