    Slow ignition on my Deerstalker

    Before I shoot mine after cleaning it I pop one or two caps on it to dry the channel out. I then take the nipple out clean it good and then clean the channel out with pipe cleaners. I took the #11 nipples out of my rifles and changed them over to shoot musket caps. I get lots more fire with...

    Ok, so what now?

    Being married sometimes a little hearing loss is a good thing to have.

    Ok, so what now?

    You need some kind of hearing protection muffs or plugs. If I had been wearing some kind of protection years ago I would not have the hearing loss that I have now.

    How Not To Shoot a flintlock Pistol

    Well he did do one thing right. He told the woman to get back that she was to close. If I was her I would be way way back behind a brick wall. He is going to kill someone or himself. Stupid People Do Stupid Things.

    hunting with a Ruger Old Army

    Thats about the way the state regs are in Ga. You can not hunt with cap&ball revolver during muzzle loading season but you can during regular gun season. I know one thing for sure I am ready to put some smoke in the woods.

    Homemade casting pot

    Thats a good job on the pot. I do the same thing if I can make something to save money I will. Now you should have some extra money for some lead. Where there is a will there is a way.

    cva squirrel sights--too low

    I called cva years ago and ordered some front and rear sites for my rifles. My rifles shoot great with the adjustable sites. If you think you might want to change your sites call cva they should have what you need. My rifles shoot 100% better.
