Im looking into building another rifle. The more I look, the more I find what I have may be better than what I can build. I am looking at the one screw lock mount of a southern rifle. Thinking about using a 1792 repop coin as a washer. Smallest Ive found is a 3/4 inch diameter one. Anyone...

Wont sludge up like those who use petroleum based oils. A few flakes came off the breech plug. I dont use a scraper, wire brush or any other mechanical devices. Just cleaner and patches. No water, no rust.

I bought my Pedosorry in 1992, the lock was bad then too.

They use ell and stingray skin for the handles of Japanese swords. Find a sword shop

Burnt black powder and petroleum oil make sludge. You have a sludge factory. Water under the bridge. Any water based soap down the barrel and through the touch hole. We use a rubber tipped nozzle and 160lb of compressed air.

Blue jeans were not invented until1883

I have to add that it also depends on WHO's lock you are using. Chamber's locks are milled tight. So just a crayon is all I use. At Rony where you are shooting more than one shot. I can see sloppy fitting frizzen getting the powder wet. I had one once. I kept it cover white shooting 25-75...

Stole that link, thanks

Ok, now Im hungry, thanks!

Some folks say bad stuff about Thompson Center 1000+ bore butter. Back in October I cleaned my rifle for the end of season. I pulled it out today to get ready for the first rondy (3 weeks!!) I ran this patch down the barrel and spun it around when it hit the plug. As you can see, there is some...

Joni Mitchell said "Life is for learning" So is black powder shooting

Review everything and make up your own mind. On several firearm subjects on you tube, there are no correct videos. Others trying to figure it out, just like the rest of us.

Seems like another production gun problem. I just checked my Chamber's lock. Both the pan and frizzen show no daylight through them. Machining the parts so they fit would be the way to go. Gluing stuff is just a stop gap measure.

Bright colors work best so you can see where you laid it down at. I dont color my BP lube.

I had not thought of that, cool. Makes more sense than what I thought of. A primitive air vent, like Mike's hot shot nipples that sent the air pressure out the vent holes for better ignition.

Looks good. If I didnt have one already, Id be proud to hang that of me belt.

I use a English fouler belt bag. Holds everything I need and is small and out of the way. Came all the way from England.

I installed a sight like that on my 45/70. Using the tang screw, even when I lay it down to use the factory peeps the recoil hits my cheek. Now I know why Quigley unscrewed his. Currently looking for a thumb screw so I can remove it.

Many moons ago I used to do quick draw with a SAA. The barrel of the 1860 is too long for me to wear it on the right side. So I went with a Slim Jim cross draw. Then I opened up the trigger area for a quicker draw. If I ever went two guns, I would get another Slim Jim right side and wear them...
