    Mortimer Rifle

    I guess I was lucky in buying mine so long ago. I bought the rifle in 1992 and the only thing Ive done to it was to drill out the ramrod hole and make a rod for it. I dont remember exactly, but I think I paid $675 for it from Navy Arms. Even at that time I would estimate that if you paid a...

    Mortimer Rifle

    Tanstaafl, I only know four people who own these rifles, but I have talked to about a dozen and to a man everyone has had nothing but good to say about the Pedersoli Mortimer. What was the problem with yours? Just curious because this is the first time Ive heard anyone speak poorly of them.

    Mortimer Rifle

    I have one of these fine rifles as well, and its a piece of work. I believe that H.G. Mortimer was armorer to the english crown in the early to mid 19th century. Ive only seen two reproductions of Mortimer rifles, the one Pedersoli makes, and there was a rifle on the cover of American...

    Hey Bill, I didnt know you were a cybercat! Hey to all yall. I shot that deer with a mauser 338/06, thats one of them buttloaders yall may have seen? I doubt if they will last though, just a passing fad I think. I shot this one with my Harpers Ferry rifle. Them .54 balls will knock...

    Touch hole liner savvy

    Bill, I make my own out of stainless threaded rod. Cone the inside and outside and cut a screw slot. The bore of my liners is only about .015 to .020" so they wear out pretty fast, (about 1200-1500shots). I drill them with a 1/16" drill and when they get to about .075 I replace. Ive seen...

    Liner removal

    Last time I took a stuck one out I soaked it for about two days in penetrating oil, stop up the hole with a toothpick or something and squirt enough down the bore to cover the vent liner. Then use heat and ease out. I make my vent liners out of ss threaded rod, and cut a screw slot before...

    Nuther Ga. boy

    I see a couple of other guys here from Ga. I must know yall??? I was at the Lenox match and just got through with the Griffin two day shoot. I'm mainly interested in shooting flintlocks and am a very untalented and casual builder. If it burns powder, I like it. Even the exploding pipe bomb...
