    dry fire with dead caps

    As long as you soak the caps in oil for a while before scraping them out, no.

    best hunting and plinking revolver ?

    I shoot better with the Walker than the Remington, but I have big hands and can't get as good a hold on the Remmie.

    Impossible Pistol Shot

    I have no problem hitting the 1/2 sized buffalo silhouette at 200 meters with my Walker Colt.

    beeswax as alube

    I make up beeswax and olive oil. Its a good lube, furniture polish and works well on chapped lips!

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    Wow! That is a reply that should be preserved in an FAQ somewhere! I have noticed a real improvement in ignition time just by using the flash hole pick. Since I pulled the lock apart and gave it a thorough cleaning and polished up a few surfaces, the trigger pull is now way better. This...

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    Took the big beastie out again today. I'm leaning not to flinch when the pan flashes now and are consistently hitting 16" steel plates at 8-10 meters.25 meter seems to be pushing it a bit, though. I have since found that this pistol is not a great model for spark, but I'm getting 50/50 first...

    New Uberti Waker

    My Walker is my What? gun. Every time I shoot it somebody comes by and asks What? was that!

    What to Clean With?

    Hot water with a bit of detergent, followed IMMEDIATELY with a liberal spraying of WD-40 to remove any moisture, then a wipedown with a good grade of oil- CLP, Remoil or suchlike.

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    Yes- I'm using 40 gr of fffg and a round ball. that other load in the pistol would be a bit too- exciting!
  12. wwfeatherston

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    55 grains of fffg behind a 500 grain lead bullet!

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    I'm going to have to mike those ball, because they are a real good fit with my homemade patches. Feels just like my .50 with a .490 ball. The Harper's Ferry has taken a temporary break, as I've been getting my .45-70 Sharps sighted in for a competition shoot next year.

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    Thanks- I will try that too!
  15. wwfeatherston

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    I will give that a try. The only way I could get the pan to flash was by filling it with powder, instead of part full like has been suggested I can't post a picture to here, but I think I can do a Link

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    Well, I sure got it to go bang! Next time I take it out I will have to try hitting something! Having never used a flintlock before, I found its going to take a bit of getting used to that delay and flash in front of your face.

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    No pictures because I don't have it home yet! -I have to get an application for a permit to procure a restricted weapon signed off by my club (done) -Take that to the police Arms Officer and get a permit to Procure. -Produce the permit to the dealer, who will then hand over the pistol. -Take...

    Pedersoli Harper's Ferry

    Finally decided to take the next step and brought a Pedersoli Harper's Ferry. As soon as I can get all the permits and paperwork sorted, it's off to see if I can make a flintlock go bang! Got some 4F, spare flints and a new powder flask. The only balls I could find were .562, so I will have...

    That's about the size of it- only old pistol fits my hand is the Walker Colt or a Dragoon!
