    REGARDING 1862 5-SHOT POLICE MODELS?

    I have found that if you use some plastic tubing over the caps no problem with cap jams. I have a 1862 purchased at a gun show a few years ago. Very, very accurate! BI

    Jonathon Browning Mountain Rifle Mainspring

    I would heat up the nipple after the Kroil works for a while. It should come out then. :)

    Jonathon Browning Mountain Rifle Mainspring

    Sad but true. I think the reason you do run across unfired guns is because people don't want to clean them. BI

    Jonathon Browning Mountain Rifle Mainspring

    The bore probably needs some work too by the looks of the nipple and drum. I would give the bore a good cleaning with Ballistol and a brass brush then patches and more Ballistol. BI

    Jonathon Browning Mountain Rifle Mainspring

    The rifle has a patent breach so you need to make sure you clean the breach channel too after shooting. I use a .30 cal brush with a patch on it. This is a less than bore diameter channel in the breach. BI

    Jonathon Browning Mountain Rifle Mainspring

    The Pyrodex will work, I most often use 2 FG Black or T 7. It probably won't be the best with conicals. It has a slow round ball twist but it won't hurt to try. My .50 is very accurate with 70 grains of Black 2FG. a over powder wad, and a patched .490 RB with a 15 thousandths patch. A .495...

    IF you uncock the hammer and let it move all the way forward, you can then lift it off. BI

    Over powder patches............

    I have been using a over powder patch in several different rifles. I make them from old towels. Accuracy is much better. BI

    Identify this flint rifle

    When you get to cleaning the barrel, the best way to remove Cosmoline is boiling water. Be careful, don't get burned! BI

    LEAD SHOT MAKER SYSTEMS - ANYONE USED ONE?

    A good friend ran a shot maker for years. It worked well but it is a lot of work as I look at it. It could be worth it if you use a lot of shot or plan to sell some. BI
