    Oh and, there is nothing wrong with learning the complete description of what you need at McMaster, then searching Amazon or EBay with that description :)

    DOES IT EVER GET CLEAN?

    Overcleaning a muzzleloader probably reduces its life by hundreds of years. You should really consider storing your muzzleloader in a nitrogen atmosphere as well.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Installed new hand (I would call it a pawl but whatever). Removed burrs everywhere. It is working pretty good mechanically now. The wedge was just awful to put in and take out and I fixed that just by removing raised edge burrs. I cleaned much of it in the ultrasonic cleaner using isopropyl...

    So Re: cleaning - Does anyone use an ultrasonic for handgun cleaning?

    If you search in Percussion Rifles on this forum for Whitmore, Duff, Wolff & Co. You will see where I used an ultrasonic cleaner on the lock and trigger without damage to the patina I was using lab grade isopropyl alcohol in a glass container in the water bath tank If you want to get into...

    Cold Snap (another tale of suffering)

    An excellent writing of a length in a forum I usually blow on by. But this put me into the experience fully immersed. That is true talent to be able to express in an easy reading way. Bravo

    Which state is the best for ML?

    By God man if I were up there with ya you could count on my help don't say a word. Maine people can make something work and work well and your barn shows that ability. You could bury it under ground and they could dig it up in a century and just marvel at it. It looks just terrific Keep...

    Help me with the scale of this cannon

    A model only, do not load it. There are many safe cannons to shoot for an inexpensive price. This will make a fine model.

    Ball Pullers

    It would make sense to me to drill a starter hole in the stuck ball so the ball remover could get a good hold.

    Those smiles say it all. May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving :)

    Fair asking price? TC Hawken kit

    I don't think the prices have hit peak yet judging from how fast junk I wouldn't buy sells hours later. Just a kit gun is running $500 and frequently out of stock. I would price it at $490 check or money order (or even better Walmart to Walmart CASH). Buyer pays freight. It won't be in your...

    We had a good time

    I would like to travel from Pensacola Florida to up to 600 miles to see cannon shoots. Public or private with invite. So if anyone wants to share please post about it or send me a Private Message. I agree with SwanShot Dave

    Lead casting, flux, temp, etc

    Let me be on the side of caution for the younger people learning how to handle lead. Ignore the posts that say how safe it is to handle lead, Take every safety precaution you can to protect your body. Live a long healthy life while having as much fun as you can.
