    Mini flintlock volley in the desert

    My buddy’s wife. It worked too (nailed a gallon jug at 10 paces).

    Mini flintlock volley in the desert

    It’s been ages since I’ve been on here (life happens) but finally got the flints out last weekend. Behold the soul-cleansing power of the muzzleblast. Lyman GPR, Sea Service pistol.

    Bore polishing to help with fouling: it worked!

    I did what he did in the video and used it dry. Worked fine for me.

    Well, I finally dry-balled

    Y'all said it would happen eventually. Death, taxes, and dry-balling. I was testing out new ball patch combos at the range today, got distracted by which size patch I was using, and completely forgot powder. As soon as I rammed the short starter, I knew...oh "drat." Thanks to this forum, I...

    California black powder revolver laws

    I don't run premium, but it is really bad right now. Last time I filled up, I think it was $4.45. There are places on the Westside that are routinely near $5 for regular.

    Shipping powder to California

    Firelock pistol historic military use

    Duelist1954 has a good YouTube video on making paper cartridges, although nothing specific to Sea Service pistols. I have a Sea Service as well, and recently made a few cartridges that I haven't tried out yet.

    Breaking in a new barrel?

    I had to polish my GPR with about 100 strokes of a Scotch-Brite pad, fixed my fouling issues and cut patches.

    Lyman Great Plains Questions

    It does have a patent breech (at least the newer ones do), but it's not that deep. Mine is probably half an inch.

    Knives found in father-in-law's cabin

    Ok, here are a few photos of the cabin I mentioned and the surrounding property. After about a 2 1/2 hour drive on rocky dirt roads, assuming you don't get lost, you arrive at a gate on a ridge. About a mile more down into a wide canyon is the cabin. Just enough space inside for a small desk...

    Knives found in father-in-law's cabin

    Yes indeed. I didn't get to know my father-in-law very well, but I know he was a lover of the wilderness. Perhaps I'll share some photos of the "cabin" in another thread.

    Knives found in father-in-law's cabin

    It is leather. I've gathered from a knife forum that this is a 1946-48 ish Western "Baby Shark."

    Knives found in father-in-law's cabin

    The only identifying marks are on the longer knife. The stamp on the ricasso reads WESTERN, BOULDER COLO., PAT'D MADE IN USA.
