    Got a dang jag stuck in barrel today

    Had a great range day and was packing up to leave. I stupidly decided to run a patch down the barrel and got it stuck good on the way back out. No problem - I tied my aluminum rod to my truck and proceeded to pull the threaded end off. Tried 4-5 times to shoot it out. No joy. Finally got it home...

    What's the difference between Pyrodex types?

    Is Pyrodex RS and P the same formulation, only differing in size of granules? Can I run RS through a ball mill and transform it into P?

    Changing my opinion on Pyrodex RS

    Used some RS for the first time in my Pedersoli scout carbine with 5 grain GOEX kicker and it worked perfectly every time. There was little fouling, I didn't have to pick the vent and cleanup was a breeze. This looks like a good option so I can save my BP for the revolvers. I have to say, I was...

    Conversion to flint

    I have a Pedersoli Harpers Ferry 1805 percussion that I would like to convert to flint, assuming I can find a lock. Does anyone know if the existing barrel can be used without permanent modifications? I'd like to be able to switch back and forth.

    Holster for Harpers Ferry pistol

    I recently got a Pedersoli .54 cal Harpers Ferry pistol. I'm having trouble finding a full holster or scabbard for it. Any suggestions? I'm mainly looking for something to use for transport, not storage.

    Learning curve with flintlock

    After three trips to the range with my Pedersoli Scout .50 cal, I've finally started climbing the learning curve. Using a vent pick and keeping the flint dressed, ignition is pretty reliable and as fast a my caplock Hawken. Cleaning has been the biggest surprise. Since the barrel is pinned, I'm...

    Couple of patch questions

    I know patches have been done to death, but can you stand another? What is the difference between cleaning and shooting patches for round ball? I found some Pro Shot cleaning patches that are cotton flannel and look exactly like the "shooting" patches I bought. If the thickness is the same...

    Advice on Pedersoli kit flinter

    I have my eye on a Dixie Pedersoli Scout carbine kit in .50 cal. I looked at the Lyman Great Plains, but it is similar to the Hawken-style caplock I already have. I wanted something different in a flintlock. The scout is a shortened version of their Pennsylvania rifle. My question - anyone have...

    Greeting from soggy Mississippi

    Been lurking a while and finally signed up. I've been shooting black powder revolvers for a year now, and I just got a Pedersoli Hawken in .50 cal. Lots of experience and knowledge on this board; looking forward to learning more.
