    Resurrecting an original English rifle. Nipple frozen Patent breach clogged. Help!

    A heat gun will not overheat the breech, stay away from propane, Mapp etc. Use a good penetrating oil, heat the breech, put a nipple wrench on the nipple and tap it a few time with a small hammer, let cool with penetrating oil on the nipple. Stick it in the freezer for a few hours, repeat all...

    Was Dutch right about wiping between shots?

    Offhand matches are the only ones I care about, for those of you who want to use Dutch's method, GREAT! I am happy for you. I bought the book and experimented with the drying out of the Machine oiled dry lubed patches and the whole nine yards and shot off a good solid benchrest and accuracy was...

    Polish capper question

    For those of you with a Polish capper, after watching the videos online it appears that when capping you pull the capper rearward and friction is what keeps the cap on the nipple. The inline and TDC rifle capper that I have you put the cap on and pull sideways and the "fingers" on the capper...

    Was Dutch right about wiping between shots?

    What top shooters would that be? I have won lots of offhand matches without wiping back in the day, benchrest maybe, but I am not a ML benchrest shooter. Why can't some of you admit what works for some doesn't work for all and let it rest?

    Was Dutch right about wiping between shots?

    Our club passed a rule that we are not supposed to blow down the barrel so dug around the shop and came up with some left-over rubber hose, I think I bought it to replace a gas line on a chevy back in the day, anyway, it was a little thick but that's OK, I used a belt sander and put a 45 degree...

    Another name for #40 drill?

    The Jo-ann's fabric close to me closed, darn it! I knew where the drill cloth was and it was labeled as such and life was good. Today the next closest to me had no idea what I was talking about, had no idea what drill cloth was, but directed me to where they kept their muslin cloth but I did...
