    To Bounce or not to Bounce

    I get the best groups with an even firm push on the rod with my weight. A bathroom scale on the butt when loading and you get get the same amount of pressure from shot to shot if you really want to be consistent.

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

    Is there a brush stuck in there ? The third picture zoomed in looks like the tip of a .22 caliber brush.

    The Return of Thompson-Center

    Supposedly they bought an empty factory here in my home town of Wabash, Indiana. I'm told they got a 10 year tax embedment from the town. No word as to when they plan to start up or what they plan to make.

    FOR SALE CCI #11 caps at Powder Valley free hazmat

    $12 a tin plus shipping is over double what walmart sells them. Still if your only option you got to pay to play.

    Barely any sparks

    I set up my Traditions like Wincoaster. I can rest the flint on the frizzen and with a little thumb pressure on the **** the **** will drop as the flint slides down the frizzen. About 60* angle is optimal, the flint should point in the center of the pan. I get a nice shower of sparks and flints...

    Got #11 CCI caps in Walmart today

    Anyone wonder why only walmart gets a big shipment of caps and primers ? None of the farm stores or sporting goods stores get them or at least in any quantities.

    I just started this book yesterday. Just a few pages in and I'm impressed.

    Finally starting my pistol; one more decision

    Currently working on a pistol myself. How did you achieve the dull "flat" steel color on the lock and barrel ?

    Minwax Antique Oil Finish

    Awesome ! I'm happy with the results I get. I lightly rub it in with two fingers, let dry over night . Lightly scuff with 0000 steel wool , wipe with clean rag and repeat. Two to three coats gives a nice low sheen finish. The more coats the shinier it gets. A tip is to store the can upside...

    Minwax Antique Oil Finish

    I bought some a few year back , think it was $13 for a quart. I like the results. It appears its been discontinued. Same thing happened with Fromby's tung oil and Johnsons paste wax; it got discontinued and shot up to $75 a pint on ebay and amazon. Try local mom and pop hardware stores. Seems...

    .32 caliber frustrations with not grouping.

    It does seem strange, the flash hole in a nipple is around .025" and that is tiny. Can't imagine .016" in a flintlock would work well if at all.

    Muzzle-Loaders.Com

    Good people over there; low prices and free shipping on all accessories. Ordered a CVA measurer that was suppose to be 50 grs. to 120 grs. and it turned out to be 60grs. to 120 grs. I sent and email about a return and within an hour they had refunded the cost and told me just to keep it. The...

    Preventing bore rust

    Hmmm...... seems that web site wants you to buy their product and not CLP. CLP has been used by the US military since the 80's without issue . Any oil will collect debris and I agree a dedicated cleaner followed by a dedicated preserving/lubricating oil is the best, but I have never heard of...

    Preventing bore rust

    "Careful with the CLP, it will get between the breech threads." Huh ? Are you referring to the breech plug that is rarely removed or never removed in most production guns ? Not sure I follow how a lubricant in threads will seize them up ? It would seem it would prevent rust which will...

    Pictures and lock type would be helpful in diagnosing the issue.

    Shooting a flintlock rifle upside down for a score?

    It would be an interesting video. Historically people surely had to load and shoot in the dark , and load by feel . Can't wait .
