My last post on this topic, If some new shooter takes your advice and ends up double loading a rifle of dubious quality which cannot take the extremely high pressure and the rifle lets go injuring several bystanders and the shooter, how are you going to handle that? What will you say?

Many professionals use "Easy off Oven Cleaner". Hang the stock, coat it with Easy Off, wait 15 minutes and wash off. Apply second coat if necessary. This will take off most finishes without sanding and it has worked for me over the years. Didn't have to sand at all. Easy Off is a strong...

Keep trying "gun broker" and other sites. Look for dealers with a 100% rating for over 50 deals. Lyman and T/C were common well-made rifles. Pedersoli is more expensive, but I won a few contests with my Tryon 54. They are out there but looking in the mountains in the snow is probably not the...

Patches need to be thick enough to fill the grooves of the rifling. They will spin the patch when it exits the barrel. They also need to be rough enough to hold onto the ball and impart the spin of the bore onto the ball. The ball DOES NOT CONTACT the rifling. Your patch must completely cover...

That is one pretty lady. But Jessica looks better. The one great path to happiness is hunting together. The memories that I carry are fantastic.

54's are getting terrible hard to find. But there is a gun store high up in the mountains that have 54's as far as the eye can see. They are hollering to you, take me turtle, take me. Welcome from Idaho.

Well Brit, YOU HAVE IT WRONG and you are looking a bit outside the realm of normal thinking. Let it go and keep thoughts so adequately proven wrong to thyself please.

BELOW IS THE SWISS BLACK POWDER SITE. TO THE RIGHT OF THE POWDER CONTAINER IS THE "DESCRIPTION" PLEASE READ THE DECSRIPTION. THEN STOP TRYING TO GET SOMEONE HURT WITH YOUR STUPID PICTURES. Swiss Black Powder 4 Fg (FFFFg) - mainepowderhouse.com

And the fish, seeing the bait just above him slowly ascends to the bait ready to strike. Wham, 4f goes to the bottom in the belly of the 3f bass.

While you have a "flintlock" your rifle was designed to work a bit differently than a regular flintlock. The company was hoping to make a flinter that would work with "pellets" instead of loose powder and allow people who need to hunt with flintlocks have an edge over Traditional flintlock...

Nice

I hope you watched them. When you take your lock out, take a close-up picture

Nice work on the elk. Well done. Hello from Idaho.

Lo from Idaho. Hunted a bit in your state. Lovely place to live.

FYI, everything is important. Where the powder sits in the pan, if there is any gap tween the pan and the barrel, having a clean touch hole to the powder. and having proper follow through when firing. When I first started shooting a flint, I sighted in from the bench. Later shooting off-hand...

I always worried about any lube above the rings as I thought that it might cause inaccuracy. ???

Used to hunt Block Management around Jordan for years. Did enjoy the people up there. Might want to try that BP Hunt myself. Welcome.

Long barrels in the woods can be a pain to carry in tight quarters. My hunting rifle is for hunting and not for recreating the trapper era. I shoot a 54 caliber Lyman deerstalker as the barrel is short, but the rifle is accurate, and it shoots an 80 grain 2f round ball load as well as a slug...

Phil Collins, I see that you like Jack Crab. One of my favorite people. "You go on down there General"

Leather over the nipple. Super-hot water filling the bore. Before the water cools, pour out and scrub bore with a piece of scotch brite pad that has been thinned.
