It is your gun, do as you please. Removing a BP when just doing a clean is similar to removing your truck engine so it can be cleaned. It will be cleaned, but is it necessary? Larry

Not me. Why would one do that? Larry

Ok, that sounds good to me I want to try Dawn, but got a question. After about 10 shots (no wiping) my flinters will start breech plug fouling build up. I usually use a scraper on the BP. Any thoughts? Larry

Kit has provided the public with lots of good information on several subjects, but I disagree with not having a liner. There is no doubt in my mind when you have a funnel shaped path inside the barrel, a wider tunnel shortens the 1/16"flash path and end result is quicker ignition time. JMO Larry

No, but thanks anyway. Larry

Flints vary, some are harder than others. To me a good sparking frizzen is the priority. JMTC Larry

If you can get an old leaf spring, that worked for me. Larry

I grind or file my springs. You can thin or narrow the top section. Stay away from grinding the sharp bend on the front end. Never get the spring hotter than your fingers will stand. Always grind length wise. Make sure all scratches are removed. Left in place scratches/gouges 90 deg. to...

Started in the 60s shootin flint. Have several and never had a broken frizzen. Larry

You are incorrect about narrower. Yes narrower from the widened funnel diameter on a TH liner, but not more narrow then the basic 1/16" diameter that usually works the best. That 1/16" is the TH flash hole dimension. The liner's purpose shortens the flash path to the powder, which of course...

You have some good replies already. My two cents: are you sure the 30 grains did not get contaminated or wet? Was the 30 grains maybe spilled and you did not have the full 30? Did you shoot another two or three shots to see if the thump was consistant? Larry
