    Coins

    Im looking into building another rifle. The more I look, the more I find what I have may be better than what I can build. I am looking at the one screw lock mount of a southern rifle. Thinking about using a 1792 repop coin as a washer. Smallest Ive found is a 3/4 inch diameter one. Anyone...

    Patch Proof

    Wont sludge up like those who use petroleum based oils. A few flakes came off the breech plug. I dont use a scraper, wire brush or any other mechanical devices. Just cleaner and patches. No water, no rust.

    Pedersoli locks bad?

    I bought my Pedosorry in 1992, the lock was bad then too.

    Frustrated - Hopefully just the growing pains of a newbie

    Burnt black powder and petroleum oil make sludge. You have a sludge factory. Water under the bridge. Any water based soap down the barrel and through the touch hole. We use a rubber tipped nozzle and 160lb of compressed air.

    Simple question…..

    I have to add that it also depends on WHO's lock you are using. Chamber's locks are milled tight. So just a crayon is all I use. At Rony where you are shooting more than one shot. I can see sloppy fitting frizzen getting the powder wet. I had one once. I kept it cover white shooting 25-75...

    Patch Proof

    Some folks say bad stuff about Thompson Center 1000+ bore butter. Back in October I cleaned my rifle for the end of season. I pulled it out today to get ready for the first rondy (3 weeks!!) I ran this patch down the barrel and spun it around when it hit the plug. As you can see, there is some...

    The information here.....

    Review everything and make up your own mind. On several firearm subjects on you tube, there are no correct videos. Others trying to figure it out, just like the rest of us.

    JB Weld on frizzen to hold powder?

    Seems like another production gun problem. I just checked my Chamber's lock. Both the pan and frizzen show no daylight through them. Machining the parts so they fit would be the way to go. Gluing stuff is just a stop gap measure.

    “Waterproofing” your lock

    Bright colors work best so you can see where you laid it down at. I dont color my BP lube.
