If you're going to paint plastic then best create an anchor pattern, like with sanding prior to coating. Degreasing prior to coating is another good idea.

Is that “your” percussion left hand rifle?
Alas, I do own, and shoot, a few caplocks. I feel cheap and dirty when I do, but we all have our own weaknesses.

No shame in that. I have found a new or re-found a new appreciation for carbines. I think it comes from decades of hunting with my dad's Remington 760 in .308. Short, light, fast and easy to point in the woods and a dream in a tree stand. Carbine MLs just feel good to me for thick woods and tree stands or blind hunting. And with most shots between 30 and 50 yards and the occasional chance to 80, they're more than adequate.
TC White Mountains are fairly plentiful right now and with 60 to 70 grains of 3F, more than accurate enough with a PRB to 50 yards and probably beyond, but haven't shot further than that with the one barrel I have recently acquired.
if I remember right it was rustolem it was for a niece she wanted a pink muzzleloader I followed the instructions on the can came out perfect I just can't find the picture
and the recommended primer
I have a couple sorties. One a Ruger 44 mag, then a 45 percussion with a 16 inch barrel and of course my Trade gun with a 26 inch 62 barrel. They all point quick. Love them

An adjustable length fifty bore paper patched hunting mold that started life as a Lyman #445599.
All different lengths have been used. Lots of short rifles in Europe.
They usually rifled them deep and the twist was often one turn in the length of the barrel.
A round ball fired from a short barrel that has a slow twist doesn't have much spin imparted.

Or you want to hunt in the rain or snow!

However, I won't mention yesterday's ordeal since it would undermine my claim.
