    Patch thickness measure

    According to Dutch Schultz use a micrometer and put pressure on it. That will be the thickness of the patch under the ball. That's how I'm doing it.

    New life for a old knife

    Thanks. It didn't seem brittle but I really have no comparison to a "fresh one" I mostly hunt hogs and fowl here in socal. Hopefully one day I'll get a chance at a deer.

    Ya, they are real.

    New life for a old knife

    Thank you! None that I could see. There's some pretty extensive pitting on the blade so it very well could have be lost in the rust removal I did with the wire wheel.

    New life for a old knife

    I found this old rusty blade a few years ago on a jobsite. I ran it under a wire wheel to remove the rust and put in my toolbox and quickly forgot about it. I came across it again last week and decided to do something with it. I went to the local pet store and bought a deer antler chew toy...

    The first 100 shots

    Yep my copy arrived yesterday. Lots of good information well worth the 30 some dollars it costs.

    OOPSIii ! what's your best/worst one.

    I bought a used GPR off a member from another forum. The barrel was badly rusted and pitted. I cleaned it up and it was shooting good for the first 3 shots. My son wanted a go at it and used a cleaning patch instead of a properly sized lubed patch. The prb got stuck halfway down the barrel. I...

    #10 caps

    I just placed a order with them. I was able to add them to my cart no problem.

    touch hole liners

    That's my thought and I've always done it this way. However after reading here people don't seem to reccomend removing them.

    touch hole liners

    Why don't we remove them during cleaning? With my cap and ball revolvers I remove the the nipples and clean them why not do the same on my rifle? I guess I just don't understand the difference.

    Horrible accuracy after 3 shots

    Well we went out again today. I took the advice mentioned and ran a patch after every 2 shots. It makes all the difference after we were able to get a good group we adjusted the sights and at 50 yards it's a tack driver. My son put about 50 shots down range and had a great time. Thanks to...

    Pedersoli Scout Flintlock

    No nerve hit at all. I was merely stating that all production guns will have a few lemons. Unfortunately that seems to be becoming more common. I agree with you if I spend 1.5k+ on a firearm I expect it to work ( that's why my colt python is going back) I wouldn't take an inferior product from...

    Pedersoli Scout Flintlock

    There are problems with every production gun. I have 2 pedersoli's a mortimer that is absolutely a work of art and a jaeger hunter that leaves you wanting. That being said I bought a new 4.25" colt snake unmentionable a few months ago for 1500 dollars that has to go back to colt because the...

    Horrible accuracy after 3 shots

    I'm not that interested in it if it can shoot prb to be honest. I have very little sentimental attachment to this rifle. I have other guns of his I have memories of actually shooting with him. This thread was started because I couldn't believe after 3 shots I couldn't hit anywhere on paper. I'm...

    Horrible accuracy after 3 shots

    Thanks for all the information guys. I'll be taking it out again this weekend. I'll be sure to post up a range report.
