    Lyman Deer Stalker

    My son has this Lyman deer stalker and wants to switch to a full bore lead like the tc maxi ball. The tc maxi balls fit rather loose. Does anyone know of a slightly larger maxi being produced and sold.

    Lyman Deerstalker Barrel

    I have been looking locally and online for a while for a drop in replacement barrel for a Lyman deer stalker left hand flintlock in 1:28 to no avail. One local dealer said he could retrofit a TC barrel to fit but the cost would be close to $500 till he is done as the hooked breech needs...

    I shoot a lot of sabots out of my Knight bighorn. Now I am not saying that I have a huge problem with plastic buildup but would occasionally like to scrub it with something that works on plastic fouling. I use or have used Wipeout, Hoppes elite foam, birchwood Casey's bore blaster and even...

    Do They Gobble in the Fall

    Till this September I would have said yes but very infrequently and very softly at best. I was in Kansas for their Sept muzzleloader hunt several weeks ago. This particular morning I arrived at my tree stand in the predawn darkness. As it became lighter I realized a storm was approaching...

    The Mighty Knighty speaks

    Sorry I don't have the pics but maybe in a few days I'll have some. I traveled from PA to Kansas this Sept in search of one of their big whitetails. I left here on the 8th of Sept so I could take advantage of the high gas prices caused by Katrina. Well the buck never showed up but a really...
