    Miroku Kentucky Rifle

    I have been repairing/restoring an old Miroku the past couple of months. I know these rifles don’t garner a lot of respect but I have learned a lot from tinkering with it and learning techniques before I move on to more expensive rifles. I have sanded off excess wood, stripped and refinished the...

    Miroku Ultra-Hi Question

    Hello, Can anyone tell me why this rifle is up to the $400 mark on Gunbroker? I thought these rifles were at the lower end of the muzzleloader spectrum. It does have adjustable sights but I don’t see anything that would make me want to pay that much money for it. I think $200 is high. Maybe I’m...

    Barrel Browning Question

    Hello, If I decided to brown the barrel on a Traditions Kentucky kit can the case colored side plate and percussion lock components be browned using the same method? I don’t think it would look right to have a browned barrel and a newer looking lock/side plate. Just my personal preference...

    Miroku .45 Kentucky Rifle

    Hello, I had the winning bid on this rifle on gunbroker. I had a previous post here on another Miroku that had a rough bore and I passed on that one. This one is supposed to have an excellent bore and looks to be in good shape. It has either been shot very little or not at all. I should have...

    Traditions KY Rifle Build

    DIY Caps Question

    If you make your own percussion caps can you answer a few questions? 1. Are they corrosive? 2. If they are corrosive do they cause more wear on the nipples? The rifle nipple not yours. 3. Are they as hot as factory caps? 4. Are they reliable if done correctly? I thought about trying the...

    Fake Websites

    Hello, I am a new member here and I introduced myself in the new member section. I believe this has already been discussed but I am seeing more fake websites claiming to have stock on things we all know are hard to find. I think they are all being run by the same unscrupulous people under...

    New Member from NC

    Hello, I am new member here from North Carolina. I have a TC Hawken that I purchased a few years ago right before the Covid madness. The serial number is in the 20 thousands so I guess it’s from the mid to late 70s. I haven’t shot it but I plan to really soon. The bore is in great...
