I just got a Pietta 51 Navy from Taylor's. I shopped for a while, and it was the only steel blued .36 with 7.5 inch barrel I could find. It's funny that after shooting BP for 40 years the only thing I have that works with a revolver is a loading stand and powder measure since I bought Pyrodex P...

YouTube has a history of everything you watched. That's the easiest way to refind something.

I guess I'm different. I'm right handed and wear my bag on the right but horn on the left. Some how it's more comfortable having the measure in my right hand and horn in my left.

BatjackJW on YouTube has a few videos about this.

There are numerous YouTube videos about makingyour own caps. Some guys have experimented with about every possible combination.

There are as many cleaning methods as shooters. Plain water works fine. It looks like your pistol has a hooked breech. If it does. Remove the nipple and the barrel. Put the breech end in a container of water and pump water through it with a patch on a jag. Some people use brushes, but they can...

On the Hawkin shop website I think they have pictures from their old print catalog. It has pictures of a number of Hawkins. Some of them don't look anything like what we think of as a Hawkin rifle.

I like just a plain round ball. I'm too lazy to make anything fancy.

$6.25 an ounce makes $25.45 a pound look pretty cheap.

Why would a lib's eyes melt? I assume you meant that as a slur. I'm a lib, and I think it's cool.

There are lots of YouTube videos about making your own caps. Some seem to work pretty well.

I just cook bacon for breakfast every morning in mine.

My first flint lock build has the problem of the front lock bolt interfering with the ram rod. I tapered the ram rod and filed away about half the thickness of the bolt to get it to work. Of course the ramrod will only go all thevvway in if the bolt is properly positioned.

I have 3 pistols ( not revolvers) that I take to the range. I just put them in socks to protect them. Tbere has to be a better way.

I, like a lot of guys here got started pre-internet. I also didn't know anyone who shot muzzle loaders. I just read everything I could find. You will quickly learn if you spend much time on this forum that there are a lot of not wrong ways to do things. Every gun is different and every shooter...

My first build was an attempt at making a Dickert rifle. My patchbox is like that but not engraved. Thanks for the pictures.

Pretty much any 1/4 x28 nipple will work. A lot of guys like the bronze Tresso ones. I use hot shot ones that have little holes in the sides. The stock ones work fine orTC wouldn't have used them. Don't worry about platinum lining.

Mountain Man shop in Manatou Springs has BP.

It would go well with a pirate costume or fun for kids to play with.

I keep my old Goex cans. I cut a hole in the top and soldered a cut off 223 cartridge to it. Works great to fill a horn or pour into a measure with zero spilling or mess.
