    SMR kit

    I was going to do a Kibler SMR but they didn't come in .50 cal so I went with Pecatonica. More work but very satisfied for my first real rifle "kit. "

    Shot weight with a powder measure

    When I bought my first ML shotgun (28 ga) back in '69', I used a sawed off 20 gauge shell for a measure. Equal amounts of each. A friend gave me the idea and it worked fine. Used crumpled paper for wads over and between. Who knew?

    CLOSED >Ball mold for a .44 Pietta revolver.

    Thanks. Not in a rush. Had the gun for about six years and just got the urge to shoot it. Someone may have one they don't need but not going to pay more than retail. Got a little pocket pistol too. I think it's 31 but not sure.

    Stuck ball, now with drill bit

    I have never owned a ball puller. Just shoot it out. Probably done it a 100 times over the years. Flint and percussion. Just push some powder in and go. After you get as much in as you can, shove the ball back down. Of course if you drilled a hole all the way through the ball, then unbreaching...

    Rifle will not fire?

    Before you put any oil or anything in or around the nipple, get a hold of some real Black powder and push as many grains as you can down the nipple with a wire or paperclip etc. Basically prime the nipple. I have done this many times without removing the nipple. Then would find some real black...

    Pedersoli Kentucky pistol.

    Fifty something years ago at the ripe old age of 15, I talked my my mother into buying me a Kentucky pistol.
