    Preventing bore rust

    With a proper cleaning promptly after shooting Pyrodex is no more corrosive than BP ;although BP is a little more forgiving. Don't clean your gun properly or promptly after shooting you will get rust with either, though BP is a little more forgiving.

    Preventing bore rust

    Are you cleaning with with water first ? If the bore is not 100% dry the bore butter can trap moisture and cause rusting. Bore butter does oxidizer and leaves a brownish residue that can look like rust. Here's how I do it. Flush bore with water and pump a patch up and down the bore several...

    You want a challenge, get a Traditions kit. Not bashing, I have several and currently working on a flinter pistol at the moment. Sure you can slap them together and call it done, but if want a nice looking gun you're in for some work. ;)

    Question on Traditions Kentucky

    The Traditions with double/set triggers have a bridle , the single trigger models do not. However the tumbler does have the lug for the bridle and a bridle can be added fairly easily.

    Eye injuries from flintlock?

    I'd like to know the data from the period. As far as eye injuries form flintlocks; I'd say compared to daily chores like weed wacking, chainsawing, grinding metal, etc. it's probably at the bottom of the list.

    Be advised....

    Same for .410 shotshells. Less everything but most expensive and harder (if not impossible ) to find.

    .32 caliber frustrations with not grouping.

    Yeah, as a machinist I never heard of them either. We have precision ground hardened tool steel pin sets in .001" increments , no "certified grade" that I know is listed. I have to assume it is not a 1/64" hole and there was some confusion.

    Walmart caps

    Notice the piles of 209 primers , I counted 6,000 209 primers out and visible to the 1,000 #11's on display. The kid that checked me out said the 209 primers and Blackhorn powder were the big sellers. :(

    Walmart caps

    Like anything it must very by location. The two stores I visit only get 1,000 caps once a year and have for years.

    Belton Repeating Flintlock: A Semiautomatic Rifle in 1785

    Interesting that the goal was always focused on fire power and not accuracy. Amazing technology for the period.

    rust in bore ???

    Are you sure it's rust ? If it's a used barrel it could be old lube leeched out from the heat.
