    it's a pedersoli kodiak .50 cal. both caps will shoot of the same type of nipple? i wasnt sure cause they have no.11 specific nipples.

    1:24" or 1:66"

    not yet, really needs to be done. there's hardly any room to work the nipple wrench with that thing on. plus it just doesnt look right.

    1:24" or 1:66"

    i was reading on the pedersoli website that their .50 double rifle is 1:24". the guy at the shop said 1:66". obviously im going to have to go back and clarify with him, but if it is 1:24", what kind of projectiles are ideal?

    Ballistics?

    what kind of ballistics can you expect with a .49 ball n patch with 70 grs of black powder? not terribly important, just curious. i dont plan on making long shots or hunting anything but deer and hogs.

    bought a used double rifle, i have some questions

    this one's supposed to be 1 in 60", but the guy said he was shooting .49 rb in plastic sabots out of it. i plan to try patch n ball first off. there's no stamps on the barrels, other than "made in italy".

    bought a used double rifle, i have some questions

    turned out to be a false alarm. full of powder gunk. soaked it and poked it. clean as a whistle now. it came with this mickey mouse scope mount job though. probably why it was such a deal. the scope mount is brazed on, so one of my goals is to have that removed and express sights put on. i...

    bought a used double rifle, i have some questions

    thanks everybody. i stuck the ram rod down each barrel. the ramrod goes the same distance down each barrel. there's about 1 1/2" of ramrod sticking out of the barrel, when pushed all the way down. it feels kind of like it's hittin something soft in each one. i'll give the solvent a go, see how...

    i bought a used .50 cal pedersoli double rifle. it seemed like a sweet deal, but now im not sure. i got it from the local gunshop, been talking to the owner for a month about it. took it home today, and when i took the nipples off it was clogged with black wet gunk, both of em. i poked em...
