    Paper catridge lube

    A "Youtube" video shows making wonder wads with beeswax & lamb tallow mixture. I thought the ratio would be too greasy. I've heard of the beeswax & olive oil mixture, but no ratio's were ever given for summer shooting. Thank you both for the info! :hatsoff:

    Paper catridge lube

    I made a dozen paper cartridges for my bess, using .003 inch thick brown paper rolled around a .715 diameter dowel. Any recommendations for a beeswax mixture lube? Dry, the paper cartridge just fits the bore. I don't want to shoot dry paper, but I don't want a greasy mess either, so I'm...

    Which Co. to buy kit from

    It is a toss-up between TRS' 1756 Lt Dragoon or NSWs' 1757 Officer Musket. I am having a custom 34inch, .58cal barrel made with the same profile as the '1756' Lt Dragoon musket barrel. After I receive the barrel, my options are: A) Order a stock without the barrel inletted and all of the...

    Buying BP in Cincinnati-Dayton area?

    I live in NE OH and last year, while my wife and I were in Sugarcreek OH, I stopped in Millers Gun Supply Ltd. Their GOEX BP was $4.00/Lb cheaper than Log Cabin. It would be about a 3hr drive, but the areas is pretty, and the Amish furniture and food shopping would be worth the drive.

    F & I War Coat (Ranger Coat) Pattern

    Loayalit Dave - Thanks for the links to the pattern and pictures. This is what I was looking for - a pattern based on authencity, but I can still make minor changes to suit me for function, not reenacting. :hatsoff:

    F & I War Coat (Ranger Coat) Pattern

    I want to create a F & I era (Ranger-type) coat (outfit) to go target shooting and hunting with. I have no plans for reenacting, so authenticity is not required, but want my clothing to be "period correct." With this, what pattern(s) from what company would best be recommended? In addition...

    .40 caliber, then and now

    Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) said it best in the movie Magnum Force, "Man's got to know his limitations." This holds true for any aspect, especially when using my .40cal for hunting. I know my accuracy/confidence at 25 and limitations at 50 yds. Because I have no "factuals" on the...

    Making a powder horn.

    I am wanting to make my own powder horn. Who sells horns? Somewhere amid the thousands of posts here, I saw the name of a store, but cannot remember it. :confused: What I do remember was a lot of posts with high complements about the store. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    A new .32, or a 2nd .58?

    After I attend the CLA show, I'll have a better idea of what I want the .32 to look like. Recently on Track's for-sale menue, I saw a beautiful .58 Jeager. My plan is to get both built and make MY Christmas Merry! :grin:

    .58 cal barrel with 1-in-56 twist

    Sometime during this past week, I found a store that was selling a 1" octagon X 42 (44?) inch long X .58 cal with a 1 in 56in twist, round-bottom rifling barrel. Unfortunately though, I cannot find my reference notes on who the manufacturer was. :confused: If you know who it is please...

    A new .32, or a 2nd .58?

    I figured I was kinda leanin' into a left hook with this post...but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do! :headslap: I do appreciate everyone's input. :hatsoff: I was specing-out a 42" X 13/16" barrel for the .32. I figured it would be more like sniping rather than stalking, therfore...

    A new .32, or a 2nd .58?

    First, I LOVE my .40 flintlocks and am going to have a third .40 flinter built before end-of-year 2012. So I contemplate my next flinter...should I get a .32 or .58 flintlock? I have a .58 fusil de chasse and am waiting for the CLA show in KY to look .58 'Jaeger's.' A short-barrelled rifle...
