    Pedersoli ball mold - "Nominal" size ?

    YES. You hit the nail on the head. I'm a tool and die maker. Spent 35 plus years in die cast and plastic mold industry. Lead if cast from steel mold blocks, shrinks approximately. 005 to the inch shink rate. That means if you want to cast an exact 1 inch dia ball, the cavity in the steel...

    why am i so addicted to revolvers ?

    It's an incurable addiction. I've been shooting and collecting cap and ball revolvers since I was 13. My dad got me my first one.. and now I'm, well,, a lot older. I now own 7 of them and am eying up number 8. My dear wife is beside herself since she can't find any cap and ball anonymous...

    Richland arms

    Does anyone know who actully manufactured the spiller and burr revolver with richland arms stamping on the barrel. I can find no information on this particular cap and ball revolver by this company. I own one and it could use a new set of nipples.

    Patch Lubes

    Antonio Zoli

    Found an Antonio Zoli zouave tucked away in a junk store today. Looked to be in decent shape. Does anyone know when they were produced and how much it may be worth? The guy was asking $450.00. Not that I need it but it was beeing sold with a bayonet.

    Barrel harmonics

    Hello all, This may sound like a dumb question for us ml'ers since some of those unmentionable guns have those fancy adjustable gizmos on the muzzles to control harmonics. Has anyone tried to experiment with the way a muzzleloading barrel fits in the stock? Would it be to a shooters advantage...

    hex nipple wrench

    If they are the same as a ROA, they are 3/16". Try a small 1/4" drive ratchet with a 3/16 socket.. Be careful, don't over tighten them. The hex may strip off.

    Over size cylinder bolt

    I have a Pietta 1858 new army that has a slight chamber to bore alignment issue. I need an over sized or slightly wider cylinder bolt to re fit and line up closer. I would like to try to fix this problem if only to see if I can do it myself. It shoots OK but not great. Does anyone know where I...

    Pietta 58 remmie cylinder timing

    I have a Pietta 58 remmie that has a very slight chamber/bore alignment issue. It appears that each chamber is out of center by just a few thousandths of an inch on rotation. All six equally in the same direction. The lock up is great, but I would like to get the Chambers to center the bore...

    Target barrel

    I have been toying around with the idea of building a target rifle. I am considering having a custom barrel made. Does anyone have any suggestions on what rate of twist and rifleing depth should be for, say a 45 cal paper patched bullet. This barrel would most likely have a false muzzle. I am...

    8-32 or 10-32 thread

    My range rod is threaded for a 10-32. I have a size 10 to a size 8 adapter if I can't find 10-32 accessories. I then use 8-32 stuff if I need to. Most muzzle loading caliber size brushes and jags are 10-32 threads.
