Building Muzzleloader

[Djacker]

Were you able to do this diy or did it require a gunsmith?

@treillw did you pursue this project?

I did it all myself. You'll need a vise, action wrench and go, no go gauges. Probably cheaper to have a smith spin it together if you don't have the tools.

What did you use for a go, no go gauge. Think I used blue painters tape on a module to set mine, but it’s a bit tight

I bought the gauges from Arrowhead Rifles.

I bought a prefit from arrowhead and used a remington 700 action I had laying around. I used a grayboe Phoenix stock. It works great, no complaints. I shoot arrowhead nsr 275 grain bullets.

Question, what do you have to do to the bolt face to ensure proper ignitions?

Nothing. The primer modules are basically a replica of a std casehead. The come in std and mag diameters to match whichever boltface you have.

And if you have a plunger style ejector it needs taken out
