Check out Gunadapteres.com. It is the site for ShortLane Chamber inserts etc. They have the Black Powder insert!
I had a Black Powder .36 caliber Kentucky Long Rifle it was extremely accurate and I killed a few deer with that rifle.

Thanks, I imagine yoou would do Ok, but at 71 I am not certain how long I could last strictly from a health standpoint. I grew up in Penna., outside the Phils area, and my Grandparents lived their entire life in Bradford, Pa, known as the "Icebox of Penna!." Tough country with steep hills, thick woods & brutal winters. Hunting there was demanding with deep snow and often sub zero temps. my Grandfather was a Professional Guide and PH who hunted around the world, all 4 Continents, in the late 50's through the 70's! He used to supply film to Marlin Perkins old Mutual of Omaha series. My brother and I learned from a vey early age about hunting and surviving in the "bush". I appreciate the invite, and will try and take you up on that.
I am in my 60's and I think I could survive or teach others to survive, as a boy I attended outward bound in Rock Island Maine which was a survival/confidence building School of sorts that school served me well in the U.S.Army where I attended SERE School and has served me well for many years I am no spring chicken now but many youngsters would find it hard to keep up with me in the forest. Marlin Perkins, I think I watched every one of his Mutual of Omaha series.

DID my time in the Marines. Had a draft number of 23, so I was going one way or the other. Went through OCS,84th Class and served Overseas in 72-73 (Nam) with a force of Brits, Aussies and NZ's as a liaison officer comparing techniques and weapons etc. Because of that posting I was asked to join the govt, and I spent time with DOD,DIA,DSE,SPB in Europe taking out the "trash". I worked almost exclusively in urban settings. So my "woods" skills are only what I learned growing up and in the service. When they closed those "programs" I went into the Business sector. I've been married (4) times. Tough to have a decent relationship when you can't share anything you do. The last one worked out and we have been together 28 years. Finally got it right! I would love to keep learning and I am open to you showing me the ropes. I have cleaned a deer and that is about it. It all sounds very interesting.

Your skin and gut a hog like you do a deer but several glands must be removed so the meat will not taste bad and large boars must be castrated quickly after killing them.

After swapping stocks on the Ruger PC 9 Carbine to the Magpul Backpacker Stock the rifle maintained the same zero as the Ruger Factory Stock .

I purchased the Primary Arms Classic Series 6x32mm Rifle Scope - ACSS-22LR.

The ACSS 22LR reticle increases the first hit ratio and decreases time on target and is specifically designed for range clays, cans, bottles, and more. With the included manual, you will be able to fully utilize the ranging features and bullet drop compensation in no time. Like most of our products, this tough scope features a lifetime warranty. This magnified 22 scope is designed to last and continue working alongside your .22 caliber rifle for many years to come.

Phoenix ended as I got active in 72 due to Congressional oversight, but had residual work for a while under the radar. The program like most started with good intentions and then was used & abused by the SVA to settle personal vendettas. Blue Light required specific skills, experience & mos I did not possess, nor would it have been my choice! I spent minimal time in combat theatres and only once or twice were there was real combat going on. I did not miss it.

I hear Ya, Brother after two combat tours of duty, I don't miss it either, but I never felt more alive, but I was Young then. If you want to go hunting someday call me, I could put you on Some Hogs or Coyotes in Aiken near Jackson off Hwy 278. I have about 80 acres that boarders SRS to hunt on the owner wants me to kill off the Coyotes and Hogs and so far, it has been a target rich environment this boarder 500 Acres of County Property I am contracted on to eradicate Hog & Coyotes on. I have a Team of 5 that volunteers all seniors but one, all combat veterans but one. They Range from 80- 45 years old we are all real outdoors men with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Our oldest most of us can't keep up with him he walks us to death looking for sign and setting up on the target. Our youngest is from PA, he travels down about 4 times a year he was a Navy Corp man he like to Hunt the Hogs, but he is a damn good shot he hand loads ammo in fact I have two more that handload. Yesterday I was out with the 12 Gauge Shotgun 6 shot semi auto with buck shot as I run the Hogs out of their bedding area in thick brush and its good out to 50 Yards
