    (results!!)Round ball accuracy out of a jug choked smoothbore

    Thank you very much for answering this question. I have heard that roundball accuracy improved with jug choking, but this is one of the first definitive demonstrations of how much.I will be sending my smooth barrel out shortly for Caywood to jug choke full for me.

    shooting tomorrow

    If you have already sparked the lock, you'll know whether the bevel is correct. The angle of the flint to the frizzen on the L&R picture indicates that the frizzen will only open halfway before getting stuck on the flint coming down. This doesn't mean it won't throw sparks and it doesn't mean...

    Hunting with a flinter

    Actually, it's closer to Batavia. About a half hour from Lockport. They hold some real nice shoots there too.

    Oh, what to get, what to get....??

    I purchased my Wilson from Caywood about 10+ years ago. It has a 36" 20 ga./.62 cal smoothbore barrel. This barrel shoots extremely well with both shot and round ball. After owning and shooting my Wilson for 10 years, this past fall I purchased a .58 cal rifled barrel. After fitting and bluing...

    Caywood

    I ordered a new .58 rifle barrel for my Wilson, from Danny and received it back in January. Sighted in perfectly regards windage, but shoots a little high. Have spoken to him several times since, business seems to be doing well.

    Molds

    Okay, there was a post in another topic that mentioned the balls from the TOW bag molds were misshaped as in not round. Thank you for your time in explaining this.

    DGW Tennessee Mountian Rifle (LH)

    The 1987 DGW Blackpowder Annual has an excellent article detailing the assembly of the Tn. Mt. kit. DGW still sells this issue for $3.50, I sent you the link in private.

    Dutch Schultz' Accuracy Method

    Dutch is a good sort and his system is well worth the investment. For ordering details, use the link that Swampy provided.

    When you say they don't make a perfect round ball, do you mean they are misshaped?

    Inkle Loom

    Inkle Loom

    An excellent book on the subject is "Inkle Weaving" by Helene Bress. Youn can get it from Townsend at http://jas-townsend.com/product_info.php?products_id=573&osCsid=79808add941635c01e124f025699e3ee it discuss the full spectrum of inkle weaving and shows plans for both table and floor inkle looms.

    tow?

    I agree with Paul, I have not heard of this with twine, maybe rope but I would waste my time trying unravel that for jute. I use jute for weaving straps for bags and horns, tumplines and many other things. When I'm finished I usually have far more than 2 pounds of scrap jute available.

    tow?

    I realize that this isn't online, but if you just want tow for gun cleaning and fire starting, go to your local hardware store, buy a spool of jute twine and then untwist/unravel it as you need to. Twine is a lot more compact in your fire kit. I cut the twine into 6" strands and then unravel...

    Jaeger Shooters

    Sorry, Thornapple but you would not get my vote for "Ugliest Jaeger". By my thinking, it's almost perfect. I say almost, because I haven't held it in my hands. BUT, it looks beautiful to me. Right barrel, furniture and just enough carving to give it a personality. My compliments on a really nice...

    Fort Ti Woes Continue....

    My apologies as the misunderstanding was mine. 2008 was NYS F&I Commemoration Event at Ft. Ticonderoga. Yes, 2009 is the 250th celebration of the British taking of the fort, but the NYS F&I event for 2009 is Niagara.

    Caywood v. North Star West

    I'll be happy to take yours then, Russ. I have had my Caywood for 10 years and never have had problems with customer service or customer relations. Once had a mainspring crack and had a friend cast a new one. I called Caywood and told them, how I had it fixed and Danny sent me a new mainspring...
