I donāt know nothing and Iād shoot that. Make sure you only use real blackpowder like Goex, not modern gun powder.
Swiss would be ālikeā Goex. I mean any real blackpowder and not anything modern, including blackpowder substitutes since the gun in question is a flintlock.Are you saying that Swiss black powder is not real black powder? On what basis are you making that claim?

You are welcome!The Aubonne Black Powder Mill (Swiss Black Powder Factory) was founded in 1853. I guess that they might just be 'like' your GOEX product.
You are welcome!
I was about to post thatThat's a fine rifle. Mail it to me and I'll test fire it for about 20 years...
It matters not to me is they use caps, lower case, or Times New Roman font.@ZUG, it means we ran off another forum member with our criticism of his use of all caps in his posts.
Amen . lighten up folks.It matters not to me is they use caps, lower case, or Times New Roman font.
If someone is so offended by all CAPS, or so offended by others pointing out the rules of not using all caps, then as my coworker of 15 years often said, "we have become a nation of people waiting to be offended."
I recommend we all get some sunlight and trigger time at our local range.
Nothing clears the senses better than Holy Black Powder.
be careful pathfinder. just thinking that can cause cancer in california.I shudder to think what would have happened had the OP typed in all CAPITAL BOLD letters
Some of us appreciate caps sometimes with these old eyes don't always have my glasses on and don't always punctuate properly hope that doesn't bother anyoneGood looking gun. But hey, get rid of the all caps. Very distracting.
I was under the impression Swiss used a different wood to make their charcoal with than Goex.Many suspect that Swiss black powder contains some additive... because it stands out from the others. But these are just conspiracy theories... lol!
Actually, I just go over the text and donāt read it. If someone is butthurt by thatā¦ wow, welcome late to the internet party. I got told that almost 30 years ago. Heeded it too.seems some folks really need to get a life!! if CAPS are the worse thing you can find wrong with the world open you curtains or call yourself a wambulance.
Swiss Black Powder is made entirely with alder buckthorn charcoal and looks rather like graphite. The shooting powder is graded 1-5 under the European classification system, and 1Fg-4Fg using the Anglo-American scale. These classes identify the dimensions and number of corns per gram.I was under the impression Swiss used a different wood to make their charcoal with than Goex.
I know in my testing the standard deviation was smaller with Swiss than Goex so that is what I shot back when I was heavy into competition.
Its a Stamp OL Reliable suggests a budding barrel maker or just whimsy ,Why that markThe barrel maker is NOT old reliable. Pull the barrel, and it should be marked with the manufacturer.
Probably something the builder decided to name the gun. JAM is also probably the initials of the builder.
"Non lligitimus carborundum." Was I think the banner of the. Whitehorse Yukon Star newspaper I thought it summed up the region. But been years since I was up there .There are certainly members here that would like you to stick around for your knowledge of antique firearms. I too get annoyed with the complaints that were overly mentioned. And I have been put off by (unnecessarily) negative comments to my posts. this is a good forum with lots of informative folks on here. I remember a sign on my buddies wall in college. It was in Latin but the translation was: "don't let the bast@*ds get you down".
