    Sportsman's warehouse

    You can order stuff that never shows up in your local store for free shipment to the store. I ordered some .451 Speer balls that my local store doesn't. ever stock and they showed up quickly and for a good price. Quite a bit less than the Hornady that they do stock but never seem to have...

    Revolver grease packing

    I have seen references to packing revolver actions with grease, I assume to keep them lubed and to keep fouling out. If a person uses a light grease to keep from freezing everything up what are your opinions? Is it good, bad, or doesn't matter?

    Drying powder

    I had some damp powder and it's winter here. I spread it on metal pie plates from Goodwill and put it in my Little Chief smoker for a couple of hours. It's bone dry now. I suppose any kind of non flaming heated cabinet or oven would work but you probably shouldn't use the kitchen stove. I...

    Flintlock conversion

    I saw this on Ebay this morning. Don't holler at me, I'm just posting this for entertainment. Tired of practicing or sighting in with your flintlock? This device fires first time, every time! Converts Thompson Center (or clone) flintlock muzzleloader to percussion cap. No delay, fast locktime...

    Hi Yield stump remover

    For anyone who uses stump remover granules for the potassium nitrate content. Hi Yield has changed the formula and does not contain potassium nitrate anymore. So don't use it to treat cartridge paper or make fuses or for any other flamable use. I made up some stuff and it won't even burn...

    Installing revolver nipples

    This is probably something everybody already knows but here goes anyhow. A short piece of aquarium tubing, the same stuff you slip over your percussion rifle nipple to pump water through for cleaning, works really well for a short handle to start those recessed nipples.

    Percussion Miquelet

    Let's see if I can post a photo. Has anyone seen one of these? It's a new one for me. Probably in the wrong forum but it is a Miquelet.

    Drying damp powder

    OK, this is an honest question. Obviously it is not a good idea to use heat other than sunshine. So, how about freeze drying?? I have noticed how ice cubes gradually dissapear in a frost free freezer and poorly sealed foods dessicate. I bet that powder, whether Black or substitute would dry...

    Starfish capper

    Anyone used one of these? It looks like it might work pretty good for revolvers. Not very HC but neither am I.

    Model cannon

    Just something I made. It's not an accurate model of anything but it does shoot. The bill is for scale, not a price.

    CVA collection

    I was just browsing Armslist and there is a guy in Billings, Mt with a CVA collection for $500. A mountain rifle, 4 pistols, a derringer, a flask and a display case. He won't ship but if I was in easy driving distance I would probably go for it. Thought maybe someone here might be interested.

    Muzzle blast silencers

    Does anyone shoot at a range that has blast silencers/absorbers? I don't know what they are called and I have never seen one or even heard of one till I saw this news article. If it works it would sure make things a lot more pleasant when a neighbor has a cannon or a black rifle with a big...

    Goex reeenactor powder

    Midway USA has Goex reenactor powder for $11.59 a pound. Quite a savings over regular Goex. What say you all?? Goex says it's good for low pressure loads, whatever that might mean. I don't have an opinion but I bet some of us do.

    Rough barrel

    I have an old Jukar rifle with a lot of machining marks in the barrel. I can feel them with a dental pick and a patched ball going down the barrel is not smooth at all. The rifle is old ( there is 1976 engraved on the barrel) but it has been fired very little if at all. The rifling is very...

    Barrel lapping question

    When lapping a barrel with Scotch-brite pads should it be done dry or with some type of lubricant? I have a couple of old but lightly used Jukars that have very evident machining marks. It looks like they were drilled and no effort was made to smooth them. I just want to smooth out the...

    Worn nipples and flintlock accuracy

    Yes, I really meant to say that. The general consensus seems to be that a nipple worn to an oversize hole causes poor accuracy in a percussion rifle. BUT, a flintlock flash hole is recommended to be at least 1/16 which would be mighty large for a nipple. Lots of people recommend drilling the...

    WANTED Wanted Cherokee 45

    A fellow club member is looking for a Cherokee 45 for his grandson. Not having any luck at all on the auction and dealer sites. If anyone can help I'll put him in touch. Thanks

    Practice with air rifle

    I think this is muzzleloading related because I bought the air rifle to practice for offhand muzzleloading. Shooting postal matches has made me realize just how dismal my offhand shooting is. With the air rifle I can step into the garage or back yard and shoot a 5 shot sort of group at most...

    Play time

    I went out and shot my matchlock and two handgonnes. Lots of fun and smoke but I sure didn't hit much. The matchlock is a 12 gauge and the handgonnes are .50 caliber.

    Flash rust experiment

    I just took a piece of cold rolled steel, the shiny kind without the scale from hot rolling. It is absolutely not stainless. ( There were some rust spots) . I sanded it clean and then degreased with lacquer thinner. Then I poured boiling water on it and waited. The only thing that occured was...
