a 2 hour drive == a lot more than $19 worth of gas.... for that, they can ship to me... Not knocking you or Canada... Dunno what the availability of Goex is in Canada, and you probably have VAT and other government ransoms to pay, but for those of us in the US it's ~$16\pound plus shipping and...

It really IS nice to know that I have a place that has it in stock less than 20 miles from home. But, me thinks he won't be replacing Graf's and other vendors even with the hassle of Hazmat charges and needing to arrange for someone to be home to sign... Order 3 pounds and I'm equal to the cost...

Stopped in a small local gun shop over lunch today. Been 18 years and at least 2 owners since my shadow graced the door. Conversation was cordial...... "Been a while since i was here. Back before the original owner passed. " says I Current owner, "well thats been going on 20 years..... Happy...

Dave, Same deal in PA... can't even attempt to take another until you've dealt with the first one. Just wanted to put it out there for discussion after seeing the other thread and having passed on a shot recently because of it...

Since it came up in the Power and the .54 Hawken thread...I've been pondering this one since I had to pass up on a shot in Archery season because the deer never separated enough to present a clean shot. My bow would most likely have been up to the task but, IMHO, that's way too risky of a shot...

Unfortunately, I end up paying for this and other useless mind numbing muck because it keeps the wife and kids happy. I was just sitting there last night thinking about the state of the programming these days. Would you ever have thought that one of the most popular shows would be "Competitive...

I did the Naval Jelly on "Patience" - my GPR: Link to thread with pictures I filed & sanded it all down (draw filed the barrel), wiped it down with alcohol, then I gave it a good coat of jelly and left it sit for a day, rinsed it off and repeated the application a few times until I got the...

Group purchase?

The Lyman's have the lugs for the wedges welded on..... That looks like a real poor tack to me.... better picture would help but I doubt it's gonna be an issue.

Nice to know I have company down here in the gutter..... :hatsoff:

This should have been prevented in ONE very basic way.... Discharge the dang thing before leaving the woods.... There is an old stump on the trail coming down the hill to a parking area at my gun club that I bet has a few pounds of lead in it.... It's where all of the flint lock hunters in the...

You mileage will vary... Start at about 55 grains and play around a bit with patches and lubes.... get to know yer smoke pole and work the load up.... If it's a new barrel it will want to see about 100 shots or some hand lapping anyway before it settles down... The lube matters as much as the...

This one's going to be more fun than usual since I assume that part of the ramrod is still attached to the ball puller and is snapped off in the barrel. What is the shape of the break in the rod? Square or angled and following the grain? If you can get a hollow tube over the end of the broken...

Ahhhh... ok. I did notice the leather on the picture above, but forgot about it when I watched the video....

Thanks...

Some background: I was cleaning out the GPR last night and decided to wrap a patch around an old brush for a bit tighter fit. Wasn't sure if I was seeing rust or crud that was "still" coming out from when I used some bore butter last year (I thought that I got it clean, but you guys have...

Go to the source.... Spin Jag

WOW - any one else notice the frizzen doing the wave?

I have a cheapo imported one that I've not used yet. I'm thinking about reworking it a little bit and was wondering if anyone could post a couple pictures of the mouth\pour hole and the plug? I'm wondering about the size of the hole, the shape of the plug (straight or tapered?), and how tight...

I really shy away from ammo cans for BP seeing as they are relatively air tight and you could easily cram upwards of 10 pounds of BP onto a 50 cal can.... a 20mm can is downright scary when I think about it. There are normally specific LAWS in many areas that deal with how, where, and how much...
