    What patch lube should I use for my patches?

    I have tried many over the years, and have settled on exclusively saliva for all my shooting (from competition to hunting to just punching paper).

    Your choice of flints

    Actually the "holder of flints" are called JAWS, the jaws are a part of the COCK which since the advent of percussion and eventually cartridge weapons has come to be called a hammer.

    Casting R/ B

    Many Klatch is right about eliminating voids in your cast balls, (the same also applies to your REAL bullets, or any other castings). As for the best choice for hunting mine is (and always will be) the patched round ball.

    Your choice of flints

    :metoo: Plus if you use your rifle for more than 20 to 30 shots per year (say for competition or just a lot of range activity) those sawn flints will realy eat up your frizzen in a hurry !

    Traditions Mountain Rifle?

    As indicated cap vs flint is indeed a mater of personal preference, and indeed the mountain rifle is mostly patterned after the caplock plains rifles of the early 19th century. As far as cock/frizzen geometry, there will always be discussion/controversy in this area concerning all major brands...

    Concrete in Flint

    The foreign substance in question is indeed chalk, not concrete, as flint noduals form naturally incased in chalk. Anything you find on the "net" is what it is, take it with a grain of salt, or sometimes with the whole shaker.

    Traditions Mountain Rifle?

    Certainly a good find at a good price, rifle appears to be a remake of the CVA Mountain rifle, and has a reputation for being an excellent shooter. Personally though I think you would be much happier if you could find one in flint. I know I would. :thumbsup:

    Beat up my 1860 Pietta

    I think that you might have misunderstood. It has been pointed out many times that 30gr. is manufacture's recommended MAXIMUM load, however for performance and accuracy your OPTIMUM load will be in the 17 to 22gr. range.

    Load 2 round balls per chamber?

    As has been noted here loading two balls per hole, with a revolver, is quite impractical (at best) and rather counter productive. Although the practice has been used with fair results with pistols.

    Traditions Pennsylvania rifle

    As has been said here, re-barreling a rifle is not uncommon (especially if it has seen a lot of competition use). Just be straight with him and when he gets out and other knowledgeable people tell him the same thing it will only increase his respect for your knowledge and experience.

    T/C Hawken accuracy

    As has been alluded to, sights are simply a matter of what the eye likes to look at. Swapping out the sights ,possibly for the T/C patridge sights (usually found on the Renegade),would be your way to go.
