    Breechplug blowby

    I have a Jonathan Browning Mtn. rifle that was left loaded for years and of course the end of the barrel and breech plug are corroded. I have removed the plug and cleaned both it and the barrel however when I took it to shoot yesterday I discovered there was some blowby between the breechplug...

    Jonathan Browning Mtn. rifle

    I recently purchased a JBMR and on arrival I discovered that it had been stored loaded. I managed to remove the charge however it was obvious by its condition that it had been in there for years. I ran a wet cleaning patch down the bore and when I tried to pull it out it was stuck in the bore. I...

    Black vs. Pyrodex

    My grandson asked me the other day about something I have never considered in forty years of black powder shooting. The background is: I just purchased a 50 cal TC Hawken and a load of supplies for a ridiculous price. Amongst the items was three containers of Pyrodex 2 rifle,2 pistol. We shot...

    Jonathan Browning .45

    had a bad morning cleaning my JB Mountain rifle. I pushed a wet patch down the barrel with a cleaning jag on the end of my range rod and the jag snapped off. No idea why or how. Now I have a jag and patch stuck at the breech. My options appear to be 1.Wait until our next shoot in July and use...

    CVA Mt. Rifle

    Just acquired a Flintlock CVA Mt. rifle in great shape from a local shop for $175.00. The lock does not seem to be of the best quality from what I have read so I am thinking of changing it out with a L&R replacement. Will this be a simple drop in replacement or will there be some fitting...

    Jonathan Browning Conversion

    I have a Browning Mt. Rifle stock, no barrel, no lock. Would it be possible to convert it to a custom barrel flintlock? The stock is inlet for a cap lock as it is. Would it be difficult to fit a flint lock even though it is already inlet? I would keep the 1" barrel channel and would like to use...

    Thanks to Dale Hubbard

    Refinishing stock on CVA Mtn. Rifle

    I acquired a CVA Mountain rifle that had seen better days. I got it because it is intact except for the barrel wedges and the barrel is marked Made in USA. The bore is fine and I have disassembled the lock and trigger set cleaned and oiled them (they had a lot of surface rust) and I am now...

    T/C Renegade

    About three weeks ago I posted here that I had just purchased a T/C Renegade stock with a 32 inch Sharon barrel for 185.00. Well, I finally got to spend some time with it today and all I can say is WOW. 50 grains of 2f powder, .490 round ball with .018 ticking put me about 2 inches under the...

    Bought TC Renegade

    Went to a local gunshow in Florida yesterday. Three or four guys with blackpowder guns for sale and I came across one guy selling a TC Renegade with a Sharon barrel in 45 cal. The gun was extremely clean outside and the bore looked great. I asked what he wanted for it and he said $200.00, and we...

    Mowrey Nipple size

    Does anyone know the tap size to clean out the threads on a Mowrey rifle nipple? I am assuming that it is not metric however not being especially mechanically inclined I thought I would ask the experts. Thanks

    Mark one off bucket list

    Docs said I should have been gone 2 years ago, colon cancer, then lung cancer, now liver cancer BUT they are wrong. Yesterday decide to check one more item off my bucket list and went hog hunting with friends in Florida. Took my Lyman 50cal GPR while they took cartridge rifles. I dropped a 225...

    Patch thickness

    I have been shooting a GPR in 50 cal. for about six months now. I read the forum religiously but understanding how to determine patch thickness is something I have not seen discussed. Everyone mentions .010 or .015 or other thicknesses but no where have I seen anyone explain how to determine...

    Mowrey Mainspring

    Does anyone know where I can get a Mowrey mainspring? Mine is an Olney Texas gun so apparently the lock parts at Deer Creek won't fit. I guess I need a Mowrey original or someone who reproduces them. Also where does one buy some brass shim stock. The area where the bottom tip of the mainspring...

    Bore light

    I have what I believe is a CVA drop-in bore light. I have no instructions for it and it does not work. Does anyone have or know the battery size and assembly instructions? It is a brass "barrel" with a knurled knob at one end that can be turned into or out of the brass "barrel". The other end...

    Pedersoli trigger problem

    I recently acquired a Pedersoli 45 cal Pennsylvania rifle. It looks brand new and the guy I got it from said that he bought it several years ago but had never fired it because he couldn't get the set triggers to work. I know very little about the mechanics of triggers however the rifle was such...

    Mowrey rifle

    I have recently acquired a non-working Mowrey rifle as part of a deal. I removed the brass sideplate and discovered the large horseshoe shaped spring is loose in the lock. I would like to locate someone who could repair the lock and return the rifle to shooting condition. Any suggestions would...
