    where to buy lead

    Here in Wichita we have a iron company that sells some super soft stuff for $1 a lb. but you can call pretty much any plumbing shop or recycling center and get some, wheel weights tend to be to hard for round ball. You can also call a dentist office they use lead for some exrays and then scrap it.

    Got my kit in today

    Ok roger that... 2 things, 1, good point about filing the plug not the barrel, sounds simple but i wasnt thinking of that. 2, i have been watching this video that VTSmoker has sent me and the guy installed the breech plug with a pair of 8" channel locks so i guess i was assuming it should be...

    rusty bore

    IMO cleaning a barrel with water is kind of a double negative, however that's my opinion and lots of people use water and it works for them. In reality no matter what you use if you "completely" dry the barrel out and follow with an oil after cleaning you should not have rust in your bore. WD-40...

    Got my kit in today

    Ok so i was working on the gun last night and i went to install the breech plug and the match marks will not line up, cant get it to move any more... the marks are only about a 64th of a inch apart and just wont move anymore, so now what??? take it out and file down the end of the barrel a little?
