    Makes it easier to remove the cap if it sticks to the hammer?

    Deer Stalker on the way...

    The Lyman is the way to go, but I just can't afford a new one. Used ones are just not to be found right now. I had tried to buy a gun with one on it but the bidding went too high. Peep is much easier for my eyes to see.

    Deer Stalker on the way...

    I am scheduled to meet a guy on Saturday to pick up a Deerstalker in .50 cal, cap. Finding caps in my area is a pain. I know some guys found them at Walmart, but the ones near me are not carrying them. Might have to make the hour drive to a good ML shop. But maybe he will have a better rear...

    Hard to find flintlock

    Eric, I like that. I have trouble with the little bump sights on my Trapdoor carbine and Sharps. I have to put on reading glasses to see the rear sight.

    Hoyt Rebore

    He has done single shots. I had two done. One was a Springfield 1871 rolling block that someone had reamed out the chamber to fire 28-gauge shotgun shells. He did a chamber and liner for me, as well as repair of the extractor. He later did a Springfield 1879 carbine that has a bad pitted...

    Hard to find flintlock

    Over the past few months I have been checking on availability of an older Lyman Deerstalker in .50 flint. I know there was a bunch of these made but they are hard to find. I hate the new ones with the fiber optics so looking for the old style with the dovetails in the barrel. I guess it speaks...

    Handgun reloader meets leadball

    Mark the ramrod at the end of the muzzle when you load whatever load you are using. If the ring marked on the ramrod is exposed, then the ball is not seated. Ball/patch combo is one of those things that you will need to explore. Say a .50 cal. 490" and .020" patch or a .495" ball and a .015"...

    To the hoarders that clean out supplies,, leaving the rest of us empty handed. Well, you can guess my thoughts.

    TC FLINTLOCK

    I prefer the Lyman frizzens but they require a bit of modification. They are a bit thicker in the shoulder where the screw goes through them.

    Wanted - parts Need someone to reassemble a percussion lock for me.

    I thought that he was looking for someone to do the work but some of us offered suggestions to help him do it himself.

    Coil spring vs leaf spring?

    T/C and Lyman produce their locks with coil springs while it seems that everyone else goes with leaf spings. What are the advantages of each?

    Second on the vice-grips of the correct size. I would also suggest that you place everything inside of a plastic grocery bag. That way is anything flies away it won't go far. Easier to find in the bag than on the floor.

    Weight

    Weight do vary slightly. The wood of the stock can vary in density and weight. You won't know the difference of less than a pound.

    It's the balance, more so than the weight.

    You call that a rifle.

    I am a fan of bigger calibers for hunting, but I am afraid of the recoil on this one.
