'morning, At the club I belong to, it's a 1:1 ratio. Because to the best of my knowledge, I'm the only bp shooter, and I shoot both... Calum

'afternoon, Yup, take a poke of them to events. Handy to munch uncooked too. For daily breakfast, I use the minute (not instant!) variety (due to time issues in the mornings) with a handful of granola. Calum

”˜morning, While I don’t particularly ascribe to it, defarbed wepons (the whole deal, not just the barrel) are popular with the more authentic ACW reenactors. I can see reshaping and refinishing the stock, etc, but using an out of the box rifle has never bothered me. For those that do it, they...

'afternoon, Black by preference, although if there's French Vanilla creamer around, a slug may mysteriously find it's way into my cup. :idunno: Calum

'morning, I have one, and it's noticeably heavier than the ArmiSport version. It shoots well, both blank and live. Keep in mind that with EuroArms now out of business, supplies of parts are starting to dry up and/or command premium prices. Calum

'afternoon, Oh, I definitely agree - the Sharps never made it into actual production (from what I've read), and the long rifle that I referenced is the only one that I've ever encountered. In practice, I do carry one of the small brass Ottoman type grinders in my haversack. Even though I cut...

'morning, I'm quite sure that this was not a common item, and I apologize that I can't upload the photos - they're old screen shots saved into a Word document. I can't convert it to anything that Photobucket will accept. This was listed on ima-usa.com back in 2013. Here's the description...

'morning, You mentioned it has DST. I have a Sharps that occasionally has a similar issue. Have you checked the trigger adjustment screws? I'm drawing a blank on the names at the moment, but my Sharps has two. One between the triggers, that affects the let off once the set trigger is pulled...

Thank you very kindly! Going to try it this weekend. :) Calum

For the hot buttered rum, I realize that it's to taste, but any rough measurements to start with? Thanks, Calum

'morning, Something else to consider, is not all safes (whether gun or not) are owned only with theft of contents in mind. Fire protection is also a primary consideration for most folks that I know with any type of safe. Calum

My unit has always used Jack's Powder Keg, http://www.jackspowderkeg.com/ and never had an issue. Calum

'morning, I'm with Fred on this one. I've only used a pick if there's an issue - and that's only on my caplocks, never on my flinters. Until I came to this forum, I'd never even considered the possibility of inserting the pick prior to loading the main charge. It's on my list of things to...

'afternoon, That's what I'm currently using on my heavy barrel target rifle. Not sure what I originally picked them up for, but everything else I have takes #10, the Winchester Mags in my box were #11, and that's what fit the rifle. No issues with them, they fire every time, but I can't say...

'morning, I load my LeMat with the cylinder out, using a short starter, but the Remingtons and Colts I use the built in lever. Never had a loading stand, just seems like more junk to carry, and I carry more than enough. :) The reason I do the LeMat differently is because the lever is...

It's an on-line vendor http://www.jackspowderkeg.com/. I purchase for my CW unit, and we've always had good service from them. When we first started ordering, I questioned just what the "battle powder" was, since some of our members also live fire. The response that I got is below (apologies...

'afternoon, I was taught powder, wad, ball. That's how I've always done it. I doubt that you'd get the wad to stay if it was loaded last. Calum

'afternoon, MANY huge thanks to Billnpatti for posting the links to those two videos. Took my CnB pistols to the range. Loaded them all, capped them all, and as I was rotating the one cylinder making sure they were seated, it locked. Tried what I could at the range, but it was going to have...

”˜morning, Somewhere between B & C, depending on the mood, weather, etc. And I’d have to respectfully disagree regarding Civil War reenactors. We also have very varying levels of authenticity, often within the same unit. But generally speaking, members of a unit tends to be of the same...

'morning, Mine has a steel bowl, and smokes rather nicely. Due to the long handle, it's a nice, cool smoke. Just make sure that the clean out plug is snug or you won't get good draw. I just use the normal pipe tobaccos that I enjoy in my "normal" pipes. Fire source has been matches or...
