    Ordered a Crockett .32

    I just bought a Crockett, also. When I took it out of the box ( it was new) it looked great BUT when I went to clean it it was SUPER dirty. It had obviously been shot more than just a couple time and not cleaned. There is a rough section in the barrel about 6-8 inches up from the bottom I...

    Front sight moving

    I just replaced my front sight last week. The new sight I ordered would slide right through the dove tail cut out on my barrel. I put it into a vise blade down and used a punch to widen the brass base of the sight. It doesn't take much force so use a smaller hammer and a light touch AND stay...

    Long barrel cleaning issue

    Nice guns...are you really tall? :wink: I'd be interested to see the velocity that long barrel gets.

    Dangerous mass produced muzzleloaders

    Seems to me the Japanese have known about good metal for a loong time. :grin: I'm not sure what one would have to do to a ML made of modern steel to burst it. You think about how much metal is around the chamber and how much lower the PSI is for BP vs. modern smokeless powder... :idunno...

    What size flint Pedersoli Kentucky?

    Kapow, Its a nice rifle, I've been pleased with mine. It was pretty accurate right from the start, shooting straight but low. I did buy a new thinner front sight for it. The factory sight is a bit fat for my liking. Enjoy! ~Dig

    Bench rest shooting

    Hi all, What do you use to support the barrel of your rifle when you shoot from the bench? I have been meaning to buy something for a while now but every time I look the bags I see in the stores just seem poor quality. Thanks, Dig

    What size flint Pedersoli Kentucky?

    Kapow, I just measured the flint that came with my rifle. Its 5/8s by 5/8s square. A 1/2" wide by 5/8s long will work fine too looking at the lock. Actually 5/8s seems a bit wide. ~Dig

    What size flint Pedersoli Kentucky?

    Kapow, My rifle came with a flint so you are probably good as long as they didn't change their ways. ~Dig

    New to shooting Black Powder

    Barred Owl, This isn't exactly what I got but it pretty much the same thing. http://www.octobercountry.com/products/OC-Bench-Rod-w%7B47%7DWood-Handle-.html

    New to shooting Black Powder

    Barred Owl, I've a pedersoli also, same as yours. One big tip I got was to buy a "range" rod. Don't know if you have done this but I thought I'd put it out there. It made a huge difference in ease of loading for me. I bought a single piece brass rod made for a .50 cal rifle. I got it...

    Hydrostatic or blood loss?

    okawbow, That is an interesting difference to see in RB performance. Don't see too many RB getting smashed up like that!! I would have to agree that the mashed ball did a lot more damage causing rapid blood loss.

    Hydrostatic or blood loss?

    I've never bought into the idea of HS killing personally. If it were true EVERY animal hit with a HV bullet would drop dead in its tracks. Obviously that doesn't happen. What I do think HS does is cause more damage around the area of the bullets path, thus probably causing a quicker death...
