New Veteran Arms Charleville Musket frizzen/spring questions
I must be looking at it wrong. I considered trying to do something similar but with the screw removed it only pushes it further away- 22dr45

New Veteran Arms Charleville Musket frizzen/spring questions
Received my new musket yesterday. Other than the Styrofoam packing peanuts VERY happy with it. Ordered it with some spare flints, a sling and a brass flash guard. I think I have the sling right, buckle away from the wood on muzzle end ring. Lace up loop on the buttstock end bitter end...- 22dr45

Cleaning pitted bore
It is already broke, so you can't broke it any worse. At a yard sale, I bought a .54cal cap lock Hawken that had many years ago been shot and never cleaned. Visually I could not tell if it was a smooth bore or rifled. The sensible part of me said walk away. I pulled the ram rod and it was so...- 22dr45

Greenhorn with Flintlock
Yes what he said, patched round ball is likely the slow twist rate you have. Having a small quill or pick to verify the touch hole is clear each time you load is crucial. The gent who taught me said to roll the rifle to the right as you shoulder it. That pushes the priming powder away from...- 22dr45

Non-Firing replica 1766 Charleville Infantry Musket
Wow, didn't mean to start a skirmish (good thing I didn't ask about what kind of bee is used in your beeswax) The gun I'm wanting is one similar to what the seditious colonist might have used against her majesties troops. The French 1766 Charleville pattern. I would like something that is...- 22dr45
