Horse so dead DEAD dam spel check anyway Bunk

t"here is no horse so dear that it cannot continue to be beaten" Prof. Marvel Pray continue to beat. my best advise Bunk

Shot my Pietta 1860 .44 Army yesterday using Remmy #10 caps on Slixshot nipples. No capping problems, no cap jams either. A Tedd Cash snail capper must be tweaked a bit to work. Also on some guns the cut in the recoil shield needs to be t be deepened. The snail capper will easily hold a full can...

Ballistol and water 1:10 mix for me. Water dissolves the residue and Ballistol protects.. Yes peroxide is a very strong oxidizer. Not for my barrels thank you.

Slixshot nipples are made to work with Remington #10 caps. I have tested extensively and found the CCI #11 works fairly well. RWS 1075 are just a bit small for the cone shape and usually require a second strike. The CCI#10 cap is too small and, for me, did not work at all. Having said that all...

CCI caps might work with reliability in a musket with that short fire path. They work well in my Smith carbine but seem to really choke the nipple with a very hard fouling. Good Luck Bunk

Better check those may be chlorate based and if so are very corrosive. They have to be old but if they work and you clean carefully with water great make smoke! Hold Center Bunk

not my first choice but better than a sharp stick Mark from Eras Gone Bullet molds testing. hold center Bunk

since my Smith carbine has a very short fire path the CCI c(R) aps work just fine. On my Sharps not so much. RWS caps work much better.

A .31 caliber ball applied to the tear duct of a threat should work. A .22LR applied there works so a ball should work a treat.

My choice is the Lee's Gunslinger spring set. Brownell's #100-000-509 Most all my guns are so equipped and run reliably. Bunk

Any time a hand gun goes poop instead of boom STOP! Check the barrel for a ball wedged in the forcing cone. Today I had a Smith carbine go pop not boom and I could not see through the barrel. My error was a case with no powder and a bullet stuck i the forcing cone just from the power of the...

that is the kind of knife you bring to a gun fight

Could be grits ground corn hominy cooked and usually served with butter and bacon or fried ham. Also known as Georgia ice cream something you poor Yankees don't know about. Now you know. You are welcome Bunk

additionally the bore has been lapped using Brownell's JB compound which seems to have made cleaning easier. I believe that removed all the burrs from the rifling process. Accuracy testing is still a work in progress.

I have a pair of Uberti 1860 Army done by Goons Guns and they ae as reliable as a suppository gun. The pair have a little over a thousand rounds total ( I keep a barrel record on them) and the only change Imade is a lighter main spring and Slixshot cones. Try as i might there as yet to be a cap...

My Pedersoli carbine with the Hahn conversion is good for 40+ rounds with a spritz of PAM canola oil at the 35 mark. I quit at 40 because there was nothing left to prove and i ran out of loaded tubes.. Bunk

Ihave had good success with the CCI#11 on Slixshot cones.The RWS 1075 work on second strike 100% but first strike almost 0%. Good luck Bunk

here is some information it is NOT EASY

you are going to have to reline the barrel to shoot .38 special in the Navy. There is a different bore diameter and .38's will rattle down the bore. Perhaps a modicum of accuracy might be achieved using hollow base hand cast bullets. See the Duelist1954 video on his '51 Navy conversion. Good...
