    Jaeger Big Bore Loads.

    I have a couple of 62 caliber flint lock Jaegers rifles. I am just looking to see what loads other shooters use in these size guns. One local guy said he only uses 50 grains and another said he use 90 to 110 grains behind a patched round ball. Looking for a load that will work for both target...

    Cleaning mix?

    Thanks to all who replied. I don't know what the Dawn post was all about but that's okay. I do however have a question about cleaning my flintlocks. These guys who say all it takes is two wet patches, two dry patches, two oil patches and twenty minutes and your all done. How do you do that...

    Cleaning mix?

    Sorry, I didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest here. It was just an honest question. Even though I'm old doesn't mean I can't learn something from someone else. I know water works fine but it doesn't hurt to ask if something else would work better.

    Cleaning mix?

    I don't know how expensive that stuff is. I haven't tried it yet, just wondered if anyone else has. I've always used water and a little dish wash but he said this works much better.

    Cleaning mix?

    Hi, I have been a BP flint locker for close to fifty years now and was shooting last weekend. Another gentlemen was also enjoying the day and we got to talking. He said that if I wanted a really easy way to clean my gun I should use a product called Simple Green. He uses it on his patches too...

    Jaeger Rifle question?

    Thanks Tecum. I kinda like the rear sight with peep hole in it. I have to check them out. I am used to using a 45 Kentucky for deer, how do you think this 62 cal will work on them? A lot of times the 45 doesn't leave a good blood trail when there is no snow on the ground.

    Jaeger Rifle question?

    Hi All, I have a nice Jaeger rifle that I have owned for quite a few years and never shot. Bought it because it was pretty and it felt good in my hands. Well, I'm getting up in years and figure if I soon don't take it hunting, I may not get a chance. Anyway, my eyes ain't the best anymore and I...

    I was just cleaning this thing in the back room of my shop and a customer came in and saw it. He fell in love with it and wanted to buy it. I told him it was not for sale but he could have one of his own built if he went down to Dixon. I was just down there and the first guy I showed it to said...

    For those of you who may have missed it, I posted a couple of pictures of this gun and they moved it to the photo section. With all the good input, I am really looking forward to shooting it now. Take a look Rifleman and let me know what you think.

    Jaeger Rifles Questions?

    Hi Rifleman, Your about in my age bracket. Ya think the 80 grains would be a good load for whitetail or is this caliber a little heavy for them? I am used to using a 45 cal. Flintlock Kentucky. Round ball with 90 grains of 3f black powder.

    I need to clean the barrel. How can you get every bit of rust out. This gun was made over thirty years ago and only fired by the guy who made it, to be sure it worked. Don't think 4 shots have been fired.

    Jaeger Rifle pictures.

    Here are some pictures of the Jaeger rifle that I was talking about yesterday. I thought it would be better to post some pictures of it. By the way, thanks for all the folks who helped me figure out how to do this. The white inlays in the stock of this gun are made out of bone I think. The...
