    “Pressurizing” the Ramrod

    Disregard, Y'all! B4 I posted this I did a search on this forum to identify any similar threads, but found none. After I posted it, I stumbled across Paul Vallandingham's post (#1046285)and discovered I'd been suckered! "Fool me once..." etc. Sorry if you wasted your time! Have a great day! Walt

    “Pressurizing” the Ramrod

    Howdy, Foax! A question about ramrod “seasoning,” if you please. I’ve long been given to understand that submerging a fresh hickory ramrod in coal oil for 12 months produces a rod that is unusually strong, highly flexible, and virtually impossible to break by bending. More than this, a rod (or...

    RFA: Assembly & Disassembly of Pedersoli’s Dixie Cub

    Primarily the lock mechanism, J.D. I want to ensure I've assembled it correctly.

    RFA: Assembly & Disassembly of Pedersoli’s Dixie Cub

    Sorry, Chief, the Cub is a flinter, and its frizzen spring complicates matters.

    RFA: Assembly & Disassembly of Pedersoli’s Dixie Cub

    Sorry, J.D., if I did not make myself clear. I've long since been to Pedersoli's website and VTI. An exploded firearms drawing is not what I'm looking for.

    RFA: Assembly & Disassembly of Pedersoli’s Dixie Cub

    Hi Mr. Flintlock! I'm trying to reassemble my son's Dixie Cub w/o screwing it up!

    RFA: Assembly & Disassembly of Pedersoli’s Dixie Cub

    Howdy, Foax! A few years since some helpful Silverback posted a photo essay on the assembly and disassembly of a double [set] trigger flintlock. (I believe it was Pedersoli’s Dixie Cub, though I am not certain.) As luck would have it, I am now in somewhat desperate need of that article and can...

    Rusting Brass?

    Hello the Camp! As y’all may see from the photo below, the patchbox of my flintlock has apparently developed cancer of the brass. I store it on wall hooks in a climate-controlled residence in the Southeast, all steel surfaces lubed or lightly coated with rust preventative. In order to diminish...

    How do y'all deal with a loose ramrod?

    Howdy, Foax. I've just replaced my flintlock's wooden ramrod with a synthetic one for the 2008 - 2009 hunting season, but I've somehow managed to retain an annoying characteristic: the tendency for the rod to stealthily slide out at the first, smallest opportunity. Do any of y'all Nimrods have a...

    Rust Prevention in the Rain

    Thanx and a tip of the tricorn to flintlock75, roundball, Zonie, & Paul V. In this election season, it’s mighty refreshing to receive gilt-edged, hand-tooled, good-sense advice, especially when it’s “right in the 10 ring” (and with photos, even)! :thumbsup: Good luck and good hunting! Walt

    Rust Prevention in the Rain

    Howdy, everyone! A hypothetical situation for the consideration of all y'all flintlock aces, and we most humbly beseech your generous guidance and reasoned opinions! It’s a hot and humid September day in the Great Sovereign Confederate State of Georgia. On this day the Coastal Plain is draped...

    "Primitive Weapons" v. Firearms Hunts

    Sorry, TG, I can't help you: I've never found a state-by-state breakdown, and all I know of various states' requirements is what I learned from the responses to this post. Regards, Walt

    "Primitive Weapons" v. Firearms Hunts

    Howdy agin, y’all. I’d asked if anyone was aware of a rationale for prohibiting primitive BP weapons during regular firearms deer season, and from your answers it would appear that no one knows of any. In any case, many thanx for the timely responses, and for those of you who wondered, it’s the...

    "Primitive Weapons" v. Firearms Hunts

    Howdy, y'all! Can anyone provide the rationale(s) as to why many state hunting regs allow BP weapons to be used only during primitive weapons seasons? I assume I understand why modern firearms are prohibited during scheduled PW hunts (safety), but I don't understand the reasons for disallowing...
