    Longfowler, I'm not sure "scary" is the term I'd use, but she did kick like a barn soured mule. :shake: :shocked2:

    How to tear up a perfectly good pistol

    I've always greased / wadded my pistols on top of the ballwith good results. I have seen folks wad over their charge however, I may give it a try. Parts should arrive tomorrow Lord willing. This was my first dance with a LeMat, the thing is massive, but in the same breath, very delicate, you can...

    How to tear up a perfectly good pistol

    The caps were not as snug as I would have liked. I had #11's on hand. I should try to find some 10's. The thought did cross my mind. In my experiance, all my chain fires was due to the lack of grease or wadding over the ball, but it is a very valid point you bring up. Thannx

    How to tear up a perfectly good pistol

    :nono: :redface: I received a like new LeMat in the mail yesterday (purchased on line)I couldn't wait to shoot it. Being a .44 I figured I could get away with 30 gr. 3f and .451 ball. Iloaded 3 chambers with that load and didn't have room left for a wad over the ball , reduced the load on the...

    I bought the kit from Pecatonica, plain maple stock, 42" octagon to round tapered barrel, L&R Classic flintlock, iron furniture , she's a little fat on the forearm but she shoots quite well. :hatsoff:

    Flash in the pan, what gives?

    You may want to consider coning the vent on the inside, I've done this to my liners with good success. Take a dremel tool with a small stone and grind away, as far as cleaning , I "spike" my vent with a toothpick, pour solvent into the barrel , let it sit for a few minutes, patch my jag , remove...

    Tulle - "Fusil de Chasse"

    I bought a Tulle from Pecatonica some years back. I did all of the work myself other than soldering the barrel tenons and sight, although not a masterpiece by any stretch, it went together well and is a good shooter, I also have a southern mountain rifle fro them. I would not hesitate buying...

    FFF OR FF?

    Please bear in mind that the max charge is not always the most accurate. With that being said, I like 3f for all of my shooting, cleaner burn, a little more umph. My hunting loads in my .50's are 80 gr. 3f and .490 patched round ball. Of course all rifles are an intity unto themselves, and what...

    First flint

    My first flinter was a Pedersoli/ Dixie Pennsylvania rifle gun in .45 , not a bad piece, but once I bought my first "real" flinter I sold the Dixie and have no regrets. Y.M.H.S. Rebel Yell :hatsoff:

    Breaking in a New Flint

    I concur... seasoning is a myth thought up by T.C.Arms, the only seasoned iron in my house are my skillets :winking: Clean it well with soapy water or a thousand other concoctions ( I use denatured alcohol and murphies oil soap myself, sometimes ballistol)oil it well inside and out ( again I...

    what about a Pedersoli rifle?

    I once owned a Pedersoli Penn. flint rifle.The Frizzon spring went south in a short while.Fit and finish is ok to good, IMHO I would look at TVM rifles or the like, you'll pay a little more but the quality of components aere top of the line

    So how much for a lower end rifle, and what make would one be?

    There are many factors that determine the price of a rifle , figure of curl in the stock, locks, barrels, amount of carving , embellishment on the rifle the maker etc. My first flint rifle was a Pedorsoli"Pennsylvania" style in .45 cal.Although not a "bad rifle"I feel I would have been money...
