    Advice on mid 1800s muzzleloader by Jacob D. Schrock

    From the style of the forestock end, and the 1/2 round to octogon barrel, I'd guess 1875-1890. The pinned stock (to the barrel) is pretty common, also. :hmm:

    DGW Lancaster - $75 bucks?

    It is really hard to get much of anthing over 75 bucks around here for an inline that is used. I guess those who want them, have them. :yakyak:

    Anti-seize

    I've used it for years on nipple and clean-out screw. Just a smidgen will do yuh! :grin:

    Barrel Burnishing

    I agree with just shooting it. The patches will burnish the barrel eventually. I read somewhere in an old book that linen patches really work well for this. Unfortunatly, linen is expensive! :hmm:

    Nipple Removal

    I second using just a touch of anti-seize on the nipple threads. I put them on the clean out screw as well. Keeps the screw driver slot from getting all messed up too!! :hatsoff:

    TC Hawkin 50cal

    :yakyak: I've seen these on gunbroker from $250 all the way to $450. And rough ones from $150 and up. :hmm: So I'd say realistically, $300-$400 for your minty one!!

    Bulged My Barrel

    :cursing: I'd keep using it, if it still is accurate. Maybe target and small game loads only. My Jukar barrel is very accurate--I presume yours is too. :v

    Swiss percussion rifle

    I've heard good things about that vent on the side of the bolster relieving air pressure upon firing. The deep grooves and rapid twist suggest it was for cloth patched picket bullets. I wouldn't try naked bullets until I was sure of the bore size. Too much chance of leading from an under-sized...

    36 vs 44 in CB

    Well, the 1858 Remington fits my hand better, balances better, and points better for me than the 1860 Colt. I'm only 6'1" and 290 lbs, so my hands must be smaller I guess than bigger guys. Hickock must have had small hands as well, as he used 1851 Navies. They also fit my hands and point well...

    it's 1862, what pistol would you carry?

    I'd carry what points best for me, which is an 1851 Navy Colt. I'd load it with conicals to get more oomph than 36 rb's. If not that, the 44 Remington fits my hand and balances better for me than the 1860 Colt. :hmm: :applause: :applause:

    Advice on manufacturers

    FWIW, I have had both the traditions ky and the Jukar. I lost the traditions in a fire, bought the Jukar lately. I like it much better than the traditions even though it is the same rifle. Different qualities of manufacture, seems to me the traditions is built to a lower price point. :hmm:

    GPR sighting in questions

    General Geo. Custer used a 50-70 Remington for hunting buffalo and other game. True, it fired a conical bullet, but if Custer got along with 70 grns of either 2f or 1f powder, I guess I can too.
