2003年5月15日 · Interesting. I tested my new flintlock rifle for velocity and accuracy last week. I have a 36" Green mountain barrel with a 1/70 twist. Using a .490 ball with pillow ticking and Leigh Valley lube I got about 250 fps more velocity with the 3F loads. I got about the same difference (120-140) between 3F and 2F as you did. I was also using Goex.

2024年12月12日 · The .54 calibre is great elk medicine, that Trade Rifle harvested many deer and elk over the years. I still have my CVA, and he still has his Trade Rifle. My current hunting rifle is a custom .54 calibre 1820’s styled fullstock plains/mountain flintlock rifle. Dad shoots a custom .54 calibre flintlock styled after the U.S. Contract Rifle.

2004年5月10日 · A Jack Garner signed .54 flintlock rifle has come up for sale locally. I'm interested, but don't know too much about the value. The seller says he's owned it about 10 years and it is extremely accurate. It looks like a Leman style rifle and is signed J Garner on the barrel, so I assume this...

2004年7月2日 · Hello, I picked up my Caywood northwest trade gun Thursday. Went out and shot it a few times Saturday. I flinched bad! lol, Pulled it down most of the time. A friend of mine with lots of flintlock experience shot it great. Then I reluctantly took it to our club's monthly match Sunday. The guy I...

2024年12月16日 · I would definitely go with the southern mountain rifle in 40 or 45 cal. I have the 45 and love it. It is light, longer sight radius than the woodsrunner, very accurate and flat shooting and also requires less powder than larger calibers saving money and still hits the target hard enough so you can tell if it is a hit on steel.

2024年5月27日 · New guy here with my first response. Bought and assembled a Kibler Fowler to take out Fowling. After many percussion rifles and shotguns, it is my first flintlock. 3 trips out and it has performed above expectations. 26 shots and fired perfect. Been patterning it …

2020年11月2日 · I have both the caplock and flintlock. They where mostly kit gun that CVA imported but they did sell them complete. The locks where not great but can be worked over or replaced with a more reliable lock. They only sold them in 45 cal with a 1.48 twist so round ball is best shot threw them. The barrel's are good and accurate.

2007年11月10日 · Reminds me of when I bought a beautiful contemporary built flintlock long rifle. Didn’t buy it from the original builder but online off an auction site. Anyway, wanted remove the barrel to give it a good cleaning and wax the barrel channel of the stock and bottom of the barrel.

2014年3月7日 · flintlock rifle. I wore a poncho to keep both my rifle and me dry, my gun tucked under my arm so that my body could keep moisture out of the lock. My leather hat with the broad brim kept water out of the priming pan when I loaded it. 3. Use a vent pick to poke a channel in the main powder charge in the barrel.

2023年11月18日 · When done right, it it hard to beat. Anyway, I attached photos of my English rifle and my Edward Marshall rifle which are very similar to the Chambers offerings so you can see the potential and perhaps be inspired. The Chambers’ English Gentleman’s Sporting Rifle is a true work of art, perfect for anyone who appreciates historical firearms.
