thats why they came up with true oil and marking pens or they go to plastic stocks with stainless steel barrels, which is disgusting to me.

i guessing here but you will either need to strip it or 4 ought steel wool it and then put tung oil on it. i just don't know.

linspeed oil is still the same, my dad started using it in the early '80s. you can buy it from ebay, amazon or gb product. s. i used to use true oil but the formula changed. right now i have drying on the rack is a 98 mauser wolverine stock made by richards microfit stock. i started sanding her...

i use linspeed oil(many times), 4f steel wool(many times) and followed up with pumice and rottenstone powder and to protect the "mirror finish" i use johnson paste wax. https://www.lin-speed.com/

thanks!!!! if the maxi balls don't work, then i'll try lee's real bullet mould.

8 or so years ago, i gave on bp hunting. i had a lyman deerstalker in 50 cal but for years i wanted to sell it. i've killed deer with it, patched round ball and 80gr ffg. i bought in a auction a cva hawkens lh flintlock(1 in 48") in 50 cal. i plan on doing maxi balls, just because. i pan lubed...

with my 50 cal flintlock and rb it was 200 yards away. i shot the target 10 times, only 3 of them hit the 3' x 3' target. it was 3' at 200 yards, well the three i could find:D.

yep, i'll go with that.

i've never got into competitive shooting, so 3 shots is good for me. :)

back in the day my muzzleloader(50cal round ball) would do 1 1/2 - 2"+ at 100 yards(3 shots benched). it was easy for me to do a 3/4 - 1" group at 50 yards(3 shots/benched). take the bench out of the equation, 50 yards goes to 2" or so and a 100 yards is 3 to 4". that was then, this is now. a...

thanks!!! you aught to see the old man got!!!

thanks!!!

thanks guys!!! i shot that 8pt(ruger #1 in 270) while i was "cruising" thru brush and thickets. he was trailing a doe when i shot him high on the shoulder, because that was only thing i'd seen. his body and the chest were obscured with branches,blackberry bushes and i don't know whatesle. there...

thanks!!!

thanks!!! i "have" a 100+/-yard shot to my right, in the woods. the left is around 60+/- yards and the front is around 70+/- yards. but the deer come around 40-50 yards and closer to me. i don't do close cover anymore :( :( . mostly because it(close cover) is out of reach, my polaris utv...

i'm going to use patched round balls. i'll start at 50gr of ffg and i hope 70 - 80gr of ffg will be the charge. so it will be 1:66" or so. but i am open to suggestions.

i actually have good eyes, 20/20. i do like mid weight(8 - 10lbs). i used to own a [several modern cartridge rifles], they both just "nudge". anyway, i think i'll go with the 36" barrel, for the hunting i do(under 50 yards), the 36" barrel will be more than enuff.

thats ok, i always was a lefty anyway!!! after i had the stroke, i ordered a [modern cartridge rifle, and] at a 100 yards, it would go 1 1/2 - 2 1/2" groups. using a hoe handle it would go 2 -3" at 100 yards. :( :( but that was then, now i'm happy to do 4" group at 30 yards.

i've been sitting here for several weeks trying to decide on what gun do i "want". do i "want a rem rolling block(semi custom) in 40-65 win or a flintlock muzzleloader(semi custom)? well, i made the choice , a flintlock is what i "need". now i have had a bad stroke, my right arm/leg is...
