Look up Magnum Reloading. I saw a post on Facebook. Saw the guns. Really nice...

I made 2 priming horns from bleached out, cracked , & weather Buffalo horns. I had to cut them shorter, fix cracks using glue & sanding dist from pieces I cit off.. glued in plugs of Rhododendron from my yard. I've got to pin the plugs, & they're done.

Oersonally, for that price, it's a fair deal. The guns WORK. It might not pass by some stitch counter, but from a shooting perspective, the thin, no matter what you don't like, you can find parts to change them. I found one with fiberglass rod, fiber optic sights, it's a great hunter. Old eyes...

A At the range?? Between every shot.. hunting? When I'm done.. there's no need to hammer a ball down the pipe when passing a brush a couple times can prevent that.. at the range I have a routine I stick to so I never dry ball or double charge. The process starts with the bore brush on a rod...

I Shoot cigarette paper, not all of it blows out the barrel, some stays smoldering in the chamber, & the amount of crud is terrible.. I load without any paper cartridge at the range.. paper cartridges & charges are for reloading if I carry 1 hunting...

"MUFFIN MIX" has wheat flour that can be ignited. I use cream of wheat, no super fine powder... if you don't shave lead sinking a round, lube on top of it. Make sure the caps fit the nipple tightly & correctly..

I roll my papers over a marker. (Cut cigarette paper) I fold over the end, but leave an opening. I used pieces of nitrated paper to cover the end. 15grn. Powder, 15grn. C.O.W., I never added the ball in until this time around. I glued it. I usually just make a charge pscket & pack a lubed ball...

RR ties don't allow small arms penetration & the round usually ricochet. I've had .50 balls from pistol, & C&B rounds land at my feet. Practicing draw & shoot @20ft from the backstop. I've noticed particle board/OSB over the ties really absorb energy & capture more rounds..

I have cap & ball revolvers & flintlock pistols. It cost @ $12. to spend an afternoon shooting flints. The same amount of time with the cap guns costs @ $15. ... I bought a reloading stand for the revolvers. It takes a little longer, but with the cylinder out, it's easy to load.. no mistakes on...

After you shoot, tear it apart & look for scarring. Where parts slide or touch. 1 of mine, the pawl that rotates the cylinder touched the arbor & made it hard to cock. A little filing & it's fine. The area of the pawls slide in the frame. The slides side are round, parts sliding is square &...

I bought a re-loading stand cheap. Ox Yoke. Under $40. It's not heavy duty, but works well. I have .44 & .36 .. you have to tear down with every re-load, but that allows you to run a brush thru the barrel. Loading powder, buffer ( cream of wheat) & ball all out of the gun is so much easier &...

I've shot them.. tear the nest apart & throw away the larvae parts. Even the comb part will make wadding. I even carry some in my bad for a overshot wad..."paper" in the furtrade era was an expensive import..

Soap, water, clean, un-used 10w40

Soa I use soap (Dawn ) water, & follow up with CLEAN oil.. I like 10w40... never had a problem.. once in a while I snatch a dipper of raw crude to use on my hunting guns.. the smell of raw crude is familiar in the woods, Hoppe's isn't a normal woods smell... if I can smell your cleaned gun on...

I've bought both. Both needed "slicking up". Both had scars where the machined edges touch or parts slide. The older Uberti ( bought 3yrs ago) needed less work than the others. The Uberti I just bought needed as much work a the Peitta I bought 4yrs ago.. for the money, I'd buy another Uberti. Or...

Got a few more pictures & tape measure. 36" barrel, 6 3/4-7/8" thelock is 2 3/4" wide.

Those are all the marking I can find & pictured..

Potatoes?? They are a new world vegetable, & nothing like the potato we know. Even corn in colonial days wasn't what it is now. Homany would be closer to correct. As for beans & peas, those weren't the vegetables you know either.. barley flour would've been more common in a colonial kitchen than...
