    What Part Of Clean It Now Don't You Understand?

    I most always clean my muzzleloaders the same day that I shoot them. At the very latest I do it the next day, but that is a rarity for me.

    What to do in between hunts....

    I learned from my dad to always let any gun stand upside down overnight after you clean and lubricate it. It doesn't matter what era the gun is from. Then, when I take that gun out to shoot it, I run a dry patch down the barrel. I usually snap a cap on my muzzleloaders too. I have had very few...

    Question about self priming and unreliable ignition.

    If you don't put oil in your barrel maybe you have rust blocking the flash hole.

    #11 Caps

    I understand what you are saying. If I drop a cap I have crawled around on the hard, cold, concrete floor until I find it.

    Single stock for Kentucky Rifle

    It would never look like a one-piece stock. The only way you might accomplish that would be to apply the wooden plug, sand everything down and fill it with wood putty. Then you might sand it even. However, it would still show and when/if you stained the wood the wood putty would never look like...

    Be careful with Black Powder...You never know!

    I know he returned to England. This could be the reason why. John Rolfe told Pocahontas that Smith had died so she would marry him. Sometime later Rolfe and Pocahontas went to England, and she learned the truth. She was very upset but remained with her husband.

    Hawken accuracy problem

    I have a Pedersoli, Hawken 45 caliber rifle. I increased my accuracy after playing with different powder charges, different sized round balls and different patches. At this point I am getting very good accuracy with 40 grains of Goex FFF, a .445 round ball, and .012 pillow tick patches. (This is...

    Charles Villwock Percussion Target Rifle Toledo Ohio 1879

    I don't know anything about this trigger, but I wanted to share an experience I had years ago. I was restoring an old percussion rifle. The trigger did not work. I could not determine the problem. I took the trigger assembly totally apart, photographing each step. When I was done, I cleaned the...
