'morning, I've seen one of Redmoon's other ones from this slab, and the photos definitely do not do justice. It's gorgeous. Mike

Very nice!

'morning, Mine has an adjustment on the bulb end. If yours does, try screwing the bulb in more, with the butt end loose - I adjusted the bulb end once and pierced a battery with the butt contact, didn't realize it... The only issue I have with the arrow nocks is that they strobe. So if you're...

'morning, Have to agree with Oldeyes. I chose flintlock rather than just check them all. :) Because in my opinion, that's the one that I have the most fun shooting. But that said, I'll tend to grab any of my bp weapons over modern for a day at the range. Whether it's cap n ball revolver...

'morning, Yup, chain fires will wake you up. Mine only did the adjacent chamber, but nice smear of lead down the side of the pistol. My first bp revolver, one of those 1851s in .44 that didn't really exist. But I love that gun, probably my most shot revolver. Had good shaved lead, but I was...

'evening, I've been after a Betty Lamp for a while. No real reason, just an itch that needed scratching. Found one that looked good on Etsy (Small Oval Betty Lamp Handmade of Tin by Colleen | Etsy) and I have to say, it works pretty well. Bacon grease is actually harder to light than I...

'afternoon, Never store in a bag, that's the quickest way to pull out a rusty rifle or musket. Even the silicon impregnated ones aren't great as they'll keep any moisture "in". Good luck on your quest. Mike

Photog, that's for a 55/61/63 Springfield. The Rev War muskets didn't have the locking ring and the slot set up was different. Mike

Can't say enough good about Dixie Tin Works (and sgtprovo is great to deal with too). I've got the same mess kit and it's held up very well. According to their website, and also folks that I trust to know, theirs is based on the originals. Mike

They're great little pistols!

'morning, Track of the Wolf also offers just about every adapter you can think of. MIke

'morning, Agree with Hawkeye, the CCI reenactment caps are garbage! I've found that the Schutzen musket caps work well on my Sharps and muskets. Mike

'evening, Also, if it has wedges, not pins, take the barrel off and ship with the ramrod in the barrel. Barrel off reduces overall length and also gives strength along the length of the stock. This is how one that I bought on the forum was shipped to me, and it worked very well. Just put the...

Agreeing with the others, those CCI Reenactor caps are good only to throw away. Won't even use them to cap off. Mike

I agree with most of the statements - if I've got it, it gets shot. However, I've got a couple that I haven't fired. Yet. Mostly because they're c&b pistols, and I lean towards long guns (flint or percussion, doesn't matter) when I hit the range (oddly, in the unmentionables, I'm the opposite, I...

Nice! Somehow I'm always too late seeing these. :)

'morning, PM sent. I'll take it if still available. Mike

'evening, Yup, RWS/Dynamit Nobel. Unfortunately no longer in production. The ones the company makes in the black "tin" are winged, and are a little less hot, but fit the same. Hope that helps. Mike

'morning, As RFP said, they work well on the Sharps. I've not had any issues with them being looser than the RWS. I haven't used CCI since they came out with the crappy low power ones, although I still have a stash of the real CCI. Mike

With only one exception in my collection, every gun has been shot, and will be shot. Like a car, it's meant to be used. Ironically, my exception is a Ruger Old Army. I took it as part of a trade, new in box, and I just don't like the look or feel of it. Maybe someday I'll change my mind and...
