    Can "they" hear me? Do "they" care?

    Was just kidding with all that... The Oyster Rolex is a very good watch and about the "Tourbillon" it's an old love story: professional deformation in a way... Since I started my training as a watchmaker, I literally fell in love with Louis Abraham Bréguet's invention... The "caroussels" and the...

    Anyone here ever use a lager bore ML for small game hunting

    Beware of wild snails or racing snails, otherwise, you won't have time to reload and some have horns... You know what: some of them manage to climb on the wheels of my car... 😆

    Can "they" hear me? Do "they" care?

    The eternal choice between performance and elegance... ;) Did you know that a Jaeger-LeCoultre "Spherotourbillon" is far superior to a Rolex? On the other hand, we always say, since one of our presidents a little show-off and spendthrift: "If at fifty, you don't have a Rolex, you missed your...

    Matchlock cord not igniting powder?

    This saltpeter is good. It works fine (click on it), don't you can get it in the USA? Did that video the last year: Sorry for the bad American subtitles.

    Chain fire!!

    In sixty-five years of shooting, I have never had a single chain fire (maybe the chance), the exact opposite of hang fire... Some questions you should ask yourself: - What is the size of the caps for the nipples (#10 or #11 and the size of the nipples)? - Diameter of the nipple holes? - New or...

    Too much fire?

    No, it's just like shooting in the black night effect, 15 grains of 3Fg isn't too much: I shoot this volume in 4Fg with a Remington Belt and 20 grains of 3Fg with an NMA...

    Can I mix powder?

    A long time ago I did a lot of shots with 4Fg in a Remington NMA, only with 15 grains (never talk about: a lot of people here don't like much 4Fg) for a question of accuracy. After that, the 4Fg had become too expensive, so I began to buy 3Fg, which was largely better and for only 20 grains. Now...

    You too? That makes me pleasure, you know what: "at age 75 I do not run at all". So I feel as if I weren't alone. :rolleyes:

    Yes, and it's a good thing... :D

    Can I mix powder?

    Of course, in the absolute, you could do it without any danger, but you would necessarily have irregular and erratic shots: the granulations mix would be constant from one shot to another, and thus the pressures and speeds. This would be very detrimental to the accuracy and regularity of the shot...

    Anyone here ever use a lager bore ML for small game hunting

    I always thought you could shoot almost anything with anything... For example, if you find yourself face to face with a not-too-mean or too-angry squirrel you can always shoot it with a .54 caliber..... but don't miss because when a squirrel is angry, it can be very mean, he haves teeth and it...

    What is this long barrel monstrosity ??

    Here in Absurdistan, the most common name for this type of weapon is usually "poacher's pistol". Perhaps simply because nobody knows the exact origin and they are often made of various unidentifiable parts with always a long barrel... I think that by the times which run and the fashion effect...

    1858 Remington (which one)

    I have three Remington NMA .44 cal. guns, an Artax Match (matte black), a Hege Match (blued), and a Pietta (stainless steel). The Artax cost me a bit (~800 bucks) and the Pietta about 200 (that was a while ago). I did a lot of competitions with the Artax and at the same time, I prepared the...

    Look what i got!!

    And the diameter of the black zone is almost what size? Our targets are Ø of 8" black central round, with zones of 1.00". The total Ø for one single whole target (white+black) is 20" (X 2 targets for matches and challenges) at 25 and 50 meters (the same target for 27 yards pistols and 55 yards...

    Look what i got!!

    @nwpahunter415. Can you help me: here, (I live in Ansurdistan) we don't have that type of target: only round targets C50 MLAIC at 50 yards (50 meters in fact), so, what is the size of this one: I'm very interested in this type of targets...

    Gun Flints

    Yes, that can well, but only after having learned how to fit the flint correctly, that is the most important before changing the lock when beginning flint shooting…
