    Underhammer question

    That may have to do with the year of my catalog, my guess around 1971?

    Underhammer question

    This should help a bit. And remember H&A used two different nipple thread pitches during the time they made them, back in the day I visited their place.

    Carburetor cleaner

    Hot water and soap for me. If I'm cleaning the bores at the skeet field I use window washer fluid since no water at range.

    I saved a plank

    Hello All. Here is the story, last Thursday I got a call from a club member that another club member dropped off some stuff he wouldn't be using anymore and did I want the items. I said yes as I knew the new members of the club would just think the wood was for the fireplace. Yesterday at the...

    Double barrel shotgun

    I hate jumping in on a thread by the OP, but it may help him also. Firstly I have a few English proofed SxS stamped with the 13, both ML and breach loaders. Correct me if I'm wrong but the 13 shows the bore ID at proofing (.710). And if it exceeds 0.010 over bore it is considered out of proof...

    Any SxS trap shooters out there?

    I shoot skeet with most of my SxS. I really started testing myself this winter with the 16ga flintlock made about 1890? I was using sheep wool as wadding that is what you see in the video. I miss a lot but hit enough that I wouldn't go hungry if hunting.

    Do you shoot old "Originals"?

    That is my greatest joy, bringing back an original one to shooting condition. Recently was I breaking clays with a 16b SxS flintlock.

    Cased LeMat

    I like it, and does Bill Shumate have a website? I have a few original pistols that should be cased. Again well done

    Hopkins and Allen .45 underhammer

    Both of mine have the 1/2 cock. Since I never wore glasses while hunting I felt the under hammer was perfect. A tiny drop of nail polish made sure I never lost a cap while hunting.

    Irish guns?

    My great uncle was in the Balloon Corp in WWI and that was a real dangerous job. Edward Coffey was KIA two days after I was wounded. Your photo must have been taken many years ago as I believe I am the only visitor in recent years.

    A relative perhaps Tom?

    Early 1800 Shotgun - Belgian?

    Tested two yesterday, this is how it is done by many folks. The tire gives, so less strain on wood than firmly lashing down.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Shot Skeet today with a 1863 Westley Richards 16b and a 16b flint lock SxS. I did hit a couple with the flintlock, no wonder that clergyman invented the percussion system.

    Fixing Locks

    I sure wish I had seen this great thread earlier. I had both locks apart and cleaned and inspected but had I read this post first I would have made a few fixes. Dave, you should appreciate the posting I made recently about my recent purchase as you know the quality of the current reproductions...

    Early reproduction?

    The barrels and breach plugs are fine, I checked them out today with my bore scope. No rust in the barrels only a rough finish. The barrels are fluid steel and so thick that's why it is so heavy that and the length. It weighs 9 pounds 14 ounces. I have good flints but not wasting them on testing...
