First off, I do not have the skills and more importantly the tools and with a pending move (post-divorce) will hold off on purchasing tools until after the move, so I will have a gunsmith do the barrel work for me. Basically, looking at purchasing an Investarms Gemmer Plains Rifle Flintlock...

Okie Hog, I used the sight but got a message of "No product was found for the SKU you entered." Is there another SKU or did you accidently type the wrong number / transpose it incorrectly? I do that with numbers at times myself.

I have a new in box 1858 Uberti that I purchased from Midway back in February. Unfortunately, it has sat in be box since receiving it due to ... you guessed it, the supply shortages. Decided to pull the 1858 out and leather working tools and leather to finally start on the holster, belt, and...

Yeah, but Pedersoli will probably use the same cheap-assed 1:48 twist that they ruin every other rifle that should have a 'true' PRB / slow twist barrel .....

maillemmaker, So, the enfield paper cartridge is not allowed in the N-SSA matches? If not, that is quite odd as there were millions, if not tens-of-millions of those cartridges fired during the War of Northern Aggression. Thank you for the info about being able to shoot lubed Minnes over...

Stantheman86, the Mississippi is still in their catalog, as of 2022. Hopefully they do not drop it as it is a really sharp looking rifle. Also, as to your rifle ... Do you lube your Minne bullets? If so, how may rounds are you able to shoot before you have to swap / wipe the bore? Have...

1841 Mississippi. Odd, I just checked the site and both are now the same price, though the Dixie (Pedersoli) is a .54 and Pedersoli is a .58. Eventually looking to pick up two to play with ... one to add the front and rear sights as used on the Zouave to research and use .54 Burton/Minne...

I have been looking for a certain rifle for a while now (availability) and Dixie Gun Works seems to be about the only option. While they do have a Pedersoli in the model I want (just different caliber), there is also a Dixie model, made by Pedersoli, also available. The only difference that...

Apples and Oranges ..... with Apples being PRB rifling vs. Oranges being rifling more suited for lead bullets of the Minie/Burton or Prichartt type. The rifling depth, around .010 +/-, on Hawken type rifles (Apples) is different than the depth of the musket 'type' rifling, which are around...

And THIS is what I want and what I'm talking about. I have a .50 caliber GPR that I bought while deployed in 2012 and I do love it. I have really become enamored with the 1841 Mississippi and I am interested in that rifle as a PBR rifle, as it was manufactured ORIGINALLY, which was with a PBR...

The difference, as I understand it, is the depth of the rifling. Marshall's is .005 depth. I bet your Renegade is .010 or .012 in depth.

Thanks for the reply marshall. The problem is that I cannot find any information as to what the rifling depth is on the Pedersoli rifle. IF it is the same as on your Euroarms, that would be, I believe, a great set up for experimentation with a modified (.50 caliber version) of the Pritchett...

Is there no one out there in the forums that has the Pedersoli 1841 Mississippi in 54 caliber that has tried / shot it with PRBs?

Amen Hawk78. Pedersoli really P1$$ me off when they took over the GPR and put a 1:48 barrel on the .50 caliber rifle versus keeping it at the 1:60 that it had. Too bad that Pedersoli did not offer the 1841 Mississippi .54 caliber rifle with a true PRB twist like it originally had ....

Roger that. I am aware of the .58 caliber that Pedersoli offers with a 3 groove 1:72 twist. I am thinking of eventually getting one and either having it modified with a set of Enfield P1858 rifle sights. If it doesn't shoot well enough I will try to have it re-barreled with a 5 groove 1:48...

I've read through several pages of older posts regarding the 1841 Mississippi rifle, but I did not see any information that covered my questions. I did read that the different manufacturers (Repos) seem to have different rifling / twist rates and many references to Euroarms rifles. I have...

Same here hanshi. Thank you for the info hawkeye2, I figured the same but was just checking.

Just read the "Goex is a Go!" thread and unfortunately is has been closed so I cannot ask a question there. Not sure if I missed the information as a certain individual de-railed the thread and then nuked the train ..... :doh:, Was there a date mentioned as to when new powder will begin...

Bullet (Ball) Poker (5 card stud) (Note: This is a Slooow game, especially with muzzleloaders, and will take some time for everyone to get their shots off, but allows for a lot of time for everyone to josh, talk smack, laugh with and at each other) 1. Take a deck of cards, shuffle them, and...

Pretty obvious with the file marks and the lines on the barrel, loading lever, and the back of the pistol grip that indicate what looks like sandpaper being used to 'wear down the finish'. I sent him a message telling him that it is an obvious fake and that being so informed that if the sale...
