That is true.

Or throw rocks at your soon to be ex friend.....

Spot on. In my 60's, still weightlift, still ride a bicycle daily. Smoked a pipe for 25 years now, enjoy it very much.

Huge, huge mega difference between smoking pipes and cigarettes. Huge difference, not the same thing at all.

Pretty cool! Thanks for posting!

Cleaned with spit or water when needed. Oil with fat or lard from a meal.

They are about the least expensive flintlock you can buy. A cheap flintlock isn't worth the trouble. Good locks cost good money.

It's simple to do: you file each cone one at a time to achieve proper clearance.

On a properly set up revolver the hammer never touches the nipple: there is just enough clearance to detonate the cap.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a percussion kit from Mr. Kibler.....

A number of folks at a match I shoot at in Ohio (New Frontiersmen, Ashland OH) smoke pipes and commiserate when they have finished shooting.

The last one they made for me was $40.

A fellow who restored many old original rifles often removed small screws frozen from rust by soaking the parts in water. He would say "water put the rust there and water will remove it." Doing this enabled him to disassemble original locks and re-use the original screws.

Calling is best. Ask for Tom.

I try to smoke every day but sometimes I don't have the time. Just finished some Dunhill Flake in a fine old Barling. Awesome!

The gunsmith at The Log Cabin in Lodi OH can replace the spring for you at reasonable cost.

WD 40 is an excellent choice to use after cleaning a barrel: water displacing, and unless the arm is put away for an extended period it works just fine. I use Burchwood Casey Barricade because it too is water displacing, but is better for long term storage.

Old guns were used until no longer serviceable, then the parts were often used to build new rifles.

Flush with water and clean the chamber with a shotgun cleaning mop.

I last shot there in 1994.
