    Controversial question. Short rodding a patched ball.

    A few years ago…..my son and I had matching Pedersoli frontier rifles, both 50 cal. We were at the range one day and shot quite a bit, he ended up short seating a ball ( ball stuck about 3”s above the charge ) dirty bore, not enough spit. …..the ball came out just fine upon shooting but left a...

    Pair of pistols identity request

    Pretty sure the captive rods came on the later models….1801 ? 1759 and 1799 were wood ram rods originally 🤔 But I am certainly no expert 😃

    Colt 1851 Navy—120 yards?

    You could hit it but at that range given the 51’s powder capacity that lil .36 might just bounce off a thick coat 😜

    IS THIS A SAFE SHOOTING BARREL?

    Ol Reliable”Old reliable” was the nickname given to the ‘74 Sharps rifles. I’m guessing someone just liked the nickname ? Clean the bore….then run a snug patch down the bore feeling for sudden loose spots etc. As dtated s bore light would be helpful. Certainly looks like a fine Rifle to me 😎👍

    I am an idiot. Frustrated to the point of wanting to quit.

    Of course do this after you get that ball out…..good suggestions on that already. I had a pard with similar issues to yours, 3-4 shots and she’d plug up the vent from the inside with gunk. After some good coaching on how he was “cleaning” his bore after each session, problems solved 🙂

    Stick that breech end of that barrel in a bucket and pump a cleaning patch up and down it till those touch hole threads and breach area looks squeekey clean. Looks like alotta gunk in there…🤷🏻‍♂️
