    Williams FP on Knight plunger type rifles.

    It's my understanding that the Williams FP peep sight when installed on Knight BOLT ACTION rifles requires some extra modifications to either the sight and/or bolt handle. What modifications are required for installation on Knight PLUNGER rifles? Namely a Wolverine. Thanks!

    New Knight Wolverine

    Interested in buying a new Knight Wolverine. Always sort of regretted not buying one years ago. Knight offers two models. One 209 and one #11/Musket cap. Knight seems to offer a conversion kit for #11 to 209 but not the other way around. Are the hammers that different between the two types of...

    Temptation lead me astray. New ML purchase.

    Been away from sidelocks for years. Had moved onto inlines. Problem is the darn inlines don't look good beside my two longbows on the rack! :D On a lark I called the Log Cabin Shop this morning and asked about current models being made and what was best for my needs at the price I was willing...

    Need help, any knowledgable Knight folks on here?

    Used to own a Knight Disc Extreme. Positively loved that rifle. I ruined the barrel during a nasty wet hunt because I was not able to clean it soon enough. So in the last couple or three years I've been searching for a replacement. Nothing really measures up to what that Knight was. Thought the...

    Will a laminated Omega stock fit a Northwest Explorer?

    Will a Northwest Explorer properly fit into a laminated wood Omega stock? Or is the Explorer just different enough that an Omega stock would not work?

    Horrible accuracy with 10ml-2.

    Brand new Savage 10ml-2. Blued with plastic stock. Purchased laminate stock from Savage and that is the stock I'm using. Have tried 40grs of AA 5744 with the short black MMP sabots and .452 250 non mag XTP's with Win 209 primers. Also tried 43grs of IMR SR4759 with the MMP HPH-12 sabots and .452...

    Question about .452 250gr non mag XTP.

    Just bought a new Savage ML 10 II. Plan on using low to moderate loads of smokeless powder. However I've noticed that Savage is set on Hornady .452 non mag XTP's, either the 250 or 300gr. I like XTP's however the non mag .45 cal XTP's are not designed to work at the higher velocities that the...

    Dixie Gun Works Black-Solve?

    Was given a new bottle of Black-Solve by a friend who is not shooting BP anymore. Marketed by Dixie Gun Works. It's 4oz of concentrate that you mix with 28oz of water. It's supposed to be good for cleaning bores, nipples, breechplugs, etc. He's never used this brand so he has no idea how good or...

    Sight options on a Huntsman?

    Can't make up my mind on which direction to go for my 50cal Huntsman- Has the factory Williams fiber optic sights on it now. Stick with them, or put a Williams peep sight on it, or a Nikon Omega 1.65x5x35 with the Nikoplex reticle (not the BDC). Shots for me are a mere few yards to 150 yards...

    Got the impossible question here.

    Weather is too nasty to chrono my .50 Huntsman. Sooooo....anyone have an idea as to the velocity of the following load- 2 50gr Pyro pellets Win 209 primer .430 (44 cal) 240gr XTP 26" barrel (but not all of that is usable due to long breech plug) And how many yards before the XTP's velocity...

    Any other decent ramrod besides Hubbards??????

    Called Metrics Unlimited today to order a 5/8" b.plug for my Huntsman. That was easy enough. But when I called Ben Hubbard to purchase a ramrod for my 26" barrel he said he's not making them right now as ....now get this.......CAN'T BUY THE NEEDED MATERIAL TO MAKE THE RODS!!!! He took down my...

    Quite mad at CVA.

    About had my fill with CVA. Here's why. A few months ago my truck was broken in to and my H-R Huntsman was stolen along with a few other items. After a few weeks I gave up on ever recovering my property so I bought a new CVA Optima with a camo stock and stainless steel fluted barrel. Must of...

    I need a black synthetic Huntsman ML fore-end.

    I posted this in the classifieds but I thought it would be seen more here. I NEED a black synthetic Huntsman ML fore-end. Choate claims they don't make them and Rem says a 30-45 day backorder and also says that they may never have them again. I begging here, I really need this fore-end. If...

    Metrics Unlimited plugs?

    I'm having a .50 Huntsman barrel from H-R fitted to a SB2 frame. Sent the frame off yesterday (before anyone tells me they are discontinued, well H-R does in fact have a few, CS just does not know it!). I've heard about this Metrics Unlimited plug that supposedly just about cures the blowback...

    Apex, yes, no, or maybe??

    Well I went looking for a 2010 Wolf or Optima today at the local shops. Did not find one but I looked at a couple of Apexs. Of course they are more exspensive than a Wolf however I like the idea of the centerfire barrel option. Does anyone own an Apex and multiple centerfire barrels? Is it...

    Are 2011 CVA's no longer coming with iron sights????

    Look at the 2011 catalog online. The Wolf, Optima, ect no longer come with iron sights? Only the two bolt guns do. That quite frankly sucks! I was finally going to purchase a Wolf or Optima and was NOT going to scope it! So much for that.

    New to the Savage, have questions.

    I've been shopping for a new ML for a few months now and have settled apon the Savage MLII. I really REALLY like the idea of the smokeless option. I will be buying a new laminate SS model. I know about the weight issue with the laminate and I'm fine with the heavy weight. Actually I prefer a...

    Lyman Break-away or Ruger bolt action ML???????

    Does anyone have ANY info on either the Ruger bolt action muzzleloader (not currently produced) or the Lyman Mustang Break-away muzzleloader (still produced)? And is the stock on the Lyman really wood? Says it's "enhanced walnut" whatever that is. Which is the better shooter?

    Great news from Knight!

    Just got off the phone with Knight to get a replacement barrel for my Extreme (my fault not the rifles! Rust). I asked the man about the new ownership of Knight and he told me that Green Mountain WILL be supplying the barrels! That is terrific news for us Knight lovers.

    The new CVA Optima?????

    I'm considering purchasing a new CVA Optima. A 2010 model to be exact. Has the 416 SS barrel (and frame???), new fangled CVA trigger, and the easy out breech plug. I had an older Optima 4 years ago. I was not a bad rifle but I liked my Knight better and sold the Optima. I have some questions-...
