    Double Barrel Pistol Restore for shooting

    Scota@4570 had great suggestions and I appreciate other people on Muzzleloading Forum that read and contribute to all the posts on this site. The pistol bores were still ragged looking and had the feel of a rough casting. I put the brass in isopropyl alcohol in a glass container in a water...

    Double Barrel Pistol Restore for shooting

    I found parts for this at Deer Creek Products, very good to order from. I am thrilled to be able to get parts and not have to make them. I have spares too :thumb:

    Double Barrel Pistol Restore for shooting

    Scota@4570, I like Evaporust and have been using it on the 50 Cal rifle rebuild and this pistol. Plus tools and other small parts while I have it out. I started with a plastic lined trough, nicked the plastic, Evaporust all over everything and the floor. Then a pipe with sandwich bag taped...

    Double Barrel Pistol Restore for shooting

    Well those nipples had about a 27 hour soak The right one unscrewed slick as could be with barely a tug on the nipple wrench The left one needed more so I locked it in tighter to the vise so I had better control of the wrench and it unscrewed about 3 turns before it came off easy The nipple...

    Double Barrel Pistol Restore for shooting

    I have had terrific luck on some things with iodine, haven't seen it rust anything before and if it does work it's overnight. I will leave the patina, I like your idea Bores looks like 0.3" so perhaps 36 cal

    Double Barrel Pistol Restore for shooting

    I bought this yesterday and started on it today. Everything came apart well except the nipples so they are soaking in iodine. I took pictures of the parts and pieces as I stripped it down.
