    Raw wool instead of flax tow

    well if you need exact quotes saying "we used wool" you are not likely going to find it and you are being a little pedantic Why would he bring up wool in the first place and say that felt and soft brown paper were preferable if no one was using it?! The very way he speaks of it in his writing...

    Raw wool instead of flax tow

    Let me counter that claim... with my reading of the subject material it sorta reads to me like the dude who wrote it was counseling folks that hat felt or brown paper was the superior choice . Reads like advice against the common wisdom to me suggesting that it must have been common practice for...

    Investarms Plains Pistol Half-**** Not Secure

    first thing to do is to take the lock out of the rifle and see if the half **** works properly out of the stock. If it does work out of the stock, then you have some inletting issues and you need to figure out where it is binding things up. If it also doesn't work outside of the stock that is...

    Help With Valuation

    The first one, $1100-$1700, but find a buyer. It is a nice gun, but you will have to wait a spell to find someone who can fork out its value. I think if you put it out at $1200 it should sell quickly. If you are willing to wait, you can hold out for a bit more. What do you have in it? That...

    Newbie Question: Which side of the patch do I grease?

    Newbie Question: Which side of the patch do I grease?

    those precut and lubed patches only have a shelf life of about 18 months, they deteriorate in quality rather quickly my advice is to prepare a small amount of patches or a strip of cloth you cut at the barrel and keep lube and patching cloth in your bag, or just use spit lube patches in the...

    Does anyone make/sell something like a snap cap cone to dry fire a revolver?

    while that is indeed the ideal, most of the revolvers folks have do not meet the expectation To the question at hand....I just use percussion caps. Get a fun bang and you are not messing up your nipples. (when we were kids my dad used to play quickdraw with me and my brother using his revolvers...

    3F in a .54?

    I use 3f Goex in my .54 but I only use 70 grains. Pellets are made for modern inlines and not ideal for your GPR. Use loose powder.

    TC 56 caliber, why 56? why not something smaller?

    As already stated years ago the Massachusetts market needed a good smoothbore for hunting. I own one of these smooth rifles and they are a great gun. Inside 80 yards they are rather accurate and you can load it for turkey or varmints. If I could only have 1 gun in my safe, I would pick my TC...

    Rose Damascus Dueling Pistol Set

    agree with all the above self defense pair of pocket pistols Nice case, nifty little pistols and old. But the case is not proper to the era or the station of a man who might have owned such pistols. Also the one pistol that has the trigger showing is a red flag that something is busted inside...

    .36 Colt Navy that powerful??????

    I have only had to resort to pulling a gun once. 1851 Colt (Italian reproduction in fantasy .44) Happened back in '88 I think it was. Guy in the Greyhound bus stop of Shreveport, LA late at night waiting for my next bus. Demanded my money after I gave him a light for his smoke, giving me the mad...
