    Making a Powder Horn

    Somewhere I have seen a guide for making a horn, but cannot seem to find it. Saw something on scrimshaw also. Can anyone head me in the right direction? Have a horn I would like to work on but not sure where to start. Thanks for any help.

    Hornady round balls

    Seems Hornady is having a problem. I had RBs for my 45 rifle on order, but was told they would be backordered for a couple weeks. Waited a month and then received a email saying they were backordered another month. Went and canceled that order and found something else instead. Whats the deal...

    Canvas Possibles Bag?

    Not a very good stitcher, but here is what I have now. Let the back of the flap run down far enough to give me a small inside pocket for caps and such. Next thing is to decide if I want belt loops or shoulder strap. The fastener I would like to make out of bone and leather cord. Thinking if I go...

    Canvas Possibles Bag?

    My better half had some printed canvas and I wanted a small bag for my pistols. Dont know if canvas bags were used. All I have seen are leather. Well, trying to save a few bucks, I decided to use it. This is just the start. If this is wrong, or doesnt belong here, sorry guys. Just had to ask...

    Convert Percussion to Flint

    I have had cap guns all my life but not any flinters until recently with the TC Hawken. I am posting some picks of a rifle I have and wondering if I can convert it to flint. This rifle is .45 cal. Pedersoli barrel. The lock I do not know about. I have had this rifle close to 20 yrs and has been...

    Over charge in the pan

    I fired it twice but stopped cause figured I was doing something wrong. Looked like a 4th July sparkler sittin in the pan. Son in Law thought it was pretty cool tho. :grin:

    Over charge in the pan

    Thanks for all the advice. After reading these comments I remember my friend telling me to use REAL blackpowder. I have some on the way. I didnt realise there was that much difference. Waiting impatiently for it to get here so I can shoot again. Again thanks everyone. :bow:

    Walker Nipple Wrench

    Here I go again with the questions. Does the Walker need a different nipple wrench? I have 2 that work on all my other percussion guns, but it doesnt work on my Walker :confused: . Seems the flats on the nipple are wider and wont let the wrench go all the way down. Thanks guys for any help.

    Over charge in the pan

    I have shot BP most of my life (54yrs), but only one time with a flinter when I was lets say 19 or 20. I have a TC .50 flint (recently purchased at a flea market) that I shot for the first time last weekend. All my experience is with percussion rifles. The rifle I shot all those years ago...

    .44 Walker issue

    Actually they stuck to the rammer. Checked it to make sure didnt have anything unusual on it and found nothing. I did the same on the balls, just rotate somewhat and reset. Might throw off the accuracy some (not sure).Probably will go with the .457 balls and see if there is an improvement...

    .44 Walker issue

    No disrespect, but the ball being loose in the chamber is much more of an issue to me. Dont want the balls in the chambers sliding down during recoil. The #11 caps fit the Remmie but not real snug like on the Walker, so a little pinch, as I said, solved that problam.

    .44 Walker issue

    Fired my Remmie and Walker for the first time yesterday. Remmie did well except for the #11 caps wanted to fall off after a shot was fired. 3 fell off on the first shot. Pinched them a little and that solved that problem. Now to the Walker. Loaded and fired the first cylinder with no problems...

    Lubed Wads vs Dry

    OK this has probably been covered but dont see it anywhere so I will ask "cause I just dont know". I can see a need for lube over the ball after loading with a dry wad to prevent chain fire. Seems with the lubed wad that is not necessary, but just an extra safety precaution. Is that correct or...

    Thompson/Center Hawkin

    Just picked up a .50 cal TC Hawken flinter at the flea market this past weekend in excellent condition for $90. Look around before you spend your dollars. :)

    Pietta Rem .44 & Uberti Walker .44 loads

    Thanks for that info. OK one more question. The Remmie takes #10 caps. Can I change those out to a nipple that will take #11 caps? Where can I find them if any. Cant find #10 around here, but there are plenty of #11 caps. The #10s are on the web but have to buy 10 tins of them. I would like to...
