Howdee, Thats a master piece.

Do like some folks do with ramrods, sending them down range. My computer must be broke, I dont see any pictures of this little orphaned Annie.

Saw it a month of so ago. Was stuck to the screen.

I take it down to 400 grid, then use Brasso and finer paper until it looks like furniture.

Made my own. I used a wool scarf I found at Goodwill for $5, and fuzzy lining from the fabric store, and tied it all together with yarn from the same store. Took a few hours to tie it all together, and even has fringe.

Same as the rifle, sprue up, you can see it, center it, and I bet to dont matter either way. Its just what Ive done for decades.

I do powder, wad, ball. If you need a spacer Id go powder, wad, wad, ball.

Look up US government, its a racket. what the "H" makes all the difference the world.

I bet some of my hoarding friends have some. Just have to wait till the trade show in March and the Rain-De-Vue in February to se them again.

Every time I look local I see dark wax. Over at Cast Boolits, Randy Rat sells the best grade wax Ive found. Got so much, dont know if he still sells, but would be worth the look.

My first flinter had a steel ramrod. It was a 1803 Harper's Ferry. My second flinter came with a wooden ramrod, I gave it away. Since the rifle was new, I have been using a nearly indestructible rod. Its a hickory rod that had a hole bored thru it, and a piece of all thread glued inside. It...

My first flinter was a Pedosorry 1803 Harper's. A hunk of junk. Got 8 shots off, frizzen broke, 10 month Dixie made one for me. They could not get one from The OEM. Over the next two year several other parts broke, and I replaced them with Rifle Shoppe parts. When my lady and I spit, she asked...

I use only #10 CCI, and have never had one not work. The home made ones, thats another story.

I love my Ted Cash racket bits. you use a standard 1/4 inch racket.

Daughter and grand daughter have raided all my photo albums. I gave my little bro all the pics I had from the 60s with him in them. My flintlock goes to the grand boy. But he is gonna have to wait for it. Told the medium woman to keep what she wants, and sell the rest.

I use the same one with a 30gr spout. It was metric, aint no more. I load powder, wad, ball, and let it fly. Lately since I poured a pile of money into paper cartridges, I can preload them at home. At the range it takes about 30 seconds to load all six. Be advised, it takes longer to make the...

Second the slugging the bore. Then I had a custom postel mold made. 360-540gr, hollow base, and 2 wraps of NO.9 onion. About $140 from a guy in Canada, and about a months wait.
