    Bore button homemade

    Do you cut the button to bore size, or just a touch bigger to fill the rifling grooves? -GB

    Single-Shot pistol handle shape

    It seems a revolver and a pair of rifles is not enough, I suddenly "need" to have a single-shot pistol, preferably flintlock. I've seen a variety of handle shapes, ranging from just sort of 'bent' like a plow handle to curly almost like an umbrella handle to some funky handle presumably on a...

    Maxi ball and Lee REAL lube

    Just don't let your dogs get at it. The dogs ate all my lube (both my tin of mink oil and my tub of beeswax/coconut-oil/olive-oil) -GB

    Correct flint size

    This page : https://www.trackofthewolf.com/List/Item.aspx/141/1 claims 1/2" x 5/8" for the pedersoli kentucky, but I'm not sure it uses the same lock as the pennsylvania. I suspect either Track or Pedersoli could tell you though. I emailed track to verify when I bought a batch of flints for...

    prices?

    I like my Remington, but I'd like to try a Colt next. I've heard lots of folks swear by the 'pointability' of the Colt Navy revolvers. I'm funny though and I'd prefer mine in 36 cal like the originals rather than 44 cal like many of the repros. When I was looking into CAS I was contemplating...

    prices?

    I also have a black powder revolver from Cabelas (though mine is a steel framed Remington). There are all kinds of accessories available, but these are the ones I have found most useful : Powder Flask https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PW9EJ6/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's...

    Do all break-action ML rifles disassemble easily into 2 pieces?

    https://www.traditionsfirearms.com/category/Tennessee-Rifle That may fit your bill. 24" barrel and since it's keyed (not pinned) I'm assuming it has a hook breech. Be aware that the front key and back key might not be the same. -GB

    Do all break-action ML rifles disassemble easily into 2 pieces?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "break action muzzleloader". I have 2 muzzle-loading rifles -- a traditions Springfield Hawken (percussion), and a Dixie TN Mountain Rifle (flintlock). My 'Hawken' has a hooked breech and a key, and the barrel is removable. The flintlock, however, has a pinned...

    Winchester Magnum Caps

    They fired fine (when they didn't fall off), but they were a loose fit on my Pietta Remington. -GB

    Sight In For .32 Crockett

    Sounds like a good reason to head to the range... "Sorry, honey, can't help with the dishes today. I've got to go work up a ~30gr load for my muzzleloader." -GB (who is thinking Sunday Afternoon sounds like a FINE time to head to the range and do a bit of 25yard plinking with low-velocity...

    Rebore Renegade 54 to ???

    Did it handle anything like a shotgun, or was it still more like a rifle? Now that I have a flintlock in .50 I've thought about having this done to my caplock (a traditions Springfield Hawken in .50), but worry that it won't be well suited to it's new purpose (small game, squirrel/rabbit with...

    Sight In For .32 Crockett

    Man y'all are making me wish the crockett came left handed. I really want to take a muzzle-loader small game hunting, but if a .32 with 20 grains of powder behind it cuts a rabbit in half, what will a .50 do? -GB
