I’d say that 9.4 lbs is correct. I tried to weight it holding it on a bathroom scale. It came in right around 10lbs. Not the most precise scale for that.

He hardened a frizzen for me. Great guy and very fair with his prices.

I might regret this but I’m gonna let this rifle go. It’s a beautiful rifle but it’s way too heavy for what I want to use it for with an old shoulder injury. 10+ pounds. This is a new Lyman Great Plains Signature Series by Pedersoli I bought a few months ago. 54 caliber with 1/66 twist. I’ve...

Ardesa makes Traditions Branded muzzleloaders.

I was told cabelas is doing the same thing on ALL of their muzzleloaders. It’s a cover their butt thing I reckon. Cabelas won’t ship muzzleloaders directly to you anymore either. You must purchase in store.

I took this one in on a trade a while back and I’ve never shot it. It is pretty but I’d rather use the money on other fun flintlock stuff! If I was going to keep it, my ocd would have me filing all that “read directions use blackpowder only blah blah blah” crap off of the barrel. Traditions...

He’s been on the forum this week according to his profile. I’d be leery from buying from someone that ignores inquiries.

Long discontinued Traditions William Parker 50cal pistol. This one has seen some use. Some discoloration on the polished barrel and lock. Some light roughness on exterior of muzzle. Bore is bright and shiny. Original walnut stock finish has been nicely removed and oil refinished. Small crack...

You’re getting there. Are you cleaning between shots or using lots of lube? Those shots that keep climbing higher are a sign of a progressively fouled barrel in my experience.

So you don’t have this issue again prior to shooting remove your nipple and blast all that leftover oil from your barrel and drum with brake cleaner. Let it evaporate and go to shooting. Use real blackpowder for best results.

If it makes you more comfortable, before attempting to pull the ball remove the nipple and fill the drum with your ballistol. That will totally douse the powder.

Pull the nipple and force as much black power in there as possible. Reinstall the nipple and fire it. If that doesn’t work use a puller. It won’t hurt anything. If you can’t get the powder to ignite with a cap you’re not going to ignite it pulling the ball out.

Last go around here before it goes on gunbroker.
