    Asking for help with a Rifle Shoppe Baker Rifle: groups at 50 yards have become dreadful.

    Pete @wahkahchimaol.com , youse asks ... youse gets ... as I got some input for you: Baker Friend #1 "Accuracy for the both of us with these ultra-slow twist rifles has admittedly been sporadic. We each have good days and bad days, most times being unexplainable, but that's what keeps us coming...

    Testing WD-40 against water patches. Which is cleaner?

    Hopefully you said that in jest ... :ghostly: as it doesn't align to the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) that are mandated by Federal Law for any version of the solvent.

    Asking for help with a Rifle Shoppe Baker Rifle: groups at 50 yards have become dreadful.

    Harmonics? With BP? Well I can tell firsthand the effect can be HUGE! It also occurs whether the BP arm be a rifle or smoothbore. Rather than detract from this post focusing on the Bakers, I'll just refer you to some links you can look at later, showing pictorial proof of the effect of the...

    Asking for help with a Rifle Shoppe Baker Rifle: groups at 50 yards have become dreadful.

    KEY question - what barrel twist did you get? The original had a sloooooooow twist of 1 in 120", and not the typical roundball twist of 1 in 66" or thereabouts. FWIW 2 guys at my BP Club built rifled Bakers from TRS kits and it took them WEEKS of experimenting to get results they liked with...

    Shotgunning with a muzzleloader took a religious turn

    Pretty harsh calling them a thief, when you have ZERO idea of where they got them ... don't be like a Liberal now, passing judgment on things you don't know ...;)

    Testing WD-40 against water patches. Which is cleaner?

    @BP Addict - Walt, as stated that's somewhat misleading, so if you don't mind me adding a clarification. The conclusion was from a test of 56 or more preservation solvents/solutions and it was not the basic WD-40 that out-performed them all, but it was their special and expen$ive ($15 for a...

    What is this musketty thing?

    Pulling the barrel would tell us, if not any marking inside the lock, but alas we can't do either. The 'S' sideplate says French all over it, but I still opine it was a Belgium-built FrankenPartsStein musket.

    I.D. "Bear Claw" Chris Lapp's Rifle?

    I'd say that's as good a guess as any! Now I surprised myself a tad the other day whilst sitting out in the cold VT woods waiting for a deer to come by, as I happened to look down at (not INTO, lol!) the muzzle of my 54 and it appeared quite larger than one would otherwise think, for being a...

    What is this musketty thing?

    Well, Belgium was VERY prolific in building BP flint arms from ANY assortment of original parts, even in the 20th century!
