    Lancaster (custom) Rifle, .50 cal.

    It is a real nice piece but like others have said a bit over the top. I wonder if the rifle was American made or wheather some one in Germany did it. American clasic Lancaster rifle but done in German style. I like all the fancy carvings and wire work but it would not be one I would like to...

    Guys-Thanks for the responces. If you will go back and reread my post you will see that I have already have the ball out because I removed the breech plug and drove it out with a wooden ram rod. The ball is out- What I was thinking about doing was to drill out the old vent and put a new vent...

    vent liner

    I did not state why I want to remove the liner. The reason is I had dry balled the barrel and could not get enough powder behind the ball to get it out .I tried that trick several times with no luck. Tried to pull the ball and it would not come out.The last resort was to remove the breech plug...

    Detonation??

    Humm! Very interesting. I have a Mississippi that I bought several ago from a friend and tried to shoot it some with 60 grains of ffg and it kicked pretty good.I think I will try a reduced load in it when I get to shoot itagain- Thanks MuddTurtle. Ps how low do you think I could go over all.

    Detonation??

    Zonnie: Are you saying that it would be safe to drop the charge of powder -say from 60 grains to maybe30 or even as low as 20 grains and have the rifle shoot. How well could one exspect reasonable accuracy from this reduced charge. Mudd Turtle.

    shooting minnies

    I have several black powder muskets that range in caliber of 50 to 78 . I was wondering if during the civil war the soldiers stuffed the paper from the cartridges down the barrel which may have formed a gas seal. When I look at pictures of battle sites I haven't seen a lot of paper lying around...
