Just received from Mr. Bill Travis. If she shoots half as good as she looks it is going to be a good year! Thanks Bill.
Working on posting pic….

nmhunter's new gat: Looks like a proper western rig to me and sporting good glass. Should make you feel good when you get behind it to hit an elk.

Out of curiosity, since you are going to shoot BP or a sub will you UBC the barrel? I ask because I do for that purpose.

the UBC might be a good idea but since I never shoot BP or subs I have no idea what to advise him to do. fill him in if you don't mind sir..
If I remember correctly it weighs slightly over 10 lbs as pictured. not a bad gun to tote around the NM mountains..........

Boy I would love to have a rifle like that.. What's the price tag if I was to get one set up just like yours with a black and grey stock?

the UBC might be a good idea but since I never shoot BP or subs I have no idea what to advise him to do. fill him in if you don't mind sir. I have only used UBC for two applications: blackpowder muzzleloaders and to "clean up" rougher barrels. I use it in sidlelock guns for two reasons: Green Mountain barrels are good but I do not believe they are finish lapped so UBC fills voids and because it rust-proofs the bore. In rougher barrels (whether a factory tube or one that is half-way to a set-back and re-chamber) there is rough spots and/or fire cracking; in these barrels I shoot Final Finish or TMS bullets depending on condition then fill in the voids with UBC. In a good barrel like his Brux the advantage is rust-proofing and easier clean up. I like not worrying about my bore growing a red beard during a hunt if I have had to discharge and field clean. The clean up becomes a snap though as fouling does not adhere to the ceramic like it does to the steel. Some may say it is snake oil but I am a believer for the two purposes listed.

Would this fall under Major Robert Roger's Standing Order #5?

So why wouldn't you use it on a smokelessml....?

Post by rambler on Aug 22, 2014 8:58:09 GMT -5
I would think the non corrosive properties of smokeless would make the use it, well useless.
I've never used it but it does look like cool stuff in any case, for a lot of applications.
