    Found a gem!

    Bought this about a month ago and love it. Nice handling rifle and a sweet shooter the first time out to the range. Ardesa Mountain Rifle .54 1:66 twist. Walnut stock. Still getting used to the bluing, but I can live with it for now. I did update the sights to a more traditional set up.

    Girlfriend spoiled me

    Sure did!! The gamo scope crapped out after 20 shots. Wouldn't track. Put a 4x32 simmons on and at 25 yards, shots will touch. Eurasian dove victim #2. These suckers are huge and offer a ton of breast meat.

    Introduced a new feller to muzzleloading

    The other week, I took my girlfriends sister in laws, step dad out shooting. He never shot a muzzleloader, pretty new to hunting and I decided to take him out and introduce him to the flintlock. This was his second shot and he kept getting better and better the more we shot. Traditions...

    Girlfriend spoiled me

    Cleaned the bore out yesterday. Only took 4 patches and she was spotless of grease. Hope to get some pics later today before the wind moves in.

    Girlfriend spoiled me

    Took me by completely surprise, shocked me to the soul. Not only did she buy me a .22 air gun so I can hunt the town eurasian dove, but she knocked my socks off with a traditions buckstalker! I've always wanted to try one out and it's a pretty nice muzzy. I'll be loading it with gearhart...

    Thor bullet results in elk camp CO

    15lbs seating pressure if what they used to recommend. When I shot them, I seated them with 2 thumbs over the ramrod. They dont need to be extremely tight, just enough to hold them in place.

    A little Hawken work

    I picked this up many many months ago and did a little more work on it yesterday. This is an ultra rare factory walnut stock from the early 80's during their first few years. CVA pretty much used beechwood, BUT, those early years, they had a limited supply of walnut , and I got super lucky and...

    Flintlock Question

    I'll show you tomorrow when I can log onto my computer. Breech plugs were defective and snapping off.

    Flintlock Question

    not directly, but it was pretty obvious. Investarm renamed the great plains rifle as the gemmer hawken to make up for the loss. Lyman did state that they washed their hands in the firearms sector. Too much risk for them once all those barrels came out defective. I have worked with one investarm...
