    How tight to patch a ball

    That's good. Read it 5 times, dump the spray bottle, read the papers 5 times more Follow the papers, don't deviate, just do what he says. If there is a question, go back and read again,, honest. I mean that with all respect. You can do it,, point is do it, just like it says. There are SO many...

    Wheel weight lead question

    @Flint1 , your right. It's not that hard a thing to do. Asking about lead hardness damage, worrying about lead hardness,, has so little to do with these wiki-lookups of basic questions and "click-click" memberships. Why not just read the found source? It's like there are basic question about...

    Wheel weight lead question

    You have asked 3 questions from what you have read and a presumption as it applies to modern firearms. I'll try, 1. "what does a harder lead do to the bore that makes it unusable" Nothing. 2. "Possible make it wear more quickly" Only if you use it improperly. 3. "If it's a little big, could...

    Simple question…..

    No wife, she died in child birth, no dog he died (but that was from old age) ,,, the Cat does bite me, but only when I feed him.

    Simple question…..

    Atta boy,, Now go help the next guy that want's to shoot his flintlock in the rain. As you knead your fingers, Get it yet?

    Simple question…..

    Yes. (?) With actual intent. Is there some confusion? 🤣, Did I loose something in context here?
  9. necchi

    Simple question…..

    Well then, what's the answer to his question? He didn't say what kind of rain, he didn't say he does have a cows knee, he didn't tell us what powder/or patch he's using. So, Oo, wise one, Are flintlocks reliable in the rain?
  10. necchi

    Simple question…..

    Yes. I have. And I am. Random, thoughtless questions of obvious historical information does sometimes require a response that will make an individual think. It is a difficult thing today, our children where never taught to think, too use their mind solve, it's referred to as "critical...

    Simple question…..

    and that's what happens. it's funny when you suggest that a person think, or find resolve on their own. it's easier if you just ask for the answer. you get an "A" on the paper, ,but flunk the final test

    Simple question…..

    Friend, it either rains or it doesn't. In our past, it rained or it didn't,, So "blame game?" How did people, 400yrs ago, not shoot game for food? It's pretty simple, want food? care for the gun while in the rain, want to shoot target and eat a can of spam? don't care for the gun It's history...

    How tight to patch a ball

    Yes, that is why the variables of the firearm and it's load should be found while on the bench. Once the tool, aka; the gun and it's load variables are found and defined. Then the shooter can learn how to shoot. That's olde school. Is it different today? Does anyone expect to be a decent...

    Simple question…..

    Venmo Scams

    Bottom line? I have several pieces I'd like to part with, but this forum scares me today. I have had many good transactions here as buyer and seller. But I have had some go bad, I have been defamed by sellers that have used excuses. Money paid, obligations not met, refunds(?) It cost me a full...

    How do you measure the bore in a rifle?

    With your supplied photo? That octagon barrel should be measured, ,Land to land. And Yes, that muzzle needs some work. If it is antique, then proper consultation should be found before restoration is attempted.

    Venmo Scams

    Any payment method,, is just as reliable as any buyer/seller and their word. Sellers as well as buyers used the words,"I forgot" and/or I'm sorry frequently. Who is victim? The seller or the buyer? Asking what platform of transfer is mute. It has to do with honor, respect and diligence of proper...
