    Flint storage

    All - I am a geologist with over 25 years experience dealing with rock properties so I can probably speak with a scientific basis on whether flint should be stored in water or not. I think the bottom line is that it doesn't matter. Flint is pretty much pure silica (the same thing that makes up...

    MOOSE MILK?

    Un - my guess on why hydrogen peroxide was used is that is that it is a great organic solvent that would remove the crud generated by BP if it were used straight out of the bottle. However, whoever put the recipe together probably didn't realize that hydrogen peroxide would basically come apart...

    MOOSE MILK?

    All, I am not going to get into what I do for a living, but suffice it to say that the oxygen atoms in the hydrogen peroxide would have long disassociated before anyone would ever get a chance to put it down a barrel. (The organic compounds in the oil would have taken care of that issue.)...

    All, I have been shooting a .50 caliber flintlock Austin & Halleck for the last few years. I have decided to finally break down and buy either a 12 to 16 gauge SxS percussion or, preferably, flint. I intend to shoot trap, turkey, pheasant, the occasional trespasser, etc., with the gun. At...

    double flinter??

    Greetings All, This is my first post so if everyone feels I should just start a new thread with my question, I will pull this one and move it. In any case, I have been shooting a .50 cal Austin & Halleck mountain rifle for a few years and now want to start shooting a SxS flint. I pretty much...
