    PRB load for deer and hog 54 cal.

    You are wrong. Plain and simple. They aren't creatures possessing mythical powers of strength and stamina. They aren't Cape Buffalo or Rhinos. They are pigs. They die quickly with a bullet in one of numerous locations or a knife for that matter. They can hurt you if you are careless but so can...

    Indo-Persian 19th Century, need help IDing further.

    I've seen some that look similar to that in condition and build quality in bazaars in Afghanistan whose main customers were American troops. I am not much of an antique gun evaluator though.

    Using a Powder Horn

    That's pretty much it. Not a whole lot you can add to that.

    lessons learned on gunbroker

    Yall just don't comprehend metallurgy. Clearly the seller used an arc welder to fix something that wasn't broke and was therefore inferior.

    Using a Powder Horn

    I use a horn often. I'm not sure what you are asking exactly but it's simple enough. You do need a powder measure if you plan on using a horn, as bpd303 said. I pretty much only use my big horn when I know I'm going to take lot's of shots, when squirrel hunting for instance, or when I feel...

    Lots of rain. Just none in the last couple weeks. Plus this is right on the edge of the road. I'm not going to take a chance of giving up our spots by taking pictures on site....LOL

    I spent the weekend helping a friend prepare his lease for this year's deer season. He must have felt bad at how much I sweated and how bad I stank. He let me sit this morning in a gorgeous little spot and this girl came by right after sunup. .54 did it's thing. High shoulder shot took out...

    Cleaning Jag Type?

    I can remove a stuck jag with a pair of pliers and a long stick so take your metallurgy and go talk to someone who cares.

    Cleaning Jag Type?

    But he's right. And No, Zonie didn't pipe bomb it. :slap: If you have to ask the questions you have so far, don't be upset that people get a little irritated when you try to give advice about removing a stuck jag via an arc welder. I'm not saying it won't work, but it sure doesn't make...

    Cleaning Jag Type?

    How is his description fixing his jags complicated compared to your plan of pulling the barrel and firing up a welder? As a wise man once said, this isn't rocket surgery. :wink:

    Muskets at Castillo De San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida

    When the old Spanish Quarter closed down and the guy who owns the Pirate Museum (very interesting place by the way) in town bought it he redid things. One of the things he did was add a gunsmith in the quarter. Right after it reopened this gunsmith was assembling Tulle kits from Track of the...

    Muskets at Castillo De San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida

    Well it WAS an English fort and the town WAS raided by English pirates and English colonial forces. Why would it be surprising to see English weapons? We all know that the NPS has a small budget. To expect any NPS site to have custom made, 100% HC weaponry is unrealistic in this day, and...

    Muskets at Castillo De San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida

    I'd call them if I were you. I used to volunteer in the leather shop in the old Spanish Quarter and the guys from the fort used to hang out in the shop often. Very friendly. Might save you some money and you'd have the answer from the horse's mouth. Also, don't forget about Ft Matanzas! They...
