    Black Powder Banned at my Gun Club!

    Yes I own a home in Marlow I just have not been here steady enough to warrant joining. I’m up in the air about retirement here after the spine surgery I had last October that took a lot out of me. Marlow is nice but rural and if you’re healthy fine but between covid and another major spine...

    wasting powder & caps

    Buffalo Arms sells glass vials that fit perfectly into a MTM shell holder that holds 25 vials. I’ve been using them for the last five years and have only broken one so far. They are nice and small and glass is not prone to static discharge. I’ve have actually thrown 5 or 6 in my pocket and have...

    Off hand do you know if they are available in 69 and 75 cals. I bet they work great! Off to the Pro Shot website to see if they carry them! 🙏

    What Brass brush for .54 cal.

    I feel the only time really gets them clean is by using a brush. Using a brush is a pain! lol i think it has grown in popularity amongst people working on rusty cars like my 76 280z. I did some work on it early spring saw it and purchased a can. I did have good success with LPS but I think this...

    BUYER BEWARE - Mntnhntr is a SCAMMER

    Maybe payments need to be made in advance of receipt of the merchandise. I have a bunch of nice smokeless powder rifles and flintlocks I’d like to sell but I’m not a business don’t have a way to accept a Credit Card payment. I’ve been taken before selling some small power tools on Craig list...

    What Brass brush for .54 cal.

    Also I used to be stuck on LPS 2 for corrosion control until I discovered this CorrosionX rust inhibitor, pricey stuff but it works. One maybe two damp not wet patches and i could not be happier.

    What Brass brush for .54 cal.

    I disagree I use boiling water three flushes minimally wiping 3 or 4 times between flushes; one last flush with boiling water brushed with caliber specific bronze or nylon brush and then I wipe it with patches soaked in either the track of the wolf cleaner or T17 wiped until dry. Then I hit each...

    What Brass brush for .54 cal.

    Notice the front of the brush is missing the loop it’s at the back wrapped around the adapter. Five star brushes.

    What Brass brush for .54 cal.

    I’ve used steel wool and scotch brite occasionally but both cut; brushes don’t cut. Pro-Shot brushes don’t unwind either like other brands brushes. They are wound from the feral up. Had it happen to me recently on my smr .45 I used a brush that was laying around and darn thing unwound and it...

    Record cap price

    I failed to mention you have to purchase the prime all separately and if you have the patience for it was originally sold for Preppers that reload 22LR LOL 😂. My son was successful in reloading 22. He was just experimenting; if I’m not mistaken they included a mold. But that’s for another forum...

    What Brass brush for .54 cal.

    Pro Shot sells Black Powder specific bronze brushes for most BP calibers. Black powder in that you can push and pull them unlike smokeless brushes kind of get stuck and when you force them back they lose their effectiveness. I purchase them directly from them and a big bag of their round cotton...

    Record cap price

    Small pistol primers are not cheap either and I would rather save them for my cartridges. I still think for anyone who is stuck purchasing a #10 or 11 percussion cap maker and Prime-All is the way to go. Some hobby shops sell small sheets of copper that I prefer over soda cans or Mcmaster...

    Trigger Sear Arm Height

    Well good news I received the Haines trigger and plate from TOTW and another nice book; The Gunsmith of Greenville County. It has a well written chapter on installing A Traditional Trigger. I find it more comprehensive and detailed than Recreating the American Long Rifle. Before I do anything...

    Trigger Sear Arm Height

    Thanks I’m on hold until this weekend. I’m going look at it all closely. I’m thinking i may be able to remove wood and lower the trigger plate a little further hence lowering the trigger. I will see where it ends up and lastly I going to solder a small piece of steel and see if that gets me...
