    Triple Sight Picture

    Or maybe try an aperture on your readers, see: https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/adding-an-aperture-to-your-glasses-so-you-can-see-the-sights.160334/ BTW, of the 3, you want the FRONT SIGHT to be in focus … the others will blur. In fact all your focus should be on the front sight.

    Tumbling balls in soapy water

    Personally, for my competition rifles and roundballs, I do see value in it, but clearly one's use and accuracy potential differ, so your mileage may vary ... For the truing, any sprue or projection thereof in that area is rounded off to be barely visible if not eliminated. By the very nature of...

    The OLDEST in my BP collection …

    The large socket and goes on a tiller, otherwise a staff or a long pike. I bet it was real heavy to wield in use. Each chamber is fired individually, many times by a second person so that the first person could hold and aim, while the second person would ignite it. I have to believe that this...

    The OLDEST in my BP collection …

    How about an 8-shot Chinese ‘hand cannon’ or hand gonne from the 15th century Ming Dynasty. No, I’ve NOT shot this one. Each chamber was fired individually.

    Wads Vs Lube Vs Paper Cartridges

    Just picked up a Walker, so forgive me ... a 'newbie' question, although my Dad shot a ROA for years. But with powder, then a lube cookie or lubed wad and a ball sized so that it completely shaves a 'ring' off when seated ... is the grease on top really necessary (to prevent 'chain fires', not...

    Pyrite Update

    FWIW I agree diamond wheels or ANY cutting of pyrite can/will make a mess! Here's what I use, using these THIN diamond wheel used in a Dremel tool. I got a (30) piece kit for only $16 shipped from eBay. Check them out ... Tips 1) Wear a mask! Not a dust mask, but a good NIOSH-rated particulate...

    Help with ID on this Target rifle

    The main spring, aka ‘trigger guard’ may not be broken at all. It just might have been designed so that it doesn’t engage the hammer until the hammer 1/2-way back. With a stiff enough spring, this would still provide enough power to ignite the cap when set back to full ****. This is simple...

    Wheellock Info

    You have a spanner … you should at least be able to try to wind them sloooowly (clockwise only when looking at the lock from the outside, with the pan open!) and see if they even ‘clock’ (sear nose drops into the ‘trap’ hole in the wheel to ‘lock’ it cocked) while holding the spanner firm in...
