    T/C #7194 tang mounted peep sight

    I missed this one for sale on another site. Crazy expensive but much more compact than the Lyman 57 I have on my Deerstalker cap.

    Woodsrunner Ready for Fall

    Yesterday I took the Deerstalker to the range for the first time. First few groups were disappointing, even for a production 1-48" twist gun. While my old T/C Hawken likes a .495 ball and .015 patch, this likes a .490 and .020 patch. Better groups. Running around 1 1/2" at 50 yards. So try...

    They still worked...most of them

    Despite the rain, I finally went to the range to shoot my new-to-me Deerstalker caplock. I had been having trouble finding caps, but did find some CCI #11 at a LGS. In the bottom of my range box I found some old Remington in a tin along with a capper that still was mostly full. These had to be...

    Woodsrunner Ready for Fall

    That gun will shoot better. It just takes a bit of experimentation with charge and patch. My .54 flinters always seemed to like 90 grains of FFFg. T/C and Lyman Deerstalkers. Sometimes guns will prefer a .535 ball and .015 patch. Others, a .530 ball and .020 patch. Different patch lubes can...

    Please help to identify flintlock........Thanks!!!

    If it was mine, I would have a set of sights silver soldered onto it. What is the bore? .62 or .75?

    Steel shot?

    Here is where you need to go... https://www.ballisticproducts.com/Shot/departments/63/ You can always call them. When we had to go to steel shot, I found it horrible. Fast initially but due to light pellet weight it dropped off past 20 yards. And I had to go to larger shot size, which opened...

    WANTED WTB .510 RB mould

    That is an usual size. Might check with Buffalo Arms. Probably didn't want to spend that much.

    Newbie Question: Which side of the patch do I grease?

    Also, try different patch thicknesses. My Thompson Hawken flint likes a .495 ball and .015 patch. For many years I shot .54 with .530 ball and .020 patch. Have not yet been able to shoot my .50 Deerstalker cap, but we will have to see what it likes

    Newbie Question: Which side of the patch do I grease?

    I buy them pre-cut and pre-lubed. I guess it shows I am lazier than others.

    FFg in a .45

    I don't shoot FFG but if you have a stockpile, it is what I would shoot. . Maybe you can swap some for FFFg and try that. Even if the FFFg shoots better, I would just use the FFg for range and practice.

    Better off buying a gun?

    The price of a barrel and lock puts me at $499 before shipping and taxes. No savings but might be the only option. Or just keep shooting my old T/C Hawken

    What to do with pan primer?

    I have one of the spring lever priming flasks. Unfortunately FFFFg leaks out of it, a bit. I tapped the spout and use a small machine bolt in it. I have a pour spout on the can but keep it on another bench (left of the shooting bench), with the measure over the spout. The priming flask goes...

    PA Muzzleloader regs

    My early season "cheating" is going to extend to a caplock Deerstalker with Lyman 57 peep. Pure lead projectiles? California is screaming!

    Cleaning Frontier Firearms

    Proper maintenance of any tool is essential. Especially when you might only have one available, and replacement is far away. I would think that at least run a patch or two down the barrel up to the loaded chamber.
