    Essential ML items

    Thanks for the good info. Do you or anyone else know of a good BP loading/cleaning ramrod kit (includes jag, ball and patch pullers, etc) that is long enough for a .50 cal/39" barrel? I am reluctant to purchase individually because of the different threads from different manufacturers. Thank you.

    Essential ML items

    Can you experienced MLrs help me with a basic list of items that are necessary to be able to shoot/maintain a BP firearm? I have to drive 3 hrs. one way to get components and don't know enough yet of what I need to order thru catalog or online. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. :hatsoff:

    Used ML

    I ordered a kit gun. Realized it was too much technical metal/woodworking for me and returned it; ordered a used Pedersoli perc. .50 cal (1-48" ROT) (39" barrel) instead. Looking for 1)input on cleaning before firing, 2)pre-firing inspection list, any other useful help/info? Still haven't fired...

    Cleaning ML

    Still don't have rifle kit yet, but came across an item I need help on. Researching cleaning methods, I found one outfit that says to never remove the breach plug for cleaning(should only be done by gunsmith). The other says every 25-50 shots remove it for cleaning. Thanks in advance

    Minnie/conical in 1-70" twist

    Please forgive my ignorance. How does a minnie/conical perform in a longer .50 cal ROT (1-70") compared to the round ball? Thanks for your help!

    Boy did I touch a nerve with that question! (APP) I think I will start with 2F GEOX. Thanks for your input!

    Percussion rifle components?

    Bob is a wonderful source of information! What a depth of knowledge. By the way, my Dad graduated from Illinois circa 1940 and lived in Glenellen(sp)? Went to GlenBar (sp) H.S. Thanks for the help.
