    Penny For Your Thoughts? Pawn Shop Find.

    It looks very much like a Dixie Gun Works southern mountain rifle to me with some parts inletted into the stock.

    What are your favorite Thompson Center (T/C) Percussion guns?

    I only have one T/C Hawken, .45 calibre caplock. It was my starter rifle, the one that lead me to the dark side. Flintlocks.

    Homemade cleaning Patches

    For all the married men, another source of patch material, ASK your wife for all old underwear, well washed of course. It will give her an excuse to buy new and you are doing your part by repurposing the knickers into cleaning patches. My S-I-L passed away and there was a drawer full of...

    Caps Made In Idaho

    Who makes Winchester caps? I went into my stash of caps looking for Winchester and found not one tin. I thought I could find an answer there but no such luck. I have CCI and RWS but no other brands. Curious mind want to know.

    Caps Redux

    Here is another option. Vacation time from work, make a road trip to Missouri. Take an empty cooler or two for storage. Visit Graf's and buy powder in your favorite Fg. Midway USA is close by. They sell power too. NMLRA in Friendship, Indiana has powder if you are a member. Or if you have...

    Caps Redux

    I buy in bulk. Black Powder, Goex or Schutzen, #10, #11, musket, flints. This way, I have enough to last for a long, long time. I do realize that not everyone is in position to be able to make large purchases but if you can do it, rock on with your bad self. There is some comfort in knowing...

    Opening the ramrod thimbles

    Sanding the new rod is IMHO, the better way to go. Or, as another option, order larger thimbles. Just my $0.02

    Hornady making primers and/or caps?

    I did not see anything about a new plant on Hornady Facebook page, only news about the SHOT show.

    RWS #11 Percussion Caps

    Before loading any caplock M/L, cap and fire on an empty barrel at least two times. This will clear the flash channel of any blockage, be it oil or some fouling. Point the first capped shot downrange, then the second cap shot, point the firearm toward the ground. You should see grass or dirt...

    RWS #11 Percussion Caps

    RWS caps are good quality caps. I think they are a little hotter than CCI or Remington caps. They are labeled as #1075, or 10 3/4. Useable for 10 or 11 cap.

    Ever let one go That you Should have Kept? (p1853 Enfield)

    Like the OP, I sold a three band P-H to an reenactor. And one unmentionable rifle.
