    Joy to the eyes

    Guys they shoot fabulous. Easier to load and need no wadding. The paper cartridge bundles up as you push it in. The KNO3 has been used as "flash powder" by magicians, and it burns the thin paper I use complete. I just read up on them from the old days and got around to trying them out and was...

    Black powder BOOM

    There were flecks and residue all inside the tube and around the connections and when one went of it all interconnected and travelled by heat and fire up tube and all around the connection to the main powder. Just a fluke Murphy's law in action.

    Black powder BOOM

    Flask had about 1/4 black in it made quite a splash. Here boys I know you like pics so there is an example of Murphy at his best. There were also around 30 rounds of paper cartridges that vanished leaving on balls in the box. So TAKE CARE with black.

    By the way those little flecks of Black can be dug out or pricked out with a nice small needle. I know I have picked a couple of them out. Enjoy the shooting life. If you are cheap and bother saving them they still shoot lololol

    Rolling papers for combustible cartridges?

    I have a 44 Rem and use 28 grains. I have the balls and cigarette papers(RAW or a similar thin paper) loaded and ends are twisted and I put a tiny dab of glue from a solid glue stick . Just a touch this keeps the twist firm and solidly closed. In the third pic you can see tubes loaded with black...

    There were many engravers in 1800 era and even though it looks rough to us (by newer standards) a country engraver would have been a special worker and his work however rough would have been cherished. Decorative art went through many forms and there were many grades of workers . This rough...

    Starr riflestock attachment

    Perfect I did not even think of that. I guess a wood stock could be with a similar locking screww. That is neat thanks for info. I may even try to make one or get a buddy with a shop and welding. Your pic looks like the plate on my gun and has a small taper. Thanks for info
