    What is this muzzleloader part called?

    It's the metal part that soldered to the barrel of half-stock rifles that holds short tubes so you can load a ramrod just under the barrel. I had to resolder It and it was a bear of the job.

    What is the name of this part of a rifle?

    I'll try to post this picture: It's the part that is soldered to the barrel to hold the rings/tubes that hold the ramrod. Let me guess at the name: Stuntzel?? LOL I had to solder it back on and it was a b**** of a job.

    What in the world kind of scope or sight is that?

    DuraCoat as a rifle parts finish? (Ducking)

    Yes I agree with you, it's inappropriate for my muzzle loader. If I can't find a way to brown it that agrees with me, maybe I'll save up and have a gunsmith do it for me, or just resort to cold bluing. One of the cold brewing systems I saw on YouTube looks pretty convincing for doing entire...

    Sorry didn't know that.

    Does anybody know this guy?

    I was studying different ways to Brown my barrel, and I found what I would like to do on a YouTube vid. The guy calls himself Isaac Haines of Lancaster County (Pennsylvania), after the famous Isaac Haines of the 1700s. It might be a stage name for his video. He has a pretty strong German accent...

    Hunting in California the snti-lead state.o

    I appreciate the advice to leave California but I'm stuck here by fragile finances and fear of real weather. Plus I'm a stalwart anti-lawbreaker and I'm a really bad liar and if I got stopped and questioned with a lead ball stuffed in my barrel, carrying a few bismuth balls, my body language...

    This is a cross post about the DuraCoat finish.

    I think I have to duck to even mention this to you guys. It seems so weird to actually paint a gun or rifle. If you haven't cursed me by now, I'll go on to say that DuraCoat is a two-part system so it must be some kind of epoxy formula, but it goes on very thin and the solvents flash off in...

    DuraCoat as a rifle parts finish? (Ducking)

    I've been studying the various ways that I can hot rust brown, cold blue, hot blue, parkerize, and I guess that's about it as far as I know. But then I found a piece on DuraCoat on YouTube. It's a two-part system so it must be some kind of epoxy, but it's very thin and has solvents flash off...

    Hunting in California the snti-lead state.o

    I I decide I want to hunt this fall, since I can't use lead balls, what are guys using instead? Kevlar patch and a ball bearing LOL ? Maybe I can experiment with shooting crossbow bolts.

    Victory with my troubled Lock and triggers.

    I agree with Semisane, blue Locktight is needed here. As you, Bubba, also indicated. I'll have Rusty the locally famous muzzle-loader gunsmith do that. I seriously don't want to take apart or take any screws out of this lock. Rusty's fee will be worth it. He will also assess the hexagonal...

    Victory with my troubled Lock and triggers.

    I was holding the lock in my hand looking hard at it trying to find anything that might be wrong like I've done several times before. Then it hit me: what if some of those tiny screws are loose? I found a butter knife with a thin enough end that it could turn some of those screws. Sure enough...

    Anybody heard of a .6115 bore?

    Interesting suggestion, but this rifle has a 1 and 60 twist. I know better than to ask this, but is it possible this rifle could shoot a skirted ball well? Maybe the odd octagonal rifling could work with a mini? Still, I have to show it to Rusty.

    Anybody heard of a .6115 bore?

    "is it a real gun meant to charged and fired?". Damn good question. I'm going to have Rusty look at it before I buy any balls or molds. Although, I have fired it about 100 times, but you never know this gun is so weird I might have survived by sheer luck. You guys come up with really great...

    Cast your own, shrinkage?

    I respect the opinions of the men and women of this forum much more than I trust my own guesses. That cinches it, I'll start with a . 600 mold.
