    Which Longrife to buy

    When I built my SMR, I talked to Kibler but they only went up to .45 cal. I needed 50 minimum for elk hunting should I decide to get that late Cow muzzy tag. I got what I wanted from Pecatonica. Cal, swamped barrel, etc.

    Whoops!

    I converted a Pedersoli pistol to flint and the percussion drum hole was forward like that. I ended up making my own liner out of a bolt. After it was installed, I drill the touch hole at an angle and it is fine now.

    I preparation for the day I dry ball one

    On my flinters, I pack in the powder with a vent pick. I usually only takes a few grains or so and pop. Out comes the ball. The pan probably has almost that much powder. 4F works great. If you want to hassle with a grease gun, air, Co2, puller etc., Go for it. As for a "pipe bomb", that's...

    I preparation for the day I dry ball one

    X2 on feeding powder in the nipple and shooting. I have lost count a long time ago on how many times I have done it. Just make sure the ball leaves the barrel or ram it back down (after adding powder through the nipple) before firing again/ Works on flintlocks too.

    Pedersoli .54 Kentucky Pistol Kit

    I got my what I am pretty sure is a Pedersoli Kentucky pistol over 50 yr=ears ago (1969). It wasn't a kit. I took it apart the other day when I converted it to Flintlock from percussion. I bought a Pedersoli lock from Dixie. The bottom line is it just has the nose cap and tang bolt and has been...

    Slot in middle of hammer

    That's what I was thinking. Rear sight when cocked.

    I'll Never Hear Thunder . . .

    Yeah, always be safe. I have done this with the flinter too. Just kept pushing powder in the touch hole and packing it in until you don't think you can get anymore in. And as was said, make sure it the ball came all the way out or ram it back down.

    I'll Never Hear Thunder . . .

    Before you "submerge" the nipple or introduce water, clear the nipple and push a few grains of powder down it before putting another cap on it. I have never used a bullet puller and don't own one. As most of us have, I have dryballed my share. I have just pushed enough powder in the nipple or...

    Looking to restore a rifle gifted to my Grandfather

    I have an Ultra Hi Kentucky. No patch box. Only a brass plate where a patch box would go. It does have “Ultra Hi” on the barrel.

    Build time

    My "pre carve" kit from Pecatonica took me way north of 100 hours. If you count research between steps and practicing on scrap wood, probably closer to 200+.

    Priming the pan first

    I have this vision of a ramrod fired into the air and coming down like a javelin. Never mind the singed body parts.

    .44 Kentucky pistol Flintlock conversion (Pedersoli?)

    I was thinking since I have to make a vent liner that I would drill the touch hole at an angle so that the outside of it would be more towards the correct location.

    .44 Kentucky pistol Flintlock conversion (Pedersoli?)

    I have a .44 cal. percussion pistol that I got in 1969. I talked my Mom into helping me buy it as they wouldn't sell it to a 15 year old. I got it to use as a back up shot for my 28 gauge percussion shotgun that I hunted rabbit with. They were clearing out their muzzleloader selection at a local...

    Midway

    I actually like Midway and have never had a problem with them and same for Grafs. When I bought my last batch of powder, Midway was out. Not the case now.

    Midway

    OK so $4 a pound more?

    Midway

    But just for you, you can be right. I am wrong
  19. 87TT

    Midway

    Sounds like 4 lbs. at Grafs is still cheaper than 3 at Midway. And FYI, I have both Goex and Grafs/Goex and can't tell the difference.
