    Nipple replacement

    My new to me Deerstalker has the original nipple. It shows its wear. A bit of flattening. What is a good replacement? How do the stainless-steel nipples hold up?

    How clean is your bore?

    I bought a chamber scraper due to getting a new to me Deerstalker. I use Bore Tech Black Powder cleaner. It is the best that I have tried. The combo pulled a lot of junk pout of the bore and chamber.

    CCI and RWS Caps

    I bought a new deer rifle, to add to the too many I already have. When I went to do the transfer, I found the shop finally had CCI #11 in stock. $12 plus tax. Still cheaper than the hour drive to the ML shop.

    Better off buying a gun?

    I did post for a Deerstalker flintlock. If nothing shows up, I have an older T/C Hawken that easily fills my needs.

    Better off buying a gun?

    I have not had any luck finding a Deerstalker in .50 flinock. I started looking at a barrel and lock to just use on my Caprock version. Prices for parts are more expensive than the whole gun. I guess the market for these is tight.

    FOR SALE Buffalo Hunter $550 shipped

    Interesting that the trigger guard has the hole for a sling swivel.

    Unplugging patent breech? Loaded rifle…

    Silent ball discharger. They use a CO2 cartridge. I use them in hunting season after a day in the woods. I can empty the gun without having to shoot out the ball and charge. And the gun is still relatively clean.

    Lyman sights?

    For some reason Lyman cuts their dovetail blanks at .340" instead of the standard 3/8". Do you have new dovetails cut or file away at the 3/8" dovetail of replacement sights? Even if I get the Lyman 57MSL peep, I will likely need to go to a higher front sight.

    H & R Springfield Stalker

    A ML that tries to look like a Springfield carbine.

    Track of the Wolf

    My closest ML shop is an hour away. To make the trip worthwhile I try to pick up a few when I go there for anything else. Currently looking for #11 caps and it seems these will require a trip, so I plan on picking up a few more.

    Lyman 57SML vs 57GPR?

    So what is the difference? It looks like they have different angles on the tang. What am I missing? There has to be a reason for two different models.

    Ebay has them as well. I was hoping for a used one.

    load question

    I shoot FFFg Goex in my .50 cal flint. I also shot it in the several .54 cal guns that I have owned. Pyrodex is harder to ignite, and I never found the need for it. Cleaner and faster. An old Lyman book shows they achieved same velocity with 70 grains of FFFg as they did with 90 grains of FFg...

    Converting to musket caps?

    I know that nipples are available to convert standard cap to musket cap. But I have seen reports where shooters had trouble with ignition due to the face of the hammer being recessed. What has been your experience?

    A Tale of Two 1861 Enfield Musketoons

    I had one years ago and gave up on it as I couldn't get it to shoot accurately with any Minnie, only patched round ball.

    T/C 15/16" barrel

    You probably won't get him to answer, but Bob Hoyt would know. He is crazy busy so phone calls are often not answered for days
