Not always true.

That's why surfaces contacting each other should be well polished. No one here has ever said to apply grease.

Price reduced.

Shot and rifles don't work together well, and colonial rifles were a relatively small bore compared to militia muskets, so no, it's not a safe bet.

Packing with grease is the last thing anyone should be doing. It attracts and holds dirt. If you're applying so much it "cushions" the lock, you are actually inhibiting its operation.

If you want blotchy, use the naval jelly then apply a solution of salt and vinegar. I brushed it on, thoroughly wetting the metal and letting undissolved salt crystals cling to the barrel. I let it sit a couple of days, then wiped with a dry cloth to take the crusty stuff off. This was the...

Sand the metal bright using 220 grit paper, then apply naval jelly, let sit 15 minutes, rinse off and dry. Repeat the naval jelly if you want it grayer.

Not a coating, but a treatment. Naval jelly is phosphoric acid.

You don't need Ballistol. You don't need to disassemble it, either. I clean with hot soapy water, rinse with hot water, shake off the excess, then dry. I have a small bottle of oil with a needle tip, I oil the tumbler, sear, and frizzen pivots, just a tiny bit will do, and work the mechanism to...

Greetings from Brunswick, Maine. Whereabouts are you?

How about $1000, in person meet-up?

You're not pushing the sear up fast enough. Hold the lock firmly with your other hand and push the sear with authority.

Your logic is flawed. Proofing is to ensure it is safe at a *normal* charge. If the barrel can withstand a double load, it is safe at normal levels. You're assuming it's safe from the start.

It's a blank. There's nothing to obstruct the barrel, and nothing to cause a spike. Yes, there's the paper from the cartridge *if* that's rammed down, but that is not going to offer any resistance.

Pedersoli is going to make a LLP Bess? Or retool their SLP? Because that's what my comment specifically referred to when tenngun said you could get a Bess from them.

It's also arrogant and condescending. And expected from certain people.

You can't get a Bess from Pedersoli. They don't make a Long Land Pattern, and their SLP is an inaccurate immitation.

Front swivels should have their own barrel lug.
