I bought a cheap endoscope (less than ten quid) from a well known auction site. 6mm camera produces decent views of the bores. this is the inside of my .577 It has wifi capability so I can view it on my smartphone as well as USB

Thanks everyone. With luck I’ll get to shoot both, spent a couple of hours yesterday casting. Some .36 ball for my new (used) purchase; and some eras gone which I made into paper cartridges for my ROA. Two hours booked on the range for Sunday morning. But as for deciding which one?🤔

I paid about $400 for my PH two Navy two band and consider it a bargain. It shoots better than me!

Thank you👍 luckily the dealer, a personal friend, is meeting me on the range next Sunday. He is going to make me an ‘agent’ so that I can test fire them for him😜

.36 revolver, I have a choice of two. 5 1/2”. Both similar condition bores good. Should I chose Pietta or Uberti, and why please?

Replace it with a plaque of your own perhaps? I wouldn’t recommend sanding it.

On a Royal Navy Ship, HMS Antelope, we visited Oporto. I remember going for a tour of Taylors. They looked after us exceptionally well. Funny - I don’t remember leaving......

White port, chilled, a little cheese, home baked crusty bread, excellent whilst watching a setting sun.

An Aussie firm sells them - I copied this from theirEBay site <TRESO nipples are made from Ampco, a tough alloy with a tensile strength of 118,000 psi, which is tougher than most steels used in muzzleloading barrels. This material provides more resistance to blows from the hammer, and the high...

Why are four of them hobbled? Are they prone to escape? 😘

You may be able to buy balls, I can’t within 200 miles. Postage being what it is I would be trebling, at least, my cost per bang. Here’s a thought. Club doesn’t, bat doesn’t, racquet doesn’t - but gun rhymes with fun.🤗

I have bee looking, in vain so far, for some (pdf I think) documents with lock diagrams in it’s various forms - this would give you an idea of what piece, if any, is missing. I’ll keep looking. S&S firearms in the states carry a lot of parts too, I bought my .577 PH mould from them. TOW site...

What size/weight bullet are you using?

I know it's not HC. I know it doesn't look very tidy. I know there was never a Military Arsenal Making ammunition in Plymouth - Stand Fast Royal William Yard. BUT I dun em' and I don't care .......

The fortieth formula of water displacement liquid is my solution😉

Me too!

I also find that the base plug is slighlt lose in the mould so I shove a piece of metal under the spout and rest the base plug. This does two things, keeps the both the mould and plug in the same position without effort and introduces some consistency.

Lawrence, If the bullets are frosty, mould too hot. Assuming you are pouring from the base then the mould may not be hot evenly from top to bottom and the lead isn't flowing round the base plug. The base plug needs to be the same temperature as the mould otherwise that,if it is reatively...

Thank you, I think, between you, you and Lawrence have shown me the way to go.
