I did get to shoot it the other evening. Ignition seemed slow / delayed compared to my rifle. Using the smallest flash hole, I should be able to go a size bigger. If that doesn't help, I will try to...

Thanks for the compliment! It was certainly fun recreating an old technology. I hope I never have to rely on it exclusively, my reloading time is horrendous. So much so that when I hunt with my...

I've been wanting an inexpensive flintlock pistol to shoot. I have two Jukar Colonial Caplock Pistol kits set back for a rainy day, then came across a 3rd set of incomplete parts for a very fair...

Thanks for the compliments gentlemen!

I have plenty of house wrap, but seems to me landscape fabric may work better under the bench since it will let water out.

Good idea.

We've been remodeling our house. Decided to build a nice porch, will a little planning I just so happened to have enough matterial "left over" to build a shooting bench. 44" wide at the front, 16"...

I've made the conversion using Lyman flintlocks in a T/C stock. The Gun Works Sells Lyman / Interarms locks, unfortunately they recently increased their prices.

Never thought about Numrich selling presses. Interesting...I'll check out the ARTCA forum. Thanks!

I watched his video on restoring a K98, pretty amazing stuff.

The die bodies and blued parts turned out great. Thanks for the pics showing the end product.

I have plenty of sandpaper and carburetor cleaner on hand. Thank you.

I picked up some reloading equipment at an auction. Some of the items have oxidation, what is the best way to clean the oxidation so I can paint / restore them? I've read that white vinegar, lemon...

Looking for some kind folks to help identify a somewhat unique press. The press has no markings that I can see, it has a green hammer tone finish. The case stays still during operation and the die...

An info book like that, but different cover came in the box with my Renegade from the early 90's. I was luck enough to get some T/C promotional stuff in a lot of books at the auction last year. I...

Shoot me a PM if you decide to sell the cans.

I believe Thumbcocker had a similar use in mind for his lanyard ring. I just think they look nifty and wanted the challenge of making it. May have to give that neck sling a try though, sounds quite...

This project started out as do you think we can do it? Then quickly went on to maybe we should do it? Followed by an epic fail then on to success.

Thumbcocker and I worked in the same building...

Congratulations Mrs. Thumbcocker!

I was at a Pre-98 & Muzzleloading show this weekend, one fellow had RWS and CCI percussion caps, but was rather pricey on both. He claimed Remington under new ownership has stopped production of...

I have purchased a couple of these auction muzzleloaders over the last year. One simply needed the trigger shimmed down to function properly as the hammer (cock) wouldn't stay back in the cocked...

FYI to all folks considering reusing a factory T/C breech plug on a Green Mountain barrel. Many of the factory T/C barrels use 11/16 x 20 tpi breech plugs, where as GM uses 3/4 x 16 tpi breech plugs.

While traveling through Tennessee last summer, my wife and I stopped by Dixie Gunworks. I picked up a GM 58 caliber T/C replacement barrel in the scratch and dent isle. It was new unfired condition,...

^^^ My Dad's preferred method as well.

A good friend of mine bought a CVA Wolf for his daughter. I'm not sure the scope or load they use, but she consistently takes deer with it.

Like mentioned before Wilson Electronics is the way to go. We had a low line model from zBoost (now owned by Wilson) and it simply didn't work as well. We sent it back and had to pay some more for...
