    Patch material

    Walmart-JoAnnes, probably the same fabric from same weaver just half the price at Walmart. But yes, get a half yard of each and see what works best for you. I like on the thinner side so the ball loads and pulls easily without loosing accuracy.

    Shooting into......

    I cut up pine and stack it 3-4 rows deep like firewood, as the pieces get shot up I can switch them out and retrieve my lead. I only use pine especially in the first row or two, I have bit hit by a returning FMJ 45acp by a frozen oak log.

    Old family horn

    Off the top of my head I would say 1830-1870 by the size and styling but that ring looks fairly modern so could be 1970-1990. Either way it's a beauty ( I kind of admire the simpler working horns).

    Do not buy an 1862 Police from Midway

    And often it's the buyer who is not familiar with the products. Did you contact them about returning it first.

    Do not buy an 1862 Police from Midway

    Yeah and it has about as much in common with the copies of civil war era guns as a Glock. He wanted a small historical style pistol and ordered one, he didn't want a big 20th century style revolver although they are dang good.

    Might as well by a Glock, about as historically accurate as one.

    I would look at fullstock trade rifles of the early to mid 19th century and go with whatever color seems the most popular.

    WASP NEST WADDING?

    Cotton balls are very flammable. a can of wasp spray and "SHAZAM" you have wadding.

    As long as you have it stripped and taken apart you could shorten the forearm several inches (where the entry pipe goes into the stock and thin and round it full length as well. I don't know why on reproduction guns they make the forearm so long. It can make the rifle so much slimmer and...

    WASP NEST WADDING?

    The fun part is the collecting of wasp nests. Probably as close as we can get to today to a attack by angry Comanches. lol. Actually nests give me something to hunt on winter hikes after grouse season closes. I use them primarily for smoothbore wadding.

    Check Deer Creek Muzzleloading for a new tang bolt or take it with to match up at local hardware or automotive. Needs a much larger head on that bolt, Supposed to be metric.

    It must be a replacement, it's in there but counter sunk deep. almost too deep to be much good.

    Leave it be, a nicely used rifle looks much better than a new looking one that lives in a safe. This way too you will not be afraid to use the heck out of it. Nice deal.

    Uggg Crud Ring Attack

    But, that is comparing a 128gr, ball to a 405gr. bullet. Like comparing a .22lr to a 30-30.
