    CCI Caps - CCI reply regarding availability

    I just saw a youtube video of a fellow using cap gun caps on his percussion rifle and it actually worked. He did say they are not 100% consistent as he said a couple didn't set the gun off. Anyone else tried these red plastic cap gun caps ?? Ohio Rusty ><>

    Shooting sticks

    The sticks make the barrel adjustable up or down. The sticks also create a quiet and stable platform without needing a table or bench. Ohio Rusty ><>

    The Search for a Vintage Cornbread

    The earliest 18th century recipe I know of is 'Rye and *****'. They used the rye flour with the corn flour to extend the flour they had to use. Any wheat flour they might have had was sold for a better profit, eventually ending up across the pond as the english demanded white soft bead. Barley...

    The Search for a Vintage Cornbread

    1 3/4's cups of Martha White cornmeal mix, 1/4 cup bread flour, 1 egg, 1 and 3/4 cups of buttermilk, 1/4 cup of sugar and a little more for good luck. Greased iron skillet with crisco. 450 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes a nice soft corn bread. I really like grape jelly on my cornbread. Ohio Rusty ><>

    Grease hole

    Mine has a lengthend grease hole .... more like a grease slot where you can wipe the patch across the grease in the slot. My rifle is a close copy of the historic William Bean rifle. Hershel House made a super copy of this poorboy rifle, grease slot, antler piece at the top of the heel, all iron...

    Can’t find a rifle!

    I'm sorry you have bad feelings for Pedersoli guns. Pedersoli makes ALL the guns for the Italian Olympic Shooting Team and ALL their competition indoor and outdoor sports. I think that is pretty impressive. There are things you can do to make the lock and ignition more reliable and faster. The...

    .45 Caliber: Deer?

    I also have a .40 caliber but I would never use it on a big bodied heavy Ohio Deer. The 40 may be fine for all the tiny deer in the south. Just not enough ball to bring down a deer quickly. I believe the .40 is the perfect turkey gun, but we can't shoot them with a rifle. Ohio Rusty

    .45 Caliber: Deer?

    I had a friend that used a .45 on a large Ohio Whitetail. After letting the deer lie for an hour, the tracking began. We saw the deer was only wounded in the shoulder (70 grains of 3F and .440 roundball). We tracked the big antlered deer to the Scioto river where the deer ran into the river and...

    Where to obtain flat spring steel?

    Here is another thought .... Inside the head band of a pair of headphones, there is a 1/2 inch wide piece of spring steel that is probably the thinness you need. The spring steel band is 8 or 9 inches long. That can easily be heated to soften it, shape it and anneal it back to the spring steel...

    Where to find 1mm or .037 flat spring steel

    What about trying the steel from an old wood saw ?? You can get a whole saw at a flea market for a dollar or two. That is thin and flat and can be cut to the size you need, heated and tempered. I bet it would make a fine spring. I have some 1/8th thick 1080 spring steel I use for making knives...
