Wish I had the money. That would be a perfect project to hasten my recovery. ><> del

I will look them up. I still have an extra stock that needs a barrel. Thanks for the tip!

I found another bobcat with a good barrel. It shoots great. Pawpaw would be proud! I hope anyway.

It was a gift from my grandmother. It hasn't seen the light of day in a long time. Thank you for your kind words though.

I was trying to remove the drum and I put too much on the wrench and twisted the drum off. I drilled it and put in an ease out and broke the ease out in it. I tried drill the eas...

Thanks for the reply. I also have a CVA bobcat that has the drum and threads cut out of it.i may try to convert that one as well

Oh, sorry. It has a drum.

It has a hooked breach

Hi guys, it has been a while since I have been on here. Health issues. I have a question. I have an opera unity to get a Springfield Hawken, .50 cal, percussion. I was thinking about converting it to a flintlock. How much trouble is it to do that and what do I need to do it? Looking forward to worki...

Well, I finally got it out!! I got enough powder stuffed down the breach and set it off! The ramrod went about a foot in the ground. I am so happy! Love this rifle. Now I have to try and find another .45 caliber ramrod. Thanks for all the help and support in this trying time. ><> del

I can grab the ramrod with vise grips but the ramrod is chewed up pretty bad. Got to find some way of getting it out

I have a T/C Hawken .45 cal. I was shooting a week or so back and after a shot, I ran a patch down the barrel. It stuck and I mean it stuck!! We managed to break the ramrod. I have tried shooting it out and no luck. I have soaked it with several different liquids and it is stuck. We tried using vise...

I am trying to find the right lock for my rifle now. Is Track of the wolf the best place to find a lock?

I am going to start using a patched round ball in my .45 T/C Hawken. Hope I can workup load for it. Ok, I bought some pillow ticking at Walmart to use as a patch. I washed it and dried it. What do y'all use as lube? Do y'all have a recipe? How do y'all get the lube into the patch? Rub it in or pour ...

Thank you sir. I am going to do some looking around and find a lock get ready to make it spark!

Yes Sir, it broke even with the barrel. Really makes me mad because it is the best most accurate shooting rifle I have. I am stuck shoting my T/C Hawken, .45 caliber How do I go about converting it it a flintlock? Could y'all recommend some good parts? I am getting excited. What kind of problems cou...

I have a .50 caliber CVA Bobcat percussion rifle. Like a silverback gorilla, I stripped and broke the drum off of the barrel. I didn't want to break it but I did. I need to get the rest of the drum out. It won't be a problem. I had an idea!! Scary huh. Can I convert the percussion ignition to a flin...

I have a question. Probably doesn't matter but what side do they go on? From left to right while looking down the barrel or right to left? I heard one time that they go left to right while looking down the barrel. Anyone have an opinion or can someone say for a fact one way or the other? Thanks. Del

Speaking of Jukar and CVA, I have a Jukar and a CVA Bobcat. I twisted the drum off of the bobcat today. I have to remove it and get another drum. The Jukar needs another drum as well as a nipple. I need a butt plate and pins for the Jukar too. I want a .50 or .54 long rifle.

Thank you sir for your reply. I shot it today with a PRB and 60 of pyrodex rs. At about 60 yards, hit a shoebox. I think I need at least 70 grains? What do y'all think? Thanks. Del

Sir, thank you very much for your reply. I have several rifles but I also have a Jukar long rifle in .45. I like the tv better but I want a good long rifle too

I just traded for a T/C Hawken in. 45 caliber. It is in real good condition and clean bore. I need to know a good starting point. I will be shooting Pyrodex RS. I cant find any real black powder around here. I will be trying to shoot round balls. I got some prelubbed patches from BPS. When I got hom...

I appreciate all the replies. I had this recepe somewhere but could not find it. Maybe I can get back into the blackpowder thing. Gonna make some smoke tomorrow!!! Thanks again ><> del

Thank you sir! I broke my neck 2 years ago and had to sell all my hunting gear to pay the bills. I am starting to acquire more smoke poles. Traded a trail cam for a cva bobcat. It was a mess. I stripped the stock and refinished it. It shoots where I point it though. I lapped the barrel and got some ...

Hello, I am happy to be back on here. I was on here several years ago with the name of "del". I couldn't remember my login so I re-registered. Sorry administrators, I would like my old registration if possible. Ok, can anyone give me the ingredients to "moose milk"? I can"t remember how to make it. ...
