    Swiss powder

    A lot of information! Thanks again for all the help. I have not shot the musket yet, still gathering info at the moment...and learning how to cast the correct bullet. I plan on using the N-SSA Hodgdon bullet for target shooting. I have been told it will weigh around 420gr. After I get the hang...

    Swiss powder

    Can the same amount of Swiss powder be used as when using Goex or does the Swiss charge need to be dropped down? (FFg and FFFg)

    My 5 year old son shot HIS .32 today

    Good for you, Blackfoot! Nothing like getting your child into their first time shooting. I'm sure you both had a great time and will be remembered by you all for many years...more than not, a lifetime.

    I have the hammer "adjusted" and it is close to center on the nipple. Thanks for your help Paulvalandigham.

    Thank You! I will see what I can here. My tanks are empty so heating may be a problem unless propane will work...I shall see. Thanks again for the help on all of this. Hammer seems pretty tight on the 'tumbler', if my breakdown from Armi is correct.

    There is not enough metal on the hammer skirt to to give enough clearance. I will need to heat and bend. One more question..how the heck do I get the hammer off? I removed the screw but the hammer won't come off with simple tapping and prying. I'm trying to be easy with it.

    1862 C.S. Richmond (Armi)

    I may have a problem here and perhaps the reason the man traded the musket off. The hammer is not centered over the nipple. In fact, the hammer just touches the right side of the nipple. I put a small cardboard strip over the nipple and pulled the trigger and there is a complete circle of the...

    Thanks to all of you for the great information...and background of the original musket. I should have my hands on it in about an hour when I make the trade.

    I'll give it a try over there but, I think I may be tossed out quickly.

    1862 C.S. Richmond (Armi)

    I have ran a bunch of searches here and can't find any info on the C.S. Richmond. Any of you folks have one or perhaps had one that you would like to comment on? I made a trade for one but have not got the rifle yet. All I know is it will be a replica by Armi-Sports and the basic facts I can...
