First shot with the NEW Goex!


I have a lot of problems I need to sort out! I have very little experience with this rifle. #1 mistake. Not sure what nipple I have in this, I'm thinking it's a Spitfire, but will double check while cleaning.


Once the barrel warms, she's hitting low left, then moving toward the center. Craziest thing I've experienced with an open sight rifle!


Once I get it apart I'll check the tang screw for tightness, then go from there.


The New Goex is super clean burning, very little smoke! Out in the day light, there does not seem to be much graphite, if any, in the powder.


All recovered patches were in excellent condition.


Dirty patch is after I lightly swabbed the bore after the 11th shot. I took a total of 12 today.


A lot to learn, especially with this new to me,rifle.


UPDATE: Found the tang screw was loose! I'll keep an eye in that. If it happens within a few shots, it will need to be bedded in epoxy.
