    Hello from Ontario, Canada

    Welcome from Quebec. The way I understand the current Canadian laws any genuine pre 1898 firearm is considered an antique and handguns are included in that description. HOWEVER also as I understand it the moment that you fire that gun in Canada it falls under the restrictions of a modern...

    Dutch Schoultz : A Mighty Tree Has Fallen In the Forest

    Words cannot describe the loss to the shooting black powder shooting community. Very knowledgeable, humble and generous person that I will miss immensely. I can only stay strong in the belief that we will meet “ on the other side” and be able to continue to enjoy his wisdom. May God bless you Dutch.

    Proposed NY-VT Border Shoot

    No offense taken. About 95 % of my shooting is done with my friends in the north eastern US. My wife and I find the people that shoot muzzleloader are the best.

    Newbie question about a tight bore

    As a compliment to the above I would suggest a good soaking with evapo-rust before the OOOO steel wool to remove a significant amount of the surface rust, then the steel wool and another good shot with the evapo-rust to clean out the bottom of the pitting. The steel wool will polish the surface...

    Can someone tell me what I am looking at when I video'd my GPR bore? from bottom to top.

    Get a Teslong endoscope with the caliber specific mirrors and you will see that you have rust in the bore. The safest and most efficient method of removing the surface corrosion is as I described to you previously. Remove that and you will see a significant improvement not only in loading but in...

    Can someone tell me what I am looking at when I video'd my GPR bore? from bottom to top.

    I would suggest that the patent breech needs a water flush first and then a ~.25 cal brush with a patch wrapped around to clean it up. After that is done and the water is dried up do a degreasing with brake cleaner, cleaning with evapo-rust, cleanup with an oil soaked 0000 steel wool on a tight...

    Hello from the Green Mountain State!

    Hello from Quebec. You’ll find some pretty experienced people here that will most certainly be able to help you. Seems like there’s a lot of people from north eastern US here. Going to have to have a reunion of sorts at a woods walk, Territorial or a Biathlon ( once the border is open ).

    Cleaning New Barrel Scum

    FWIW. You might think about this. Being as the barrel is brand new you should probably do the 0000 steel wool and oil polishing anyways if you want a good shooter fast without shooting a couple of hundred shots. I would imagine that there’s not a product out there that could resist that approach...

    Rifle will not fire?

    Have you tried to remove the clean out screw on the side ? Sometimes the clean out screw is too long and jams against the end of the nipple threads preventing it from being unscrewed. If you can remove the clean out screw you can use a 1/8 diameter drill to ensure that the passage way to the...

    I got to shoot the new rifle

    FWIW I believe that Ron has done an excellent job in sharing his personal and logical approach to setting up his new gun and for the very first shots out that barrel I find it to be quite good. Sharing is what this forum is all about and the information that I have found here has helped me...
