    Tell me of your cleaning rituals

    I see no need in boiling locks. I agree with you about the rust, etc. I just scrub mine with a toothbrush, soap and tap water, then dry. ( Occasionally using a hair dryer to dry ) I squirt a little fresh 10W-30 motor oil on the main moving parts & put it back together. They all work fine for me.

    Smoothbore Shooting undersize balls for accuracy ...??

    I'm not sure I could hit the target at 50 yards out with those smaller balls...!! You fellows would be sorely disappointed if I tried this same experiment at 50 yards.

    Missouri Chert Flint verses English Flint. Which is more reliable ?

    It took a while to "clean" out that barrel afterwards... Rich Pierce use to make mO cherts. He doesn't make them anymore to my knowledge... Maybe someone else will take up the craft & start making them. Thanks for watching...

    Missouri Chert Flint verses English Flint. Which is more reliable ?

    It is good to be back after taking last weekend off. Mrs Maniac and I spent last weekend at the Kalamazoo ( MI ) Living History Show. We even spent a few hours with one of my favorite cousins I haven't seen in 10+ years. This week's video features a test between a Missouri Chert Flint an a...

I won't post this Sunday because Mrs. Maniac and I are going to the Kalamazoo Show this weekend. That show has been on my bucket...

    CCI Caps - CCI reply regarding availability

    Looking at this from the company's point of view..... Why would CCI or Remington care about making #11 caps when they have lots of modern day shooters begging for primers to reload modern shells. Those manufacturers can ( and probably are already ) keeping their assembly lines running 24/7 and...
