    Hatfield rifle

    In 86 I believe Ted Hatfield built it but by then pretty sure barrels were made in Italy. My 87 and 88 have Italian barrels.

    Gluten Free

    My son is on a gluten free diet. His headaches have gone away & he's starting to grow hair on his bald spot. No BS, he's got my attention.

    New lube.

    Gentlemen, it might be as easy as getting a 1oz. Tin of SPG, heat gently on the stove. Using tweezers start dipping your patches, then lay them on a sheet of wax paper to cool & dry. You should get around 70 treated patches. You'll be able to shoot a match all day without cleaning. The treated...

    How to make your precussion touch off every shot with out fail

    Rat, I would have to agree. When my gun is clean, it shoots great. When I have issues, it's dirty. I have some platinum nipples for a slug gun and as far as I know, that's because they last longer and resist erosion better than most anything, hence consistent hole size and groups.

    How to make your precussion touch off every shot with out fail

    This is a good discussion but I'm not sure I've been swayed either way, to vent or not to. Anyway, has anyone researched this issue or if it was addressed from around 1830- 1870 ??

    New lube.

    I happened to have a new 1oz can of SPG sitting around so I opened a couple bags of October Country Daisy patches/.50 cal and started to work. Per the directions, I was able to treat 72 patches total with that 1oz can. Per someones $ figures above, it appears SPG cost per shot is .065 cents...

    Old powder horn

    Although not in vogue, I figured they painted details on a few horns back the in the day.

    New lube.

    Patches treated with SPG works well also. I shoot an all day match without needing to wipe. Keeps fouling soft. Following the directions: ML Patches: For best results: 1. GENTLY melt (160F max.) lube 2. and dip patches w/tweezers or pliers. 3. Place on sheet of wax paper to dry...

    Parker 12 guage muzzle loader shotgun

    I have one but it was made in England. From what I've read they were inexpensive shotguns made for the American market (hence the "Parker" stamping) starting around 1867. I use mine for turkey hunting, it's a hoot.
