    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    It is called a side slapper or mule ear lock. It cocks out ins of up. When the cap is struck it fires straight into the powder charge because the nipple screws straight into the barrel.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I got the lock in place and a trigger working. Ignore the barrel fit, it does go all the way down in the channel. The trigger was tough because this lock requires the trigger to push back against the sear bar instead of up.

    Chemistry Question

    A taste test would not lead to good outcomes I am sure! And since others are offering their patch lube of choice here is mine. Olive oil, which was known as sweet oil back in the day. As for applying it, I have two methods. One is to cut square patches, put them in a faux rawhide pouch...

    Chemistry Question

    My wife is a chemist. She said you might be able to whip it if it is an actual emulsion it will thicken like mayonnaise. I am not a chemist. I would add soap.

    My first flintlock - Kibler WoodsRunner kit
