I have an 1863 Bridesburg with a Navy Arms barrel, installed in the 90’s. Lock and stock original. Shoots minies or patched round ball equally.

Next time, be sure to hit the “FAT” icon when choosing candles! Did my best, but failed, almost shot an 0, but fate prevailed! Scored me a deuce!

Pedersoli contacted me and said they would be replacing the sight. Maybe customer service is not dead!

Through a mishap, the rear sight on my Hatfield got damaged. Ordered a new one via Pedersoli sine their Frontier mirrors the Hatfield. Waited over 3 months for it. It came packaged in a undamaged bubble wrap envelope, within a stiff cardboard shipping sleeve. This is what I received. I have...

You’ll have to remove the comb on top of the stock. I had one, a 50 cal., got a slight black eye everytime I shot it for any long period. Solution, I sold it.

Yep, and here’s a pic of him!

Going to the North Carolina Championship as a 74 year old. Leaving the muskets home. Gonna shoot 40 cal percussion and flint. Next year 3/4 of a century, who da thunk!

IOOSO gun cleaning paste, available Midway USA, a light abrasive paste made for scrubbing barrels. Less aggressive than valve grinding paste. $4.79 tube.

Just ordered a Gehmann clip on aperture thru Creedmoor. Looking forward to giving it a try.

Get a caliper, take the nipple out. Measure the inside diameter of your cap at the open end. Now measure the nipple where this open end should be if fully on the nipple. I put the nipple in a cordless drill and use a small file to reduce nipple diameter. Remember you have to reduce the...

I’ve found with the 6 hole it takes 5-6 fills before the mold is heated evenly. I pour with a ladle rather than bottom pour. But yes, the balls, once the mold is heated are darn near perfect.

Have to say, I’ve never felt a liquid prelubed patch fouled the powder, if shot immediately after loading. I’ve used dawn/water mixture, Hoppes BP lube and spit In various concentrations. Had a discussion with an old timer who figured if the load is tight, except for the exact center diameter...

Can’t believe you haven’t been reminded of the need of your name and date within one of the pics!

Went my local Veteran's range with my 40 cal MLto shoot the August Spud target. A friends Granddaighter, who was shooting an unmentionable next to me, kept watching and asking questions. I Asked if she would like to learn to load and shoot, didn’t have to ask twice. She really enjoyed the...

Gotta say you’d best fertilize your tater crop a bit more for shootin size! But…..I did hit the French Fry twice! May try it with my Hatfield off the bench if I have time. Scoring it as 20!

22 years, since your gonna pop a cap to clear your nipple/drum and powder chamber. Unless you fumble and drop a few like me. I’m thinking of getting a piece of carpet to stand on when I shoot, so if I drop one these 20–30 cent caps, it won’t bounce away or settle in the gravel.

Why don’t you call or contact Traditions?

In the past, I’ve always bought and used pillow ticking for shooting patch material. Last August while shopping I decided to buy some lubed and dry patches. 4 packages of “Muzzleloader Originals” and 1 Eastern Maine Shooting Supplies. Opened some Saturday, to my surprise they were grossly...
