    AK-47 mag pouch possibles bag

    A friend of mine used to use a very old, 50rd drum pouch from a Thompson machine gun as his possibles bag. :patriot:

    "Going Off Half-Cocked"

    Off topic.. but near topic; Many years ago I was up "in camp" with a friend and we'd been shooting muzzle loaders that afternoon. He was having some issue with his rifle and had it all apart. I was sitting in a chair and I asked him to hand it to me. He asked what part I wanted and I replied...

    Pondering my first flintlock

    I love my New Englander and even though I haven't shot it in a while, I wouldn't part with it. And I sure as heck wouldn't trade it for a CVA. I've owned a couple CVA's and there's no way I would trade a T/C for one. I always say CVA is/was to muzzle loading, what LEE is to reloading...

    In-lines every where.

    I don't bother with the muzzleloading season anymore. The last time I did I'd spent 19 days in the woods between bow hunting and the regular gun season. In those 19 days I saw 1 other hunter. I went back for muzzleloading season and saw 5 hunters in a day and a half in that same patch of...

    Making a short carbine

    I always wanted to buy another T/C New Englander and cut the barrel down to 12 inches or so. The only thing that keeps me from doing so is the legal aspect of it. I KNOW it's legal, I'm just concerned about bumping into some other yahoo that doesn't.

    Same old question, but I need some help!

    What brand of powder are you using?

    In-ear or behind-ear muzzle blast protection

    For years I was a dedicated handgun hunter, so of those single shots shooting large, might as well be rifle rounds. You don't want to shoot them without ear protection, even once. I found electronic ear protection to be more trouble than it's worth. You lose much of your sense of (hearing)...

    touch hole is dangerous?

    I was going to post the question last week”¦ "How far does flint go?" I had a new 3/4" flint vanish after a shot last week and I looked for it for probably about 45 minutes in total over the course of the shooting session. I never found it. The only place it could have gone was over the...

    help identify?

    Sorry to bump this up, I'm just intrigued by how much it looks like a Werndel. I wonder if there's a connection.

    Hey, anyone can hit the big ones. :wink:

    Ignition speed issue? Possibly?

    I will add that perception can play a part in it as well. I recently video taped a me taking a couple shots with my new (to me) rifle. In they video the look pretty instantaneous. They sure didn't feel that way when I fired them. :)

    Cleaning black powder rifles

    I started using it with my BPCR's and once I saw how well it worked and easy it was to use, I started using it on my muzzle loaders. I like being able to spray down the lock inside and out. Followed by Ballistol.

    QLA false muzzle

    ^ Yeah but they were probably cutting patches, not using store bought ones like most people shooting a T/C. :grin:

    Innovations saf-t unloader

    I have an EC-Unloader”¦ I found through some "field" expedient tinkering that it would work just fine with standard air gun sized C02 capsules if I dropped a small blue wire nut and a foam ear plug (what I had laying around) down on the bottom of the body before I put the capsule in. Many...

    QLA false muzzle

    My experience with the QLA and PRB was that at times it made keeping that patch centered a little more tricky than normal muzzle/crown, but it shot just fine. You might try these. A friend and I had good luck with them many years ago in some 1/66 CVA's...

    "Pile Driving" (bouncing) the ramrod on a PRB?

    "seat the ball to the mark on the rod" I've always loved this. Just how does this marked get on the rod? I have to make the mark. So how do I know when I made the mark, that it was seated all the way? :blah: You guys must be using awful dang heavy ram rods if it's distorting the ball. :(
