    Best way to safely remove rust

    I use to use electrolysis but believe it or not have found Evapo-rust to be superior. Evapo-rust is not corrosive.

    Best way to safely remove rust

    I had a muzzleloader I bought for parts at a flea market. Out of curiosity I soaked it in Evaporust. It turned out to be a shooter. Evaporust breaks down the rust but will not damage the metal.

    George Shumway

    Thanks guys. I am happy to have the book. I appreciate the personal details. It sounds like Mr. Shumway was a man who gave back more to this world than he took. A rare gentleman.

    George Shumway

    I recently purchase an auction lot of 5 books and this one was in it. Appears to have been signed by the author George Shumway. Great little book and kind of neat that Mr. Shumway signed it for the previous owner. Do any of you guys know Mr. Shumway?

    1863 Remington Finish

    I had 2 deerhunters, a flint and a percussion. Both .50s and both very accurate.

    Black Powder fouling in 54

    This has been my experience. . I bet I shot 30 or 40 rb through an InvestArms. 45 Hawken and never wiped the bore.

    Unreliable ignition Traditions Hawken Percussion

    I have a Traditions Deerhunter. Had a similar issue. Are you smacking the rifle a few times after adding powder but before the bullet to make sure you are getting powder into the channel under the nipple? That solved my problem.
