It depends on what your zero distance is. In my case both of my rifles were brand new and unfired - so the front sights were extra-tall to allow me to file them down as needed while sighting in on the range. Yours and my sight pictures will be different as a result.

After making some calls the closest I've come to a manufacturing date is "probably in the 70's, maybe in the 80's". Still checking............

I have a pair of .32 caliber Pedersoli Frontier model rifles, one flint and one percussion. Each of them will shoot an 1 1/2" group at 50 yards, I haven't tried them beyond that.

Found one on Gunbroker and now I own it. I would like to find out a date of manufacture, but so far haven't had luck tracking down some kind of serial number lookup. This one has the 'NAVY ARMSCO. RIDGEFIELD N.J. U.S.A.' legend on top of the barrel by the lock. On the left side opposite of the...

I still like my original answer..............lol.

It actually works out the other way for me. I can't help it, the target paper didn't lie to me. Lighter recoiling calibers in whatever firearm never print higher for me. It's always either the same as or lower than a heavier recoiling caliber. My opinion on why this happens is that while a...

This vid shows a tiny amount of muzzle movement, but movement does start before the bullet leaves. I'm going to try and find a slow mo video of some muzzleloading examples.

andy52, good video. We agree that the recoil impulse begins at the first moment powder gasses are pushing on the base of the bullet. What I'm saying is that how much muzzle flip actually occurs depends on the particular firearm. The vid has a firearm whose design soaks up some of the recoil...

Sorry, but I'm going to disagree with that. If the bullet is no longer in the barrel - what is the firearm recoiling against?

Well - it depends. Firearm weight, grip angle, barrel length, caliber, velocity - all are factors.

Forgot to say - the trigger on this thing needs some serious help - way into the double digits. Actually had to pull back with my entire hand before it would trip the sear. I have read postings on the subject and have a plan of attack. One step at a time.....

Range day today - made some real progress. As others posted, they like tight bullets. Went to Track of the Wolf the other day to buy some .577's and .580's - the gentleman there agreed but suggested a particular .575 as well. Bought a 25 count box of each to test. Used CCI musket caps, Goex FFg...

Welcome

Welcome to the forum. I just did a search on armslist.com, there is a used lefty .50 caliber GPR percussion listed. Good luck!

dave951, I appreciate the advice. These are out of focus, the rifling is sharp.

The moderator(s) were kind enough to move my post here from the 'General Muzzleloading' area. Anyone here have one of these? Mine is unfired with some minor handling marks only. In reading up on these some shooters mentioned the bores may run a little large - and that overall most had better...

I have a T/C New Englander, wasn't paying attention and put the wedge in upside down. (Thought it went in harder than usual.) Pulled the escutcheon down and cracked the stock. That'll learn me...........

I just bought this and am happy with my purchase, even if I haven't shot it yet. (I just got it home yesterday.) As this is one of the Colt Signature's by Anthony Imperato from 1995-2002, it's tough to find a serial number lookup. I only want to know 'cuz I keep track of everything about my...

Everything was as described, smooth transaction.

I don’t own anything I wouldn’t shoot. Came close with a boxed Colt Signature pair of 1860 Armies with shoulder stock that was unfired. Once I decided not to shoot them I traded for something at a high-end shop that I WOULD shoot. I have a variety of stuff from flint on up, some I hunt with but...
