looks like a lot of the antiques and nondescript muskets found around here, and in better condition

The rod in the pipes is a .22 cal cleaning rod. The rifle is just one 1.5 inches longer than a CVA Squirrel. Wood is flame birch, barrel is an army surplus Cooey 82 trainer barrel

Had 2 showings of the house today, both parties booked second showings for tomorrow. Made brass ramrod pipes for my .22 flint build

I`ll sort that out when its in my hands

I`ll be measuring the chambers when it gets here, and i`ll ask the guy i got it from what he was using. This is my new revolver.

not sure if i fall into newbie category,i do own calipers and know caliber size... i suppose if i`m a newbie- its to brass framed .36 cal revolvers, and have seen several beat to beyond saving because of max loads, mouse farts it will be

Looking for recommended bullet and ball sizes plus charge load for an ASM 1851 Navy in 36. what you guys use? Not interested in beating this thing apart with max charges, planning on using it more as an introduction to Cap and ball for new shooters as opposed to loading for the apocalypse.

BougHt an ASM 1851 today

So I took the plunge and bought it. It`s a restricted up here- need a permit to fart while holding it. showed my son the pictures of it- his first question- Is it lighter than the Dragoon?

Good shooting. Have not gone out to do some fun stuff in a while old breakfast of choice back in the day- coffee with whiskey in it and a smoke

Thanks much. The seller has an excellent rating on another forum, just waiting to see if there are any accesories included in the sale. Pretty cheap for north of the border, but we are also not experiencing the pinch as bad as you guys. Soon, yes, and maybe i`ll be sending mine south to you guys...

Looking at this, don`t know much about the older ones. Arbor looks worn, but is this a normal look for these? Rest of the gun looks good other than the crud on the hammer. This is not in my hands, about 2900 km away from me. Recoil shield looks ok too

bucket of steam from the heating plant

Having my infantry days behind me, i`m now a cook in the army. I don`t cook anymore, being a Warrant officer. I get to do all the admin and disciplinary actions now instead. i had access to white aprons when they were too stained up to be used. I have about 12 left, but we no longer use the...

That nipple fits my original Pattern 1839 musket- 1853 nipples screwed right in, so it goes back at least that far.

looked at houses today. Moving to Alberta and want at least 10 acres. Looking at more tomorrow, but only one has 10 acres and i looked at that one today. There were 2 mule deer wandering through the yard on that one. Want to shoot from the deck behind the house, and need 10 acres to do it. wife...

having recently gone thru a fairly trying time-i lost someone very close to me. Not dead, but just gone. i sought mental health help after a few years of not being able to process it. They were just one of those people you could centre your life around, and be happier for it. After a few...

i have some of those too, the .50 cal size. I drop 15 gr of black in first then ram the stick down. Works good in a flintlock- saves on powder, and uses up stuff i have laying around. I got them for free

I`ll be using .22 cal pellets, already hollow based with a lube groove. In a manner of speaking. Mini minnies if you will. The barrel steel seems soft, so brass may be the way to go. The pellets load easily, the weight of a full length welding rod will push them down. it`s flint, need almost as...

I`ll be honest, my hands are not what they used to be. I use an electric chisel with flex cut blades now, and detail with the hand held ones. Have found the trick with flex cut is to run them on the buffer with jewellers rouge before and during use when they start cutting slower. Any mistakes on...
