    Howdy, From The Mighty 13th

    Thanks all for the warm welcome. The answer is yes, Georgia was the fourth state to enter the union, but I was thinking farther back. We were the last and 13th colony, and it is also a reference to the Roman 13th Legion. We were however the last state to reenter the Union as a self-governing...

    Range report Jukar longrifle

    Awesome group! I have been eying a Juker that has been hanging in an antique shop in the closest town to me for a couple months. They want 150-175 for it, and I am itching to snatch it up. It balances darn good on the shoulder. It says 50 cal on the tag, but I think it is a forty-five...

    Square Patches for .32 cal??

    So when CVA patch packages say "do not use these patches with any other caliber rifle," they only mean larger than the specified caliber? I was like, "Why can't I use these .50 patches for .45? Am I right in assuming I can?

    BP/PYRO RS question

    Man, I am no expert, but I think the point here is to pour something down the barrel, and then ram something else down on top, cock, cap, and fire. I like BP, I like Shockey's Gold. It all goes down, and makes smoke. Yes there are variables, but we didn't get into ML for the tech, but for the...

    Swiss Black Powder

    As someone getting back into BPML I am fascinated by the fact that something that would almost seem generic in the modern era is still so variable. I am always fascinated to read historic accounts of different powders and now have to rethink what powder I buy. Never realized modern BP was so...

    Looking for an identity

    Anyone ever heard of a gunsmith with the initials TAS that made very authentic Hawken repros?

    What diameter should my patches be?

    Interestingly, when I got the old smokepole out to reinvigorate my interest I was cleaning it and my plastic jag (not for ML rifles) head broke off. I broke my patch puller trying to pull it, tried to burn it out with gasoline, tried an air compressor, and then realized, 'why don't I blast it...

    Howdy, From The Mighty 13th

    Hahaaa! Yeah, the Panzer might have been an exaggeration, but then again, maybe not. Glad there are some other GA folks that haven't forgot where they came from. I am up here southwest of Atlanta in South Fulton county which is the polar opposite of the northern half of the county. I live in...

    What diameter should my patches be?

    Thanks a million. What exactly does cutting at the bore entail? How does that work? I am unfamiliar with the term. I know someone will shake their head, and bemoan the heavens concerning noobs, but I am here to learn.

    Anyone know a rough guess of what diameter I should make my .45 TC patches?

    Howdy, From The Mighty 13th

    Howdy All I am new to the forum, and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Shelby and I am from the great state of Georgia where we can still hunt with anything short of a Panzer or Dynamite. I am getting back into ML pretty good and hope to receive and hopefully give any help, support...

    TC 45 patched ball combos?

    Thanks for the info. I might go with the steel parts, though brass doesn't truly rust, so I might stick with it. Glad to have all the help from folks. I figured I couldn't make the TC exactly like a Hawken, but I reckoned I would try to get it aesthetically as close as possible, or maybe I...

    TC 45 patched ball combos?

    Thanks for all the info guys. I am not new, but rather on again-off again at ML, and have never therefore devoted the time needed to become proficient. I plan to stick with it this time if we ever get some good weather down here in the Lucky 13th. Looking to take advantage of our ML season...

    TC 45 patched ball combos?

    Thanks for the response guys. I have no real objection to blackpowder paul, though I do have some Shockey gold that I like. I have a couple pounds of Goex BP I Obtained about seven years ago when I was eighteen when I puchased a pieta brass navy for my first self-purchased gun. 45 grains...

    TC 45 patched ball combos?

    Howdy! I am a new member. I first cut my teeth on my stepdads TC hawken 45 when I was six. That rifle is now mine and I am working on a ball/patch combo and wanted to find out what anyone else with a TC .45 uses. I have some .445 ball and homemade pillow ticking patches, the thickness of...
