    DIY cleaning patches

    DIY cleaning patches

    I go to Joann's after Christmas and buy the Christmas print flannel that is marked down. I don't worry about cleaning patches being 100% cotton as you can see many others don't either and I sure don't worry about the thickness.

    Failed to fire, how to best extract or remove .50 sabot and 100 grain load?

    Is this gun an inline? If it is a traditional side hammer the pellets won't work.

    In the don't discuss modern style guns on this forum. If you are using pellets did you put them in with the ignitor pad down. I thought one of the alleged big advantages of these things was it was so easy to p I ll the breach plug.
