Oehler 35p here, works amazingly well, purchased twenty-five plus years ago

Cave to your craving and own the rareness...............................

Thank you, Hand engraving, done with the aid of hammer and chisel tooling, etching implies the use of chemicals to achieve the desired results. Enjoy and happy you like the work.

All is well until you disturb the line exposing the raw lead, at that point it is open to leaching, that being said, as long as the water supply is not caustic/acidic any exposed lead will just scale over again and it's business as usual. Worked for a plumber in SW Wisconsin for a spell and we...

After more than thirty years as a licensed plumber in the service and repair industry this information is 100% correct.

Nice turnings

Looks dandy, well done and way beyond my first.

This is what I was taught, works well with a tightly patched roundball from a cap or a flinter, with a six o'clock hold @ thirteen yds (rondyvoo tie breaker distance) drops 5 1/2" to six" @ 100yds, with a tightly patched .495 rb with seventy gr fff. Try it before you discount it as a bad idea...

This is a great source for lead https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/50-lbs-assorted-lead.130321/#post-1808385

Not sure which system the Traditions uses as I'm not familiar with it, what stands out to me is your patch ball combination and powder preference. Having no idea about your shooting routine as far as cleaning/swabbing between shots, patch lube, picking the vent, etc. Also your location is...

I didn't want to be the one to mention the lock panels.......................

Yup, not in the habit of tossing my ramrods in the dirt, also as far as brass is concerned I can take a clean cotton rag and round off the crisp sharp edges on single point engraving.

Nice frizzen, stands out. At least it's not a Toyota.............:cool: Dodge Cummins driver here

You save $.42 a pound buying it in 25# bags versus 3# bags

I fit and use a delrin rod for my personal muzzle loaders, being that it's black it blends okay when in the pipes and if used properly (don't choke up to high) works well, also like the fact that mine have the screw type ball puller under the patch jag, very convenient on the trail walks for...

That's how I've done it, just curious if'n I was missing any light bulb moments.

Just love it when facts win out over emotions.

This as described above would eliminate issues with plastic shot cups leaving deposits behind, and if you've an aversion to the plastic then heavy construction paper will serve as a fine shot cup in it's own right.

Curious as to why this is a bad idea. Never mind, requires a modern wad or well constructed homebrew style and it's is apparently beyond the average smoothbore shooter to figure that out.

Well done, have a question though as I've done the same process, how do you keep the other end of the rod from flopping about while your addressing the chuck end?
