Home run for you, good luck

slugged the bore. It's .451. A standard TC Maxiball is a nice tight fit. I'm hoping to get the ELR's to shoot out of this.

sorry about those upside down/sideways photos. This computer has a mind of its own.

Glad it worked out for you! I really like the Omega I got from the same seller.

Pull the firing pin bushing. If it's been fired at all that would be the place to look. NOBODY, well, almost nobody cleans there. It would be a good idea to take a look anyway.

Good point! The firing pin area is the only place I found any powder residue in my Omega. Otherwise it was almost spotless. There was one tiny place along the action where it attached to the barrel. The weathershield looked like rust was starting. I cleaned it up, put synthetic oil on it and so far looks good.

Everybody needs an Omega whether they know it or not

I hear ya, its a shame it won't fit on your Kodiak. I'm sorry I didn't see it earlier, or I'd have gotten it. It is very nice looking & I haven't seen that color of laminate in Boyds line up or Richards.

it took awhile but I was able to pull it apart last night. Not sure the screw had ever been removed. Zero residue found. I’m not going to say it’s never been shot but if it has it hasn’t been much. Either that or it was cleaned better than any muzzleloader I have ever held in my hands lol.

I think that boyds made one a long time ago. I found one on ebay about 10-12 years ago but never got it fitted to my kodiak at the time. Eventually sold the gun with it and the factory stock. The fit was so bad it very well could have been an Omega stock. I may have to see how close an Omega stock is to a Kodiak since ive go both guns now.

ok...so I bought the 7 packs of ELR's from my buddy Bendback in FL. Can anyone that has shot these give me an approximate place to start? I have 5 jugs of Blackhorn 209 itching to be opened....

If it was myself, I’d start with 80 grains (volume) of BH209.
