What state do you live in and can you order some? If you can find musket caps they make adapter nipples. If it were me (and it is me since I live in one of the worst states in the US for shooters), I would put my efforts into piecing together a supply of the proper caps. Not so much trying...

MA Cabelas and probably Bass Pro have new procedures now. Just forewarning anyone heading there. I was at Cabelas in Hudson yesterday and by some miracle that actually had #11 Magnum percussion caps in stock. They have recently locked up all the ammo, and you now have to have an associate grab...

Beautiful work and please keep posting. I’m just starting down this path and good tutorials and pictures are hard to come by. What are you using to get the solid black color? India ink?

I am too lol. Considering taking a day off work next week to do it!

That’s just what I wanted to hear. Thank you!

As I prepare for my range trip with what will be a new caliber for me…. Have any of you experimented with different percussion caps or have a preference for a certain one? I have three choices on hand. I’ve never really noticed a difference between them shooting larger caliber rifles, so...

There is a great example of this in the classifieds right now. An unfired Lyman Deerstalker with the 57MLS peep sights and original box. It’s a great, desirable deer gun that was discontinued, and the factory peep sights on it are also discontinued and in high demand. To me this is close to...

Agree with putting this on the sister site. For an inline ML just get Federal 209A shotgun primers if you can find them. They will work with any powder you wind up with.

My in laws and thier young boys. They are unfortunately not being raised the way my kids were, and I would not let any of them within 20 feet of a firearm…..

I would look closely at this. I’ve hunted with percussion rifles in Oregon and New England. Both places can be very damp, especially Oregon as you are probably well aware. I had none of the issues you are describing, and never did anything special other than stretching a balloon over the...

Finally some progress. My Swiss powder arrived last night after no less then five delivery date delays. Ready to be sighted in but have family coming up this weekend. Will figure something out… Crockett is such a sharp looking rifle. I have all accessories together except for the brass...

Playing catch up again Tom but wanted to pass best wishes along. Here’s hoping you can hold off a bit, and do that recovery after deer season…

Adding my prayers for a speedy recovery. I hope you are back and better soon!

I will take it. Send me a pm with payment info

Beautiful!

They are normally very good to deal with. My company had phone and internet issues all day today. There may be something going on they can’t control. We literally couldn’t receive calls for more that half the day.

Very interesting and the buckshot is pretty commonly available. I may need to take a look at this caliber as an option.

Glad to hear it went well and you are ready to go. I have a powder delivery with some Swiss 3F currently tracking to arrive Friday. I should be hitting the woods shortly thereafter!!

No apology necessary at all. I will have all of my stuff with me at the range and already acquired a 32 caliber swab, tapered jag and patch worm. I will get it all figured out at the range and be feeling good when I hit the woods. I actually enjoy the tinkering at the range part of this branch...

I will check them out. Thank you!
