I have a TC Grey Hawk with 1:48" twist. It shoots Maxiballs and RB's with great accuracy to 50 yards and will reach out to 100, however most of my target shooting is 50 yards with either Pyrodex and...

I have read 1700 FPS as a rule of thumb. There was a good write up on plain base and alloy type on this site a ways back.

Are there any engraving and relief carving pattern books available? I have Peter Alenaders book, as well as Recreating the American Long rifle. They don’t have much in the way of patterns, my free...

I looked on Knob’s site. I will keep him in mind. I have a lot of TOW gift cards so I kinda need to wait for Track to get my stock. Hurry up and wait. Placed order back in January.

I like the Kibler kit, maybe next build.

Well I went with a TOW JP Beck. My barrel finally came in, found a Chambers large deluxe Siler at Muzzeleloaders Builders supply, still waiting on the extra fancy stock form Track, everything else...

I have a CZ .375. Not sure what the best load is, however I use RL 15 and from 250 -270 gn J words BTHP or soft point hornady bullets. I keep my charges light which keeps my shoulder happy. I have...

Finally got home from vacation and checked my Serial #, I am in the clear.

That’s good! Bought mine Mar 4th 2017 so thinking it was manufactured sometime before March 1st.

Are you serial numbers on this kit within the recall from Lyman? Just curious.

SOOO.....scraping two of my gourds resulted in them starting to turn into a raisn rendering them unusable for a canteen. Bummer! I have two left that I did not scrape and are just about dried, have...

I put 4 on op of my kitchen cuborads and the rest in my somewhat heated garage, trying to figure out which would be better. I may try scraping my two greenest ones to expedite drying.

Thanks for the tip. I have not scraped any of mine. Had one darn near dry by Late November, all the others started to turn about a month ago.ill post some pics today.

Thanks. I am looking at the 44" C Profile in either .50 or .54 cal, there is a Backorder on the .50 and a 90 day wait on the .54. The 42" B or C profile are all in stock. What would you all...

Thanks for the support. All my $$ is locked up in Track gift certificates so Track it is. I have heard that a swamped barrel is better balanced and or feels nicer to some. I like the look of the...

Iv'e been been keeping tabs on parts of two kits i am eyeballing. My extra fancy stock is a 3 month wait. I may just start collecting parts.

Been saving up for a Track kit for about a year now. Just about there. Can't really decide what I want....I like the lines of the Bucks County. I'm thinking 50 or 54 cal, either straight or...

I bought a new CZ .375 H&H about 10 years ago for no real reason other than wanting a big caliber and a bucket list dream of going to Africa some day. I bought detachable scope rings for it and also...

I thought about board type clamps to keep em flatter, however one of the gourd plants that grew in half shade is producing small diameter and "squatter" gourds than the plant in full sun....makes...

Can you elaborate on scraping? Just curious. Good tips!

I'm on the right side of the country so can offer little advice....if you can find it....Tred Barta did a self guided elk hunt with his long bow in Colorado. He gave a lot of good advice as to going...

Update on my Canteen Gourd trial this year. I had 2 out of 12 seeds make it, with a couple not even germinating. I started 2 mounds with 3 or 4 seeds in each outside after clipping and then soaking...
