    Cva prospector pistol

    I'm not sure if they may have switched bore dia. At some point, mine is a 2 diget ser. #. I used calipers on a soft slug driven through the bore.

    Cva prospector pistol

    I just slugged the bore on my Tingle ".40 black powder magnum". It measured .409 lands, .429 groove dia. Rather Odd sizing. My .40 cal rifle is .401 on the lands.

    Cva prospector pistol

    Nice pistols there. Interested to hear ball size as well, I have one of the Tingle .40 cal's, and a .395 ball is way too small. Will be watching.

    Pedersoli 12 gauge

    Keep that puppy, load it with 70-80 gr. Black, and 1&1/8 to 1&1/4 oz shot. The older ones are the best, very trim and lively. If you sell it, you'll just waste the money on something stupid like food or heat, trust me.

    importing

    I would check with Simpsons LTD. I have bought from them, and found them to be excellent. They do a great deal of Importing and have a page directed towards assisting u.s. citizens import firearms. Firearm Imports

    Kibler's solution

    If that's the Historic House Parts stuff he used to sell, I loved it and have used it on a colonial and an smr kit. It offers zero protection to rust, but adds a nice grey look, and allows a natural patina to slowly be created under it. I always figured, if I changed my mind, a little cleanup...

    .570 balls in a 20G smoothy

    I did OK with a 20ga cushion wad, a .562 ball and heavy denim patch in a 62/20 ga. Smoothbore. About 5" at 50yd, so nothing to brag on, but easy loading, and would work for close range deer, etc.

    Primer Compound -- getting it to stick

    It's really hard to beat the Duco and acetone mix. I see no reason to explore further, my caps rattle around all day, and nothing falls out. The Duco cement is pretty flamable on it's own, so leaves no residue. I have found these caps to be absolutely reliable in all my guns. Just follow what...
