    Went for powder--- Jeepers, I must be a magnet .

    I think I found the lock, it looks like the John Bailes by L&R it's the top one I think. http://www.trackofthewolf.com/(S(woqwgb55p0bwyc552qlylqix))/categories/partList.aspx?catId=14&subId=148&styleId=842&PageSize=10&Page=4 What do you think?

    You guys got me on the year, the shop owner didn't know when it was made but thought it is from the 70's. I finished the post- sorry, my fingers are too big for this dang keyboard.

    Went for powder--- Jeepers, I must be a magnet .

    Well I went for powder today in Atlanta, I had the day off from doctors appointments so I made a trip to the shop where they have lots of muzzleloaders and supplies. I had been thinking of getting a 32 cal rifle so I asked if he had any, There was a few crockets in 32 and other rifles in cap so...

    Any events around W. Georgia or E. Alabama?

    I am looking for any shooting events or such things in the west Georgia or east Alabama area. I love when I went to the archery shoots in the old days and some folks there used to talk about the muzzle loading events they also participated in. Just wondering if you folks know of any. Thanks

    How big is too big for a horn to prime with?

    I think I will go with the one horn deal. I do have one of those priming pan brass things that I were around my neck, at first I was priming with it but I found my rifle works just fine with the 3F. I can carry the brass primer for the wetter conditions I guess. It doesn't take up too much room...

    Help me buy a horn and Bag

    I see where you are coming from, I work on cars for a living, helped my father build his house, remodeled my home so mechanical and wood working is not a problem for me but,------ I did buy a built rifle--- I just didn't have the confidence to build my first rifle. Now that I have the rifle, I...

    Help me buy a horn and Bag

    Thanks so much for your input, I need to find others in the west Georgia area that knows of events and such. I am itching to go hunting again too. I took the last 10 years off because of the move from NY, got married to a zoo keeper (she is lighting up on me about the hunting thing), and the...

    Help me buy a horn and Bag

    Thanks for the great ideas, I will try to figure out what I really want to carry in my bag, the ziplock bag thing is a great idea. As for making my own stuff- I am reluctant about it but not opposed to it either. I need to look around a bit more. Do you folks carry more than one horn, a large...

    How big is too big for a horn to prime with?

    This is kind of a follow up question. Is it a pain to prime with a large horn? I will be using 3F for the main and priming and was thinking one large horn for both jobs. Would it be better to have a additional smaller horn to prime with?

    1858 Pietta reassembly question

    I have tried to do the Clint thing tons of times. CAN'T DO IT. I imagine the hammer was ground, no hand, etc. to do it that smoothly. Then again I am not as cool as Clint. :bow:

    Great range session results

    Well I peeked at the rifle and the flint is not hitting either the pan or the barrel and is as square to the frizzen as it can get. I guess I will just live with it. The chip is only .035-.045 wide out of the .750 wide flint anyhow. As for the flint longevity; I guess I am lucky with this one...

    Great range session results

    Thanks for the diamond file idea. I look at the flint when I set them up to make sure they are square with the frizzen but it could be off just a touch. I am not really upset because the flint will go another 50 shot without fail so it isn't too much to complain about. I have a ding or two on...

    Great range session results

    Well I am excited to say I had a great day at the range yesterday. I was on sort of a mission to test out a few things that I have been reading about here on this forum. First: Will my custom 45 cal 42" green mountain with a large Siller lock shoot with FFF in the pan? Ball was a .440 Hornady...

    November Guns & Ammo

    I agree with you all about the "right" kind of response; but, I do not and will not read articles from that magazine or many others nowadays. Most all of these so called reviews are nothing but an advertisement for the companies. I have rarely seen a bad report on a gun. It must be they are...

    Does it bad to prime first then main charge?

    I am not pulling your leg. I have seen a few eyebrow raisers in my 40 or so years of pulling a trigger. I used to shoot every Saturday at a public range. One guy lost the tip of his left pointing finger to a 454 casual, another fellow shot the bring edge of his hat with a 22 rifle. I saw a...

    Just got a Remmy

    Mine likes the .454 ball and I shot 25 grains most of the time, every once in a while I loaded it to the max (32-35 grains-there about) and gave it a rip. I have had to replace the cylinder pin though--I bet it was from those heavy loads.

    Does it bad to prime first then main charge?

    I am stupid!!! IS it bad to... Anyway, You know, I could kind of answer my own question, Many years ago I cussed a guy for loading his revolver cylinders on a bench tool and capping them while on the bench and in his hand, He got extremely mad at me for telling him what to do and he told me to...
