    Load ?

    Has shooting a regular patched roundball load fallen out of favor for this shotgun style load ?

    Building a Tennessee Rifle

    That's a very nice rifle Eric . . . . It looks like you may have used the L&R Durs Egg lock like TOW does . . . I love the looks of that flint lock, the hammer has a very nice curve.

    Building a Tennessee Rifle

    I didn't realize TOW sold just plans for a rifle . . I am considering building a southern style from a blank. This is helpful and I will definitely check your video too. Thanks

    Stupid question - Smoothbore sight

    Never mind . . . I think that was a silly question. My son has a magnetic bead on one of his shotguns . . didn't know if they made rear sights that were not permanent that I could line up with my front blade.

    Stupid question - Smoothbore sight

    Don't laugh . . . Has anyone ever put a magnetic rear sight on a smoothbore for shooting balls ? Is there such a thing? I am ok with just a front sight for shot . . . and will learn to shoot it w/o one using balls . . It's just an odd thought I had.

    Dutch Schoultz System Question 2

    I followed Dutch's recipe and made some "moose milk" . . . pretty simple . . . I'll try it for in between shot swabbing . . . I have used all sorts of stuff for cleaning . . . including (gasp) brake parts cleaner . . . windex, and a host of BP products . . Not sure I have a favorite yet.

    Dutch Schoultz System Question 2

    I can make it . . . and store it in a TC 13 bottle - HA !! Thanks for the warning. What was the problem with the TC 13 ? I am learning that a lot of the stuff that is readily available at the few commercial places that even have a ML section is often not great. (I'm not a fan of bore...

    Dutch - Thank you for that info ... I really appreciate your insight as well as your time too. Your experience may not match up with the great law giver but it's still appreciated ! Best regards, Micah

    Dutch Schoultz System Question 2

    Question for those following Dutch Schoultz . . . As I posted before I am studying Dutch's book step by step. He recommends making a "moose milk" liquid for using as a patch moistener for swabbing in between shots. I have several bottles of Thompson Center # 13 BP bore cleaner in a yellow...

    Dutch Schoultz System Question - ball weight

    Thank you Dutch . . . I appreciate your thoughts . . sounds like I'm on track with the micrometer . . . I will be looking for fabric I can buy or make into strips. . .as you recommend in your book. It is true from my initial observations that the patches we buy seem to be measured correctly -...

    36 a shooter

    Holy manure . . .you can't buy that lock for $125 . . let alone the whole rifle !! That's the deal of a lifetime.

    Dutch Schoultz System Question - ball weight

    Thanks for the info, Dutch . . . I think you answered my question with this: "ALL ROUND BALLS ARE DEFORMED WHEN SHORT STARTED AS YOU ARE EXTRUDING THE SOFT LEAD INTO THE LANDS AND GROOVES OF THE RIFLING. THAT EXTRUSION WILL NOT FORGIVE AN OFF BALANCE BALL." Thanks for all the info and...

    Dutch Schoultz System Question - ball weight

    I am re-reading the Dutch Schoultz system that I purchased a couple months ago. It has me rethinking a whole lot of things. . . patches and his dry system in particular. However, I am shooting a .32 . . . my .50 will benefit from what I implement too, but I am OK with how it shoots, as I...

    Picking out new rifle help needed

    54 Ball has a great analysis of rifle building kits vs Kibler . . . I just wish I could find some of these guys who buy a kit from TVM or Chambers and put it in the closet never to finish . . . I'd generously offer 50 cents on the dollar for one of those set asides. :grin: :grin: :grin:

    wtb buy hawken flinter

    I have a Left hand Lyman Great Plains flint rifle in 50. It's great. I've had no problems. I bought it used online and have no idea of it's age or use, but the lock has never failed me and it sparks well. (I have two rifles with Jim Chambers Siler's so I know a good lock, and the GPR is...
