New Price. $390 shipping included to lower 48.

Received a new (to me) Lancaster style flintlock and the length of pull is useable for me but I am thinking of increasing the LOP a bit. A friend recommended cutting some boot felt to match the butt and covering it with leather, to make it look more period correct. Anyone have any photos of...

This is a Lyman factory rifle, not a kit.

Canute, Great....50/50 seems to be the standard to go by. Time to shoot....they are saying spring is actually arriving!! :wink:

I am not positive but I believe the "K" in the serial number refers to it being a kit, that someone has put together. This is what I was told years ago. Welcome.

JCB, thanks to you as well. I have some bees wax and will be mixing some up today. Great to hear about the no swabbing needed. I prefer to shoot that way.

Hey Canute, how ya been? Do you mix your oil and wax 50/50 by liquid volume, or weight? Sounds like you are getting that .54 matchlock where you want it.

BBear... I put some in a Baggie last night and am set to try them out!! Thanks.

To any of you that use olive oil to lube your felt wads in your guns.....how do you apply the oil? I am punching out wads from Durofelt and was thinking of putting a bunch into a mason jar and shaking them around a bit. Trying to get an idea of how long to "saturate" them. I would like them...

Like Claude said....beware of taking online advice...best to call proper authorities if you are uncertain. That said, we ship BP longrifles here in NYS all the time, within and out of state. Now if you are referring to NYC, then that is a whole different situation. We do not need permits here...

Hi Dutch, I bought your excellent work several years ago and would really like to have the e-book if still available. Thanks for putting it out there. I find I go back to it from time to time just to refresh my memory on some stuff. Rick Rodgers Rome, NY

Caroga still has woodwalks, I think the third Sunday morning each month thru April. Also, if you go on Facebook, check NYSMLA ( NYS muzzleloaders Assoc.) and under the calendar you should see some events. The last Group Tightner listed a contact for Caroga F&G club as Chester Burch (518) 463-3952

Hey, that sure would be a neat looking looong squirrel gun. The weight of that thing is amazing for one so long.

Thank you very much. Checked TOTW and it is all there.

Planning a squirrel rifle build --- .40 caliber barrel in either 3/4 or 13/16 flats. The length will be anywhere from 36 to 39 inches long. I am trying to find the actual weight of several barrels to determine a comfortable offhand rifle weight.....without getting a swamped barrel. Does...

Great info and thanks for the link too. Lots of good suggestions on it.

Hi, interested in your post on using Spanish moss. Can I ask how you use it. Is it as a "patch" or over ball as a wad,,or something else? Lubed in any way? Also, Spanish moss not readily available up here I don't believe. Any substitute ideas?? Thank you, very curious.

Just wanted to pass along some information on this original post. After communicating with CCI and sending them a tin to examine, they requested all tins be returned to them. They replaced the tins plus all postage and were actually more than fair in this dealing. The original post never...

I have always used CCI #11 caps with no problems. However, recently I opened a new tin and found that 56 of the caps would not fit the nipple --- too small. I tried 2 new nipples (as well as a friends 2 guns with #11 nipples) and the same results. Unfortunately this was the very first time I...
