its faster and easier to load because there is less cleaning involved between shots, less resistance from the fouling when loading. plus I can tie a cartridge wih op, 1/2" fiber wad ball and an os card on top. thear the cartridge from the bottom, put into muzzle and push with my thumb... then...

I too ahve a WM moore in need of loving, yours looks great compared to mine. I ahve several guns with a "rougher bore" i just shoot them bare ball...sometimes i clean them with a nylon brush... tbut they shoot just t he same.

have you tried shooting a bare ball with a fiber wad and os card? ive tried several combos.... involving os cards, op cards, and fiber wads...they all perform about t he same. I can shoot to about 50yards accuratley for deer hunting or about 70 yards for "minute of man" . In one gun and I...

I picked up a sxs in decent shape. The barrels are pretty nice except for a small ding about 3 inches from the muzzle in one barrel. I would like to shoot this gun. It has damscus barrels, and the dent does appear inside the bore as a small rib like protrusion...I know that often they are not as...

this si why i only use a cleaning JAG same happened to myself. what a pain in the arse.

You ahve 3000 in refunds waiting? No one has said it yet. sit on the money and get it back. for 3,000 dollars you can buy on fine full custom rifle made to order for you. I know several people who can build you something far nicer than you will ever see from a factory made. and it could cost...

I disagree on the leading issue. I have been shooting nothing but bare ball for over two years. I have no leading whatsoever in my barrels. also, its a smoothbore , if there was leading it would have zero effect on accuracy and the amount of leading required to affect loading would be...

in my trials i ahve found one very important factoid. Yes you can load a bare ball on podwer, but you suffer serious performance/ power issues. for ease of use I actually load my powder, 2 OS cards, bare ball and then a third OS card to keep it all together. I get just as good accuracy as if i...

I would ask myself this, are you able to cock it ? does it beat up flints? does it throw sparks? if you can cock it, it doesnt beat up flints and it throws a good spark why mess with it. I have some flintlocks that i can cock with one finger, and others that i have to use a fist to open...

I shoot what works, and in my .62 fowler using two OS cards over 76gr 3f with a plastic shot cup filled with #5 copper plated topped with another OS card....well it works I can get kiiling patterns to 40 yards. and my bore looks just as shiny as they it was new......just my two cents

I needed to put a new front sight on my fowler. My soldering skills are seriously lacking, so I used JB weld. held tight as can be and when it was time to take it off and solder it properly it came right off with a torch

personally i think 36-44 inch length all shoot about the same. its the person at the trigger, and how much time you spend practicing to be more accurate. allbut 1 of my fowlers have 48" or longer barrels. because i like the look. but i dont shoot them any more accuartly than my pedersoli NW...

Just My two cents, but all of the "gear" in the starter kit is probably stuff you will outgrow sooner than later. I started with one of those kits, caught the flintlock bug and wanted the stuff everyone else had. for $100 you can get the same stuff in the kit but in better quality and more...

Getting ready for turkey season, thought id show my new Knife and Axe. Knife is a woodbury style by Mike Davis and the Axe is by Josh Wrightsman.

I had a .50 flint . I dont recall where it was made. it was pretty enough and i got it for a good deal . But i dont think it was a great gun unless i put somne money into it. I had many cracking issues with the stock, partly due to poor wood and also to poor fitting of the breech. the lock had a...

I tell ya carp, there is not a finer man than him . That I would entrust to build me a gun. Ive had several "economy builders" build me a gun. And he is by far the most talented. plus i only have to drive an hour and I can see my babies being born lol

we should get together and shoot sometime! id love to give that a go...
