    Slant Head Wedge Key Head Angle Adjustment?

    Half way between Keystone and Hermosa on Hwy 40. OK, not to be dense, I need a little more detail. I had figured to put the wedge into a vise from the top with the slanted head resting on the top of the jaws, between the two jaws and the jaws closed just enough to allow the leg of the wedge to...

    Slant Head Wedge Key Head Angle Adjustment?

    How do I go about changing the angle of the Wedge Key head on the slanted wedge key to have it match my full stock Hawken contour??? I am installing new all brass wedge keys I acquired from TOTW and not sure how to approach changing the head angle to match the stock contour. I need to reduce...

    Teflon Patching

    Thanks to all for the feedback I was given some to try with my 50cal Flintlock with Colerain barrel. I used some Ox Yoke Comp Lube on it and it shot some of the tighest groups I have ever managed to punch in paper. I tested it along side some home cut patches and some commerical prelubed...

    Thanks to all for the replies and links...just what I needed! MD I have several BPCRs (Sharps, Hepburns, Highwalls) with French Gray finish. That finish is done by case hardening the metal and then removing the case hardened colors with basicly toliet bowl cleaner (mild Hydrochloric Acid)and...

    Mallet...Leather, wood, rubber????

    Gents and Ladies Still putting together my range accessories and I'd say I was 95% there. In my younger years...and that is qute awhile ago...when I was loading my TC Hawken, I could slap my short starter with the palm of my hand with little or no side effect...but that was before age and...

    Flush Nipple?

    OK, Buford and Brown Bear figured there were some tricks...thanks for the input. So if you have a rifle, like a Vincent, that is not a "Hook Breech" and the tang screws would have to be removed everytime if you want to clean...like I use to clean my old TC Hawkin...that over time I would think I...

    Flush Nipple?

    Among some things I was given to get re-started in ML after a 20yr absense is a packaged "Flush Nipple" from Track of the Wolf. So, though it may seem obvious, before I venture into the totally unknown, anyone got any experience using one of these things? Only a guess on my part, but seems to be...

    Which Percussion Cap?

    OK, pretty much new to ML’s from a standpoint of accuracy and performance. Having a Vincent built with Rice barrel in 45 caliber and plan on using it primarily for target shooting and maybe an occasional hunt. I would like to lay in a supply of percussion caps and looks to be quite a few more...

    Range Bench Shooting Acc Holder

    Greetings All New to the forum, but not to Muzzleloading. My past experience has been with an early TC Hawken designed for Hunting...not much time spent shooting balls at paper. That is about to change. Decided on putting together a Vincent, Rice Target Barrel in 45 caliber. Considered a 40...
