Sorry about that Gerry, I am new to computors and hit that by mistake and thought I nullified it. Email me at [email protected]. Now can someone tell me how to reverse what I did?

Gerry did you ever get that pistol squared away?
I got .495 round ball with the pistol and I couldn't get it down the barrel with a patch so used it without. I will try .490 balls next time. I haven't been able to take the gun apart yet. Perhaps instead of pouring hot water down the barrel, I'll try just swabbing the barrel with hot water, then oiling it when it's dry. I have been using Bore Butter with my other front loaders but after reading all the posts against it on the forums, I think I will go to regular oil.

If the gun is a caplock, just stick a length of surgical tubing over the nipple and drop the other end into a pan of water, doesn't need to be hot really, pour a bit down the barrel and pump with a wet patch, this will clean the breech, bolster, nipple as well. dry well with patches, pipe cleaners and Q tips or a blow dryer will aide in drying the bolster after removing the nipple, lube with whatever you chose and check for a couple of days with a dry patch to see if rust has begun.
