This item which is not H/C combines two items that are in a device totally hand made of natural materials and finished with bees wax and linseed oil. Piney Creek

Interesting concept.

The ball block around my neck with eight patched round balls and a militia cartridge belt block with eight weighed charges does about the same thing. Interesting idea.

Interesting concept. How does one get the patched ball out of the loading block arrangement?

Oh. Let me guess,,,,, short starter.

Might be interesting to make one without the loading block lid, but make the holes deep enough to hold the powder cartridge and the ball. Ball at the bottom as it is loaded after the powder.

Great idea--5-shot magazine even legal in New Yawk!

Hey all, help me out ... I hail from Bahston (that’s ‘Boston’ to y’all) ... what’s a ‘short stahtah’?

 

[Zonie]

A shaut stahtah is somethin used ta staut tha patched ball into the barrel.

It is usually a wood ball about 2 1/2 inches in diamattah with a short dowel and a long dowel stickin' out of it.

The short dowel is forh getting the ball abouht 1/8 inch into the muzzle. The long dowel is forh getting it down about 2 or so inches so a regulah ramrod can be used.

I've never figured out why folks up there say "I am going to open a draw to look for that droring" instead of "I'm going to open a drawer to look for that drawing." Strange way of talking if you ask me.

OOOh! that detachable homemade wood rapid firing magazine wood make the California ATF girls have a hemmorage ! It is a bit complicated, it took some right smarts to devise something that sweet looking.

It's the law of constant consonants. The r that falls off the end of drawer comes to light in the middle of droring, thus preserving the consonant .

I have never needed to use a starter of any kind with my ball blocks. I choke up on the ramrod, it works.

It is a mythological miniature loading rod for pushing pre-patched round balls into the muzzle of a muzzleloading rifle during the ironpyrite age of muzzleloading in the 1970s. I could be wrong, but I believe leprechauns might still carry them to load their canoe guns when hunting Easter Bunnies.

 

[toot]

is a shaut stahtah, the same as NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDDAH?

 

[Jay]

This is great now I can start working on a bump stock for my muzzleloader

It all sounds a little wid to me.

This is the closest things I could find.





I wonder if Davide Pedersoli has seen those guns.

 

[Grenadier1758]

I've been meaning to display my reloading magazine. I can have three shots in my pocket if I have a pan primer.

For those from Bahstahn, the tombstone end with the dowel will drive the ball in the loading block end into the barrel acting as a shawt stawteh. Use the ramrod to push the ball to the breech.

As I recall, the basic plans were in "Muzzleloader Magazine" many years ago.

 

[Carbon 6]

I thought this was a muzzleloader magazine.
