J B Weld would be ok, but any good quality epoxy material would work. You can dye it, and also mix fine sanding dust from other gunstocks in the epoxy, to kind of reinforce it. I just recently built a Pedersoli Penn Rifle flinter kit .50 cal, and did the whole barrel. Just be sure to use a...

I would just glass bed it. Dye the bedding. After assembly it will be un-noticable. Easy Peasy. Dave

I'll catch it for saying this, but I glass bed all my Barrels. Dave

Thats good news. Waiting to see the results of your Bess charge ALL the best Dave

I hunt deer with 50 grns of 3f in my muskets. Bambi dosn't like it. Dave

Lots of people in the NSSA use any where from 35-50 grns of blk powder, in thier .58 muskets, and get the job done. Dave

All that cap flash has to go somewhere. It can't all go thru the tiny hole in the nipple. Sounds normal to me. Dave

Accurate 5547 is not meant to be used in muzzle loaders. It might not be on the web sight, because Accurate powdewrs was bought out by Horady Family a couple years ago.Hornady might have discontinued it. Dave

If you get it to light, you will get hammer blow back, when you fire a load with a projectile in it. Dave

UHM....... Smoke good. Dave

TDM Amen,its what works for you. Dave

All you can do is get on your phone and call all the gun stores/sports stores in your area. Dont be surprised if some of them mix "real black" up with pyrodex, or worse yet dont know what it is. In order for a store to sell black powder, they have to have a "magazine" so big, and so many feet...

I, agree. Supplies from Europe are going to get scarcer. The supplies of popular revolverfrom both Uberti, and Pietta are drying up. lots of Pedersoli rifles, are non-existant. I have been watching one, but don't want to spend the money at present. We will just have to make do with what we have...

I do the same on my percusion guns. Remove the BBL, remove the nipple, place it , and the BBl in a 5 Gal plale of hot soapy water. then pump out the BBl, clean the nipple with a brass brush, and pipe cleaner dry it, and use copper anti sieze on the threads. Then snug it back in the BBL. It works...

I have never used it. I think it is what Kibler recommmends on thier stocks, you might call them, and ask. Dave

SO............You guys that shoot with a rear peep sight............. What is a good diameter, for the arpeture,?? I have been experimenting with them on my CW Muskets, and am thinking of drilling it out bigger. At present i have an arpeture of .072 inch. I am thinking of taking it out to .090...

I use cheap brass brushes, also to clean my files. The file dosn't know wheather the card $1.00, or $15.00. I take care of my files so they work for me. Dave

A Pedersoli, being an Italian gun, will have a date code stamped on the barrel. Usually a sqaure box with 2 letters in it. The newer Italian made guns also have a regular date code on them, next to the box. Dave

Ive allways had very good luck, and usage from Tresso nipples, in my Muskets. These are the brass colored nipples, made from what I think they call ampco. I don't think you would gain anything by changing to a nipple that fires # 10, or #11 caps. you would be fumbling to cap it more likley...

Sixgun I did the same, built a Richmond Carbine with a Harmon/Large bbl, and sold my Original Smith. Wish I would have kept the Smith tho, It was a good shooter. Jerry Harmon did not want to cut down a rifle bbl to make a carbine bbl, but he finally did. Thier are not many Richmond Carbines...
