    Pedersoli Kentucky Flintlock Pistol

    I have a .54 caliber Pedersoli Kentucky in flintlock. I had to weaken the mainspring a bit as it was so strong that it was just bashing the flints to pieces.

    How to refinish the stock on my 1861 Pedersoli Springfiel replica

    I recently bought a 1861 Pedersoli Springfield Replica .58 3 band musket and I couldn't be happier with it. Great trigger out of the box, sights regulated about perfect, and the fit and finish of the weapon couldn't be better. One problem though, the stock is stained way too light, and the...

    Euroarms 1858 Enfield

    I had a Euroarms 1858 for many years, it was my first rifled musket. Other than a terrible trigger pull which I remedied, it shot very well. I used the old .575 minie balls from Dixie lubed with Thompson/Center Bore butter in the base, and 70 grns of Goex 2F and the super hot Navy Arms Brazilian...

    Warren .54 conical bullets

    I have a .54 Pedersoli Kodiak that I shoot both PRB and conicals out of. If memory serves me right the land dia is .538" and the groove dia is .550". I use minie balls of .536" so I can get them down the barrel with "relative" ease. They have grease grooves and a hollow base. I would think that...

    Traditions Tennessee Rifle

    I have one that I "inherited" from my wife. Besides its ungainly appearance, it has a very reliable lock and is accurate. I have found it is not fussy about loading. I use a .490" RB with a .015" patch. Powder charges from 65-80 grns Goex 3F. It is not my style as I prefer larger, heavier...

    New BP Rifle Shooter ???

    Paul's responses are always like that. They are also very informative, so you just have to learn to live with his "tone". Sorry you live in Canada.

    Tradition vs Pedersoli

    While I do have 3 Pedersoli weapons and like them alot, my Pedersoli Kentucky pistol in .54 flint required some work to make it a reliably igniting flintlock. (A new coned liner and had to harden the frizzen.) I have one Traditions, a Tennessee rifle in flintlock that my SA bought for herself...

    Movie "Gettysburg" and Lee's eccentrics

    While normally no fan of historical fiction, I did enjoy the book the Killer Angels. When I found out that Ted Turner was making a huge movie out of the novel I just couldn't wait to see it. Then I found out that Martin Sheen was cast as R.E. Lee and was sick to my stomach. What a huge insult to...

    Hoppe's Black Powder Solvent and Patch Lube

    I have a .54 Pedersoli Kodiak which is notoriously hard to drive a PRB down after you've fouled the barrels with just one shot. From advice here on this forum I tried Hoppes BP and found it works excellently at dissolving the fouling as I drive the next ball down. TOW mink oil works great too. I...

    Burning Patches

    I shoot a .54 Pedersoli Kodiak with large charges, (150 grns), of 2F and I was using some new, pre-lubed pillow ticking patches, 018", and they were doing the same thing, after I fired I could see them on the ground smouldering.... So first I changed to dry pillow ticking with pure Neetsfoot oil...

    Shot my new Pedersoli Kodiak Express .72 on Friday.

    My .54 Kodiak is painful to shoot the left barrel. I have actually bled from cap fragments and powder burns on my left forearm when I fire the left barrel. I have to wear a long sleeve shirt and a shooting glove on my left hand. Now with the .72 I have had no problems at all with anything...

    Shot my new Pedersoli Kodiak Express .72 on Friday.

    I'm going to have to put a taller front sight on my gun. I've looked at the Marbles replacement sights. Does anyone know how close the dovetails will match up? The Marbles are a 3/8", and I imagine the dovetail on the Pedersoli front sight ramp is close to 3/8", but metric. Anyone got any info...
