What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[SciAggie]

Waiting on things in the mail is just awful. So my muzzleloading stuff for today is anticipating getting muzzleloading stuff…

I had the past two days to go to the woods. About a foot of fresh snow. Got to wear my new Capote made by ClanMan on this board, and shoot my flintlock!!!!
Good times!

Actually, that was a heavy cream carton. Very dangerous those! Two reasons I kept looking at the carton; the misfire could have become a hangfire without any warning so you keep the gun pointed down range for a while, and I was also looking to see if maybe I had nicked it and it was slowly bleeding to death.

Well, even with the struggles, you creamed it in the end!

I owned a Pedersoli Queen Anne at one point, the muzzle flare made it extremely difficult to use. I was younger and less patient than I am now, so I sold it to @cynthialee. Hopefully she enjoyed it more than I did.

well I traded it for an 1863 pocket pistol with a conversion cylinder and the normal one

I did have fun with it for a while, but I prefer percussion cap firearms. Never had a problem with it at all. Fired every time I pulled the trigger. Just didn't like the big flash from the pan. I had to be very aware of myself to not flinch when it fired.

Can relate, waiting on a kit from the Rifle Shoppe.

Yep, my 2-3 week wait, which I really didn't believe, has turned into 5 plus weeks now. Wish I'd just been told 2 or 3 months.

When you get it figured out please post your results. I can hardly keep my shots on a piece of poster board at 15 steps.

Nice looking pistol.

Bought a Revolving Carbine and shoulder stock for 1860 Pietta

Waiting on a new Pietta Remington 1858 Texas Nickle .44 from Muzzle-Loaders so I can try out the 1000 round balls I received from them last week. What was I thinking????

 

[Dale Allen Raby]

Today ended up with a stuck ball with a charge under it. Didn't clean guns last night. Took it to the shed and used brass hammer to seat the ball. Worked. Took frustrations out on aluminum soda can. Now gonna clean guns.

I took apart the lock on my Indian Trade musket and polished everything. Did a little bit of edge breaking here and there, too.
Waaaay better. I would not say it is any lighter, although it must be, but it's a lot smoother when cocking and pulling the trigger and that difference is easily noticed.

I'm thinking about throwing a bag together and taking it out back to do a little offhand shooting.

Watching the "Gunsmith of Williamsburg".

 

[pacanis]

I've been meaning to give that another watch myself.

Saw a video of that on YouTube; loved it!

Yes, I've seen it several times, but it had been awhile. Great to watch.

Made shot cartridge for my shotgun.

 

[2 shots]

Took a Hogue pistol grip and epoxied a wooden tenon in place. It will be glued into the stock mortise and cross pinned.

is that an 1860's
'A team' folding front stuffer??

 

[Muley Gil]

Loaded up some .69 tubes with powder and .678 round balls for my original 1842 Harpers Ferry musket. Lock is marked 1844 and barrel is 1845, so it's a fairly early one. I've had this musket for over 15 years and hadn't shot it until Sunday. Went BOOM! every time. Hits were scattered at 25 yards and low. Need to bench it.

 

[Dale Allen Raby]

How much was shipping and hazmat?

Not certain.... $30.00 combined?
