    Did Pedersoli stop production of their 62 caliber Indian trade musket?

    I don't know what all the fuss is over said item 🤷

    I don't know what bore butter is made of. I used some wonderlube once but it's not as good as beeswax and olive oil. At the moment mine is mostly coconut fat melted in the same tin as the bees wax mix with olive oil. It's not magic. Just use an animal and or vegetable oil and fats. They can...

    Just done cleaning it, days after I said. Clean and no rust. Nice smooth bore. 😇

    Any SxS trap shooters out there?

    I once shot a varmint in a trap. When the smoke cleared the trap was buggered! I thought to myself, " that was a mistake...!"

    Mrs goes mad about the black. She said "it's me or the smoke pole...!" Last I heard she is sleeping rough in Birmingham....

    Honestly guys I've lost count when I've come in all tired and simply plastered my lube on a couple of patches and run them down and out again. Then plastered around the breech. No rust for days. It's not rocket science or magic.

    Sounds like they used the wrong lubes!

    Wow 😎 good times.

    I don't use anything wet or an oil My lube is a greasy mix of animal and vegetable fats. The only time I use something wet is the boiled water to flush the barrel with.

    Yes and no! Only the last outing did I get a misfire and after tipping a pinch of powder in the nipple it fired. Hence the decision to now clean it.

    Up and down. It's not dripping though. When it's up I use more lube.
