I've told you the truth on my thread but if your to bull headed to recieve it then there is nothing any one can do for you.
That's good advice ,I receive it and will do better in the future. I tend to defend what I know to be correct information.I left this forum after years participating under a similar posting name. The ignorant and condescending bullies became to frustrating. After I came back I decided not to try to educated anyone or to prove I was right. I just put it out there and walk away. When somebody becomes nasty by making personal attacks I report them to the moderator. Arguing does not pay off.
I’ve had this happen, especially with my 58 caliber musket. If you don’t have the hammer at half cock when you swab, a vacuum will occur and suck a patch off the jag once it clears the muzzle. Surprised me, vacuum pulls the patch down the barrel quite a way. Didn’t make this mistake again?My nephew's rifle did that at a Fort TY match years ago. Scaping did not clear it. Finally we sent a patch grabber the 2 piece curled steel wires it drug up two patches that were against the breech face. Scoured the breech face with a copper breech brush and it was again shiny. Never did find out how the patches ended up there.
No need to be so "brusque" (!)does no one read the post!?
My wife tells me , It's all my fault. 55 yrs. worth. I accept......It's all good.......
If you feel the vacuum when wiping the bore, something is blocking the flash channel. In Quin's case, the hammer was down on an expended cap that effectively sealed the bore. Obviously, one needs to account for all the patches being used. But, one also needs to be aware what is being told to us by the rifle about conditions in the bore.I’ve had this happen, especially with my 58 caliber musket.

I look forward to what you find next time you go shooting. I've never understood people on the internet'need to insult or, their need to be right. Anyway, I am hoping things go better and you can report a success.

Can your ego even handle the possibility you are not right?Being right and getting want you want are not always the same thing.
Yeah, me too.I look forward to what you find next time you go shooting. I've never understood people on the internet'need to insult or, their need to be right. Anyway, I am hoping things go better and you can report a success.
How old is the oldest gun you've built?No one here is talking about " wonkie historical breech plug fitting" and yet you make statements without any substantiation.
