Nice job! I like your die! I wish I had a lathe so I could make something similar. I have both of the dies from 22reloader, and I agree the cap skirt is rather ugly, and looking at your end product, the bottom is not nice and flat on the caps I make compared to yours. I set mine up in a drill...

You could cut down a Remington or buy the Ace. I wouldn’t unload every day. You can cut some plastic hose that would fit over the caps that would help seal them a bit from moisture. I would not use lubricated wads, it can leach into the powder and cause failures over time. I would use 777 and a...

Some stainless is magnetic. For example 416, which is sometimes used in gun manufacturing will attract a magnet.

I have one and mine is stainless steel. I’m not sure if euroarms made any in nickel.

I love my R&S! Wish I could find a few spare parts (cylinder hand).

I built a lefty percussion 50 caliber version of this. Pretty nice kit and gave me something to do when I couldn’t sleep.

No, I’m good! The only snow I want to see is in a paper cup with grape syrup!

I use about 10/1 acetone/duco cement and it works great. I have used the copper you are referring to. It works good, but the edges of the stock are very sharp and can slice you up pretty good, so be careful. I also bought .005 aluminum which works great too. And double up on the aluminum cans...

I mix about 10/1 acetone/duco. Just don’t mix it too thick like 4/1.

Beautiful cannon! I’m originally from North Easton Massachusetts. I’ve been in Florida since 1995. I can’t say I miss the weather!

You can take a small block of wood (4” x4”x1” etc…) and drive a nail or bolt through it that the cylinder will fit on. Then use a a piece of wooden dowel or brass rod and hammer to seat the ball over the charge. Cut the nail or bolt so it doesn’t stick up out of the cylinder if you would like...

Done!

Why not buy a Remington and cut the barrel and round the grip frame. I can PM a photo of one I did to give you an idea if you would like.

Welcome from Fort Myers!

The spare parts are what concerns me. Probably not much money to be made by someone to produce parts.

I sometimes make black powder so I’ve bought kno3 from fireworks chemical supply companies. They usually have good prices. I use the curling papers for nitrating. On their own they burn well, but definitely not like flash powder! To nitrate I take one at a time and dip in a tray of water/kno3...

I recently picked up this one. Only had it out to the range once, but it shot great.

Especially when you buy it at Costco or Sam’s!

I recently received both from Amazon. They work great. I like the copper a bit better, but be careful when cutting strips, sometimes it leaves a nasty burr on there that likes attaching itself to the inside of your finger! I had used .005 brass also but it’s harder material and I believe over...

I recently saw a YouTube video using charcoal made from toilet paper. It ran faster than the willow and the swabbed bore was reasonably clean.
