I think I am going to leave it right there. 50 yards and that Tom A Hawk peep sight makes all the difference in the world with that Traditions Mountain rifle after I rebuilt...

I’m going to be just out of Wealder on the east side of the state. Most of the ones I’ve gotten in the past are between 150 and 220. I’ve seen a few monsters but just couldn’t get a shot on them....

This photo was taken this past April on my last trip to Texas. I blasted this one with the 1847 Uberti Walker at around 30 yds as it came up on the pond bank for a drink. The 210 gr...

I’m guessing just a bad flint. I have killed several bushel baskets full of squirrels and a lot of general target shooting, with that rifle in the year since I have built it. Since that happened...

I haven’t weighed mine yet, but it is not as Heavy as my 36 cal Hawken coming in at a hair over 10 lbs. I’m guessing it weighs 7.5 -8 pounds, and with a 100 gr charge it will make you stand up and...

It’s all good here Chief. I did get to shoot it some yesterday but I forgot what my fiend told me his load was so I was just messing around with a .530 ball and a .013 patch and it shot well enough...

I voted the 10mm because I own one but I also have a P220 converted to 45 Super. The 45 super pushes a 185 gr JHP at a hair over 1309 FPS (actual chronographed speed) and the 10 mm pushes a 1312...

There is no doubt that this is a true fact. I’ve never been burned by someone from the black powder community, and very few from the firearms community in general, and that was partially my fault...

The Tom A Hawk sight works perfectly. 1 for 2 the second squirrel came running down a big limb with a hickory nut in his mouth, I was aiming at the nut figuring to hit him in the head....

That’s the problem these days. I blame the parents!

Oh I am very familiar with knapping my own arrowheads, atlatl points, and blades, and being 90% finished and have it break. I have this friend who was an archeologist and he called me one evening...

I was out with my 36 and the Tom A Hawk sight blasting away at the squirrel target yesterday, and I had a misfire. It really threw me for a loop because on that rifle it never fails to...

I have no idea the size. It is about the same as you would find on a military rifle. I put the final touches to zeroing it last night and love it. I have this self resetting squirrel target on my...

2 groove rifling does shoot cast extremely well as does 4 groove. More meat for the soft lead to hang on to.

You did a great job cleaning that up.

I have an old CVA Hawken flintlock with both a 50 and a 54 barrel. I’m looking forward to smacking a whitetail with it this fall unless I absolutely fall in love with this Lyman GPR.

Sorry to hear about your health. I have knapped my own gun flints, hunting broadheads, and knife blades for many years. I’ve made gunflints both ways like the Natives used to for their trade guns,...

I really wanted that rifle and was worried he would get impatient waiting, but he assured me that it was mine. I’ve seen some of the groups that rifle shoots and it being a 54 would not hesitate to...

Thanks Hamish! I forgot to post the link.

Question for you smart guys out there. As many of you know I have been fighting with that Traditions Mountain Rifle I bought new about 4 months back. I fixed the barrel walking issues with...

I just purchased this from a friend down in Arkansas. I bought the Traditions Mountain rifle because I couldn’t find a GPR. After complaining about all the problems I had to correct and am still...

I thought it was about optics time for my 36 cal as the sights on it were horrible. Then I heard about and purchased a Tom A Hawk folding rear peep sight and that seems to be a godsend. I like it so...

Crappy lock is spot on and all Spanish and some Italian made locks are Garbage. So far the only decent lock on an over the counter new gun is the Pedersoli, and even some of them have issues. For a...

I knapp my own flints in the fashion that the Native Americans made theirs. My favorite material is heat treated porcelain novaculite out of Arkansas. It works easy stays sharp a long time, doesn’t...

Yes that is odd. Before I found Ballistol I used WD40 on my patches for my final swabbings. It it is largely made of fish oil so it doesn’t cause the petroleum issues as much as other drying...
