    Flintlock Question

    ehhhh, i dunno gents. If lyman/investarm was such quality, investarm wouldnt have had a recall of 20,000 barrels, which caused lyman to drop the product from their line up. Ive had my share of lyman guns over the years and they had their issues just as everything else.

    Flintlock Question

    I'd suggest looking at the hawken woodsman. The PA pellet is a good rifle, it still sucks with pellets obviously, but the hawken with its wood stock, steel sights and double set triggers, would a much better set up.

    Best Substitute for Blackhorn 209? New rifle cannot find BH209

    Real black would be my choice. T7 is running $40 @ bigr locally. Can get better black powder for $25 a lb.

    Anyone dress as traditionally as their muzzleloader?

    Yep! Best way for me to hunt. It makes you feel connected much more deeply.

    New Mexico officially bans scopes

    In new mexico, that's what it's all about. They took smokeless powder out of muzzleloading season and now scopes. It was getting too easy. I hunt northern nm now and then, mostly with family and the amount of animals puts Colorado to shame imo.

    his is what happens when the modern industry touts 500- 600 - 800 yard shots with scoped muzzle loaders. https://nmwildlife.org/nm-state-game-commission-bans-scopes-on-muzzleloaders/

    Fowling shots and barrel corrosion

    If you need to fire 6 rounds before you gun is accurate, I'd find a new load.

    First loader

    CVA Optima. They haven't redesigned it in years and it's a solid piece.

    Another cool find!

    I picked this up last night for under 2 bucks! I'm going to laugh if the inside of the can is as rusty as the outside lo.

    Another cool find!

    I thought I hit the jackpot a while back when i found prelubed patches with Lube 103. Then, last week, I really hit the jack pot! Brand new, unopened container of Lube 103. Smells like baby powder. I read that its pretty much chap stick, but still a cool little piece to collect and put on the...

    Muzzleloader Newbie Question - Load

    I personally would not shoot an elk with 120gr and the 338gr platinium. The 338 is a good strong bullet for a powerbelt, but i'd limit it to around 110gr volume.

    CVA Optima Breech Plug Broke X 2

    First, you need to stop buying breech plugs and shooting it. Contact CVA right away. I see the " good " ( and i use that word loosely " is extremely caved inward. To me, i'd suspect the breech plug seat in the barrel is defective. Get in touch with CVA right away and they'll give you a new...

    Faux fiddle back

    Normally I use a number of q tips and paint brushes to do a faux finish, but while i was at the store i noticed the minwax stain pens. Gave is a try and wow! So much easier! Before the stain pen completely dried ( 30 - 40 minutes ) I gently wiped down the faux fiddleback with a soft rag wet...
