    Stuck Ball

    I put the post in the "Flintlock Rifles" because the rifle is a "Flintlock". Being new to Flintlocks I called the "flash hole insert" a nipple, my mistake, sorry for the confusion. Frank

    Stuck Ball

    Thank you everyone for your ideas. I had poured lub down the barrel yesterday and the ball must have had a hole through it from the ball screw puller because lube was coming out the nipple. I took a steel rod and used a rubber hammer to run the ball down to the lub soaked powder. then took the...

    Sights - Peep

    How early were peep sights used on the tang or barrel? In the mid 1800's I am sure a lot of those old boys had bad eyes and no glasses and trouble seeing the open sights. Frank

    New Gun

    Grandson 14 received a new 1851 Nayv .44 cal for Christmas. Gun in plastic bag and covered in oil. How far do you tear down the gun to clean it? Other than removing the barrel and cylinder do you remove the grips and take the frame apart? Frank

    Flash pan powder holder

    Some where I have seen a brass powder holder for the flash pan. I believe you press the tip in the flash pan and it puts the proper amount of powder in the pan. One of brass or a real small powder horn with the right tip on it would be great if I could find one. Frank

    Nose Cap - Kentucky Pistol

    My grandson was given a old CVA Kentucky Pistol kit. The kit is missing the sights and the nose cap. I have sights for the pistol in my shop but can not locate a nose cap. Anyone have a nose cap they want to get rid of or know who may have one? Frank
