    Blown out patches? bore, crown, patching material, lube where to start?

    Hmm this is what I have on hand, no JB bore paste and currently just some red pads think that's safe? also have various grades of sandpaper 220-500-800-1500 and steel wool. I'm slightly hesitant to go out at with any product in fear of damaging the bore. CZ pictured not relevant just on work...

    Bought Brown Bess, NOW I WANT TO SHOOT IT!

    From what I've seen that barrel marking is typical when I looked up other examples of these IMA kits, but I appreciate it from the feedback I've received I'm planning on having it inspected before firing.

    Bought Brown Bess, NOW I WANT TO SHOOT IT!

    I recently purchased this Bess and probably overpaid but I'm a sucker for the historical appeal of the East India markings and I've always wanted a flintlock. The gun seems to be in pretty good shape (repro stock unfortunately) but I'd rather not blow myself up, un advice for getting started? Or...
