    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...

    shootin at 150 yds

    This is an interesting topic. I'm sure the "long shots of yore" has been overly romanticized by all of us modern BP shooters. I know I have. There have been some interesting points made about the equipment, powder, ball and patches riflemen of 250 years ago being sub-par when compared to what...

    .45 caliber vs .50 caliber

    I think the issue of finding extras for your rifle caliber is pretty much irrelevant. With the internet you can find anything you want. Where I live (San Diego, CA) there is almost nothing available off the shelf, so I order EVERYTHING online, even my rifle. :grin:

    New Flintlock Will Not Shoot Round Balls

    ruderam Perhaps it would be helpful if you write out step by step every thing you do while loading a patched RB (including how you lube the patch and what you use to do so) Put every detail down and what you are using. Maybe this will clarify the problem... One thing we can be sure of, its not...

    Aperture sights on American longrifles - again

    I would think people did all sorts of custom work to their rifles, just like they do now. So if the sight existed in that time period, which it did, then someone put one on an American long rifle. When you consider also how important hitting with the first (and only) shot was then AND that...

    Swiss 3f

    There was a post here a while back about velocity between swiss and goex. The guy who used swiss seemed to be getting the same velocity from 40 grains as the guy who used 60-65 grains of goex. Both were shooting .40 cals, ALSO the guy using swiss was shooting a short barrel, maybe 32 inches...
