    Dangerous Situation

    Flintfan, TOW says that theirs is press fitted and not to worry. I got mine at a local gun shop. Different!

    Dangerous Situation

    Thanks for the response. I use Pyrodex RS to shoot my paper targets. Never shot at an animal.

    Yes, it did and also I'm glad that my old 1842 can take a licking and keep on ticking.

    Dangerous Situation

    Guys and Girls, I'd like to relate an incident that could have been a very dangerous situation. First I'd like to mention that as you can see I am new to muzzleloading and this forum. No excuse. About two weeks ago I found a small shiny round brass button shaped object on my garage floor. It...

    Well, I finally dry-balled

    Well, I fired my Harpers Ferry on Tuesday for the first time. Was going well but after about 5 shots got lost in conversation with my mentor and forgot whether I powdered or not before I dropped a ball in. We used the range rod mark to determine the total load and it looked correct. So I just...

    Here's a picture of my original Harper's Ferry lock plate. Although my gun is now a hybrid I believe the Springfield stampings give it a better value and none is the wiser.

    Stock Markings

    Guys, Is there any significance to the burned in markings on the butt of my '42 Harper's Ferry musket? (C.C. 32) It looks fairly professional not like Johnny carved it in the field. With the help I've received from all of you I am about prepared to fire it up next week. I just called my range...

    WITHDRAWN Caps

    Got my Schuetzen caps. They are a little big for my 1842 HF nipple but I squeezed them down and the hold the nipple jut fine. They fire nicely.

    Thanks, JC, it just so happens that I have the book. My wife picked it up when she visited Harper's Ferry about ten years ago. Unfortunately I was not on the trip with her.

    Ok, Grenadier, I was able to change my order to .672 at Track of the Wolf just in time. Good save. Thanks.

    Ok, thanks again guys. You've talked me into it. I've ordered .69 caliber balls. It makes sense. Phil

    I am brand new to this forum and black powder shooting. I have an original 1842 Harper's Ferry smooth bore musket. The original lock plate was ground smooth with no eagle or HF date so I replaced it with a Springfield lock plate from eBay. It fit perfectly. I have located a batch of .69 caliber...
