Another Texan but from the Big D area. My family farm is just north of Shreveport. What parish do you hail from?

Bias included from too many years as an RN in a hospital setting. Personally, here is what I'd do. First off, clean it really well. 1. Then get a bore scope/endoscope that are now about $35 off of eBay. Yeah, its $35 for this one job but you have one for the next 20 years for anything else you...

My bias is from experience with flint->percussion conversions of ACW muskets. All that I've seen or read about were done with the methodology shown in the top diagram.

one video showed trailers of uncompleted bolt unmentionables that will give them an immediate cash stream, there are extra barrels for the single shot pistols, and they did indicate that there were plans for the ML designs later. This is our chance now before the designs are finalized to give...

Been working in Louisiana and staying at the farm to help with Mom. Today back in Plano for an eye doctor appointment tomorrow. Went by the local toy store & found a Navy Arms Mississippi musket for only $400. Arrgghhh, like I need yet just another musket. 'Fraid that I cannot resist temptation...

All in all, that wouldn’t be a bad idea if he in fact had such scrap.

Trivia caution; Some muskets in the arsenal had already had rifle sights mounted when this decision was made. These sighted muskets were then sent unrifled to the troops. That is why certain models of smooth bore muskets are allowed rifled sighs in N-SSA matches.

Got a good one for you. Worked for the largest healthcare insurance reimbursement company in the country. This small 3 hospital group had continual problems with getting their files zipped up to ftp over to us. They were constantly whining about the time to process their files. Sorry, if the...

I know but still bananas.

OMG! I absolutely love any thread about Indian muskets since they bring out the best in our members. From metallurgy or mid 18th manufacturing processes / politics and now grammar. I'm not taking sides or commenting one way or the other. But this is just bananas. As an RN and one that...

Nice! Proverbial. Dumb question, what ball size does that .36 use?

Unfortunately, “The world has moved on.”

All according to plan.

Welcome from Plano!
