    How Often Did Historic Muzzleloader Get Cleaned

    With the large number of freshening rods some of the gunsmiths had on hand. I have to wonder if it was low grade iron or lack of good cleaning requiring a freshening

    How Often Did Historic Muzzleloader Get Cleaned

    I read and if memory serves in a 1930s American rifleman magazine, Wild Bill would fire them every morning and reload. Nit sure if he cleaned them. I'm going to find that magazine

    Fun with a blanket gun

    I recently picked up a Northstar blanket gun from Rob M. Rob is great to deal with, gun as described and he is a fast shipper. I picked this up for having fun. It's been fun. I may someday put it back together with longarm stock and barrel . In the meantime I'll enjoy it as is.

    Poor quality #11 caps

    It's different word now. When I was young I would buy a tin of caps and use them up. Go buy another tin. Now better buy a bunch because in a few months no where to be found

    Poor quality #11 caps

    Thanks for the replies folks. Due to my job I don't have a typical 9to5 weekends off job. My time off is late November till January. I didn't want to buy a bunch of caps just to find out there was a quality control issue. And then late November caps were not to be found. It seemed prudent to ask.

    Poor quality #11 caps

    I've noticed CCI caps coming into the marketplace. I've bought a few tins to keep stocked up. I have heard the quality control on these caps is bad. Any thoughts?

    Field/Farm Use of Cap & Ball Revolver

    There are 10 pages in this thread. I didn't read them all and may have missed something. I have read that Bill Hickcock would fire his revolvers at a target every morning, clean and reload for the day. This probably accomplished a few things. It kept his caps and charges fresh. It kept him in...
