  1. Powell Auction sold several max price was 230$ check their next fire arms auction.
  2. Last one...1994 Lyman GPR. found in a local gunshop. Total disaster. Most likely bought the day before BP deer season. Assembled and shot...no attempt to finish the kit. Was very cheap. Took a couple of weeks to make it look ok...still not happy with it.
  3. CVA Kentucky Hunter. one piece halfstock 50 cal 33.6" barrel. Capture pin wedges...can't lose them. Nosecap was rosewood... kept breaking. replaced with a brass cap. Those black lines are cracks one goes from wrist through the fancy brass.
  4. The pics for the kentucky hunter and the Great Plains are still too big and I 'm using a mac.
  5. I'm still trying to find the mountain rifle parts
  6. I have a CVA flintlock...I'll probably use it. I might use my Siler small flint lock.
  7. pics are too big...can't find a way to shrink 'em
  8. 1994 Lyman GPR, 1988 CVA Kentucky Hunter, CVA Mountain Rifle? Trying to do pictures...don't understand
  9. Thanks...I've been beside myself with worry
  10. Chert is american for flint…there's not one lick of difference in the geology.  All sorts of rock works.  Pretty much if it makes a  concoidial fracture, it'll spark.  Agate makes a different fracture…straighter and without the bulbous struck end but it sparks good.  Don't know if you've been to the shoots south of Murfreesboro, but the boulders in his front yard have chert nodules.
  11. One of the miracles of the world was a frizzen soled with a highly radioactive bit of metal from a scrapped reactor.  A fellow  bucksnorter had one on his .69.  Reached down and picked up a reasonably flat rock outta the streambed and stuck it in the cock…racked her back and produced a shower of sparks like you wouldn't believe.  He was holding the rifle like he was shooting at a target.  Sparks were snapping and bouncing ON THE GROUND!!  I want me one of those.
  12. You got it…no matter how you  crank it…a small flint will move back…get one big enough to stay put.  Have I mentioned I hate Auto Correct?  Got a chipping hammer?  I found a nifty little brass one in my bag…I wonder how long it's been in there.   As for my highly modified CVA Mountain Rifle…a made in USA by the way…I finally got my lock in place.  It was a percussion…now it's a flinter…well…it will be if I ever find the barrel
  13. ^ this…been there, done that.  Worse is having the cleaning jag either unscrew from the rod…disaster is when the cleaning jag and the rod end pull of the cleaning rod…been there…done that.  Waited until the patch dried…since I couldn't get it out…and pulled the nipple.  Stuffed a little…too much…powder behind the cleaning jag renippled and recapped.  I never did find it again.
  14.  Click…click….the cock.  (the deer is running at the first click)  Click (double set trigger...the deer picks up speed) Snap…spark…foof….(Large smoke cloud…the deer is booking!!)  Boom! (really big smoke cloud)  "Did I hit it?"  "Dunno…can't see.")   Or:   Click…click….the cock.  (the deer is running at the first click)  Click (double set trigger...the deer picks up speed) Snap…spark…foof…."umm…powder patch ball?"
