    Bore button homemade

    Do you cut the button to bore size, or just a touch bigger to fill the rifling grooves? -GB

    Single-Shot pistol handle shape

    It seems a revolver and a pair of rifles is not enough, I suddenly "need" to have a single-shot pistol, preferably flintlock. I've seen a variety of handle shapes, ranging from just sort of 'bent' like a plow handle to curly almost like an umbrella handle to some funky handle presumably on a...

    Maxi ball and Lee REAL lube

    Correct flint size

    This page : https://www.trackofthewolf.com/List/Item.aspx/141/1 claims 1/2" x 5/8" for the pedersoli kentucky, but I'm not sure it uses the same lock as the pennsylvania. I suspect either Track or Pedersoli could tell you though. I emailed track to verify when I bought a batch of flints for...

    prices?

    I like my Remington, but I'd like to try a Colt next. I've heard lots of folks swear by the 'pointability' of the Colt Navy revolvers. I'm funny though and I'd prefer mine in 36 cal like the originals rather than 44 cal like many of the repros. When I was looking into CAS I was contemplating...

    prices?

    I also have a black powder revolver from Cabelas (though mine is a steel framed Remington). There are all kinds of accessories available, but these are the ones I have found most useful : Powder Flask https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PW9EJ6/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's...

    Do all break-action ML rifles disassemble easily into 2 pieces?

    https://www.traditionsfirearms.com/category/Tennessee-Rifle That may fit your bill. 24" barrel and since it's keyed (not pinned) I'm assuming it has a hook breech. Be aware that the front key and back key might not be the same. -GB

    Do all break-action ML rifles disassemble easily into 2 pieces?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "break action muzzleloader". I have 2 muzzle-loading rifles -- a traditions Springfield Hawken (percussion), and a Dixie TN Mountain Rifle (flintlock). My 'Hawken' has a hooked breech and a key, and the barrel is removable. The flintlock, however, has a pinned...

    Sight In For .32 Crockett

    Sounds like a good reason to head to the range... "Sorry, honey, can't help with the dishes today. I've got to go work up a ~30gr load for my muzzleloader." -GB (who is thinking Sunday Afternoon sounds like a FINE time to head to the range and do a bit of 25yard plinking with low-velocity...

    Rebore Renegade 54 to ???

    Did it handle anything like a shotgun, or was it still more like a rifle? Now that I have a flintlock in .50 I've thought about having this done to my caplock (a traditions Springfield Hawken in .50), but worry that it won't be well suited to it's new purpose (small game, squirrel/rabbit with...

    Sight In For .32 Crockett

    Man y'all are making me wish the crockett came left handed. I really want to take a muzzle-loader small game hunting, but if a .32 with 20 grains of powder behind it cuts a rabbit in half, what will a .50 do? -GB

    Grease Hole?

    My flintlock has a grease-hole, but I don't use it. I've contemplated trying to install a wee circular patch-box in it. Has anyone ever put a 'cover' on their grease-hole to avoid contamination? I do have a tin of mink oil I'm planning to try out next time I'm at the range, but I wasn't...

    Dixie TN Mountain Rifle -- Lock and Trigger issues

    Thanks, Zonie. I'll be investing in one of those vises. Unfortunately before I saw your post I had already done something similar with an adjustable crescent wrench :doh:. I didn't realize it had that little pin -- it was already in the right place. The slot for the little nub is longer...

    Dixie TN Mountain Rifle -- Lock and Trigger issues

    I found the slot where the nub belongs, but I wasn't able to move it while the spring was applying pressure. Will a pair of vice-grips suffice for squeezing the spring shut or do I need to invest in a mainspring vice? Also, strangely, when I reassembled the gun, the front trigger still won't...

    Revolver loading

    Define "broken"? The pivot hole on mine stretched into a long oval and it no longer functioned properly. Functionally it was broken, but technically the lever was still a single piece. -GB

    Dixie TN Mountain Rifle -- Lock and Trigger issues

    Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of the entire mainspring, but I was wondering if it could be overcompressed I need to look more closely when I open it up again, but could that bit outlined in red supposed to be slipping into a slot? The spring seems to be practically touching...
