    CVA Flintlock ignition issues

    No brush. May get stuck. Simple wipe or even one of those bore mops for a modern gun. Down and back. I also put a patch on my ramrod while i am loading. As I push the ball down the patch cleans up some of the crude in the barrel before you shoot. While you are loading might as well clean...

    Blue balls

    When i cast I use two molds in the winter and 3 or 4 in the summer to let nature cool down the molds. Can go through a lot of lead that way quick. Like 200 plus round ball an hour with 2 cavity molds. Many more when I use my 480 and 390 six cavity molds! After say 3 loadngs for each mold I...

    Yea, you? They turned it over th USPS for shipping. What can dixie do? Sender will make it right once claims are final. I would not get involved either until the USPS is done. So dixie calls the USPS and they all say yep stuck somewhere. What more you want? Read it again.

    Gun Lost :’(

    How is this Dixie's fault? Think the package is still sitting on their loading dock? They will get involved when they need to get involved. But really, the post office loses track of a package and it is Dixie's fault.

    Might have a ball stuck...

    If not successful with that another way is take the lock off, if can remove the touchhole liner, put a patch puller, ball puller screw something on the ramrod and stick it down the barrel. If clear, flashlight will show the end of the ramrod and good to go.

    Might have a ball stuck...

    Measure with your ramrod. Stick the ramrod down the barrel, mark where the ramrod ends inside the barrel, remove and place on the outside of the barrel. If the ramrod gets to the touchhole most likely empty.

    converting a flintlock musket to percussion at home?

    I applaud your desire to reenact. My advice given your age is to work on your kit. Clothes, shoes uniform etc. Keep in mind you are 16? And will continue to grow a bunch. Go to the nssa site and search for a local unit down where you live and email them looking for guidance and mentor...
