Beretta 12ga under over?

I pour boiling water down the bore till it runs out clear. Swab the bore with oiled patches once it’s cool enough to handle, wipe it down with a silicone rag. Done

Pm sent, recovering from my 3rd cancer surgery, I got lots of time

If I could find the flintlock version of that I would have exactly what I want

This was my solution, uses the same screws as the factory sight so I can change it back should I want too.

I’m kind of in the same place.

Wow, I built my first rifle from a dusty old kit missing a couple of parts and directions. Since I didn’t really know what I was doing I think I did ok. I think it came out better then the factory rifle I acquired a couple of years later. It’s been a great partner in the field for 20 some years...

Won’t be anytime soon, still working on getting past the last surgery

As soon as get my hands on one I’ll experiment with you

It really depends on how your stock was finished to start with as to the best way to maintain it. If it has one of the polymer type finishes, oil will not do much for you because the wood is sealed, good ole butcher paste wax is good for everything. If your stock is oil finished, it's best to...

I'm not sure either, I don't know enough yet. I do know I would like to do a lot more. Thanks again

Thanks to Brokenknock I got to shoot a flintlock for the first time today I

Super huge thank you, that was awesome. The search begins.

Thanks, afternoon is usually best, mid week is fine, I'm not really working so I'm pretty flexible

Hoping for a huge favor. Due to my third round with cancer, it doesn't look like I'll be getting a flintlock. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to shoot one, I have powder, .45, .50 and .54 ball and patch. If your near the NW corner and would be willing please contact me, my club is...

The most loaded question on the forum. I pour boiling water down the barrel when I get home, couple of wet patches, couple of dry patches, couple oil patches

About the same way I ended up with my .54 Renegade. Traded a break action 30-30 single shot for an unfired with a T/C Tang peep sight. Mine came with the plastic but plate, I changed it out for the metal and refinished the stock, took a little of the extra wood off, added a T/C patch box ( I...

I never really worried about "stocking up", just sort of "oh cool, caps on clearance, grab 3 or 4 tins" powder, when I started it was so much cheaper to just get a case, patch material, Joann's has some killer 60% off coupons, 4 yards lasts a really long time. Kind of like being a carpenter for...

When I started I got a 15 min lesson, fired 2 shots and was on my way. I went through the "chemistry set" patch lube and going through a bolt of fabric every time I went to the range with my box of stuff. At some point I discovered I wasn't having fun, and I really didn't think they were doing...
