    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    There wasn't? I was at the range making one last swab before I went home. The only time there was powder in it was (read) was when I was trying to shoot it out and there was too much patch juice. It rendered the powder inert. This was AFTER I was able to push the brush up a tiny bit for powder...

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    Well, lesson learned. To my defense, this is my 2nd rifle in a year. I only have 1 year black powder shooting under my belt. I did not have anyone to show me the how and the what. Everything I've learned has been through tial, error, and online research.

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    I said in a previous post the PVC pipe smushed the brush. So Dropbox doesn't work for links... and I ran out of time for edit. Sorry for double post.

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    It was aluminum, I believe. To rifleman. I did try to shoot it out. I had too much wetness by the time I seated the brush and patch it rung it out onto the powder causing it be inert. I tried 10 different times to shoot it out. Undo barrel, dry out the breech, powder again. It was getting...

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    Because I can, because I want to, because it was nylon and so forth and so on. I took it to a shop because I didn't know what else to do. Why would I come on here for a berating anyways? I look for advice on an issue, simple as that. Talk to like minded people with more experience than I...

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    My problem isn't with the ramrod. I learned with my first rifle not to use the ramrod. I bought a brass range rod when I bought this gun. I'm looking up thread size for the liner. I did take the barrel to a shop and was immediately shutdown and berated. Needless to say, I won't ever go there...

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    Well, the hook didn't work. I think I'm going to have to try shoot it out. I put a light up to the vent and don't see any spill over. So that means its at least tight. Where can I get a fitting for the grease gun? Mechanic?

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    I know. It sit all night without being cleaned and I could hear it's whimpers of pain. I did spray ballistol mix into the breech and through the muzzle. I'll try the fish hook idea. I was going to use a patch puller, but can't find mine and no local place to get.

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    After getting a Pedersoli Blue Ridge/Frontier and finally getting to go make smoke something terrible happened. I was packing it all in after a few good shoots and cleaning the bore with a nylon brush wrapped with a cleaning patch. It wasn't tight or anything, just snug. The brush broke off the...

    lyman or pedersoli??

    Thanks all. I'm pretty excited. I started with the Lyman Trade. 50. This makes my second rifle. I stupidly traded the Lyman for something and have regretted since. I guess BP runs in my blood. :rotf: I'll make a new thread when I receive it.

    I just bought this rifle. Currently awaiting its shipping. What can I expect quality and out of the box shooting wise?

    GPR and the L&R Lock

    I can tell you the vent hole being off isn't going to matter. My Lyman Trade vent hole is almost identical in position to your lock and works just fine. Mine was from factory, not kit built. Is that your concern?

    Cheekpiece?

    The Lyman Trade has a cheekpiece.

    touch hole liner

    As witnessed recently, the way to tell if it needs replaced is if half your charge comes spewing out the liner hole. :rotf: I remove mine every 3 shoots or so. Maybe more. But as far as I understand, it isn't necessary to remove it.
