    53 Enfield accuracy

    I amy be mis-understanding. The purpose of lube (at least in my limited understanding) is to keep fouling soft. As such, I have always lightly lubed the outside of the minie. I don't really see any use for lubing the inside of the cavity (I know a guy who I shot N-SSA with who liked to lube the...

    Armi Sport 1861 Springfield?

    My experiences have differed from the last poster. I have owned one since 1998 (it was my first BP musket). I shot a little N-SSA with it (not too much, I prefered my Enfield), have done a little target shooting, & have reenacted with it. I have now passed it on to my son who insure it gets a...

    Elephant powder? We faced an artillery battery trying to use it at a reenactment. Their cannon went "phoof". Our commander, a proper Englishman turned, with a perfectly straight face, and said, "Gentlemen, I believe we have been farted at". You can keep Elephant powder.

    Should I use BP if available?

    All Hail the Holy Black! :bow: I have tried the subs- Nothin beats 3x Goex.

    .58 cal enfield

    I bought a used Armi-sport about 3 bander about 8 years agao, I've shot the fire out of it, using it at one time or another for reenacting, N-SSA, plinking & hunting. It shoots better than I do, is forgiving of a hard day of use, and is a great companion. As to the stock drop, I don't know...

    Zoli .58 accessories, need help

    The Zoli takes a big nasty sword bayonnete. You would look good in a parade with it, but I would hate to have to try to use the rifle in combat with it... :shocked2:

    Percussion Besses in Civil War?

    I also refer you to the book "Never for the want of powder" by C.L. Bragg. On page 138-139 it was reviewing 1863 production for the Augusta Powder Works. This included 40,000 .75 Caliber Buck & Ball Loads for the Brown Bess Muskets. I certainly grant that this pales in comparison to to loads...

    Percussion Besses in Civil War?

    There is a 3rd model Bess converted to percussion documented to the 16th SC in the Confederate Museum in Greenville SC. The also have a Charleyville flinter documented to some troop (whose name I have forgotton) in Alabama.

    Zouave Accuracy

    Don't know about Euroarms, but I shot N-SSA with my Zoli a few years back. It shot better than I did. (42 grains FFF & a .776 "Ashcan" Minie) By the bye- I know that's a light load- virtually no felt recoil.

    Zouave price

    $800.00? Heck I've got a Zoli I'll let ya have for $600.00 (Plus Shipping) :wink:

    Atlanta cutlery muskets?

    Old Army is right in that what you are getting is strictly luck of the draw. I would not risk it unless I could pick out what I was getting. Having said that, I have a friend who got one, cleaned it up, replaced the nipple & had it checked out by a gunsmith... he has a fireable weapon... Ah, the...

    Barrel Volume and Black Powder

    Sir, Are you the same Frenchie that is posting on the N-SSA board? If you are looking to shoot N-ssa you don't need full service loads. 50-55 grains should spread the skirts of a minie... You don't need a murderous amount of velocity to bust a tile or flower pot. When I was shooting N-SSA I...

    Backyard fun

    Where do I begin? It is not if this guy is going to get hurt, its when. Giving him the benifit of the doubt that there is some editing going on (and that he actually wormed the tube to get old cartridge parts out) he is an accident begging to happen. Nobody is tending the vent hole-plenty of...

    Whitworth rifle sling

    I've got a reproduction War of Northern Aggression canvas Enfield sling on mine. May or may not be PC, but it does the job nicely

    Lab Report on blown India musket

    Gentlemen, First of all, I have no dog in this fight. I shoot Italian repros (percussion not flinters) & think they are tough, serviceable weapons (as an old soldier, that’s high praise). I don’t own an Indian gun, but if the urge hits me, I may one day buy one. I know a couple of guys who do...

    Questions to LeMat owners

    I like my Lemat. Be sure to keep the shotgun rammer in the loading lever; otherwise you could bend it loading the cylinders. I have not had any problems with the hammer.

    Colt Wedge

    A new wedge might not be a bad investment. I have a Pietta Army that gave me a devil of a time, I bought a replacement wedge from Dixie... problems solved.

    Springfield or Enfield?

    While I own both, & have nothing against the springfield (other than its *&^%! "Armory Bright" finish, is parkerizing period correct? :grin: ). My vote is the Enfield. I bought a used Armi-sport about 7 years agao, I've shot the fire out of it, using it at one time or another for reenacting...

    Indian imports?

    True, the barrels are not proofed, neither (gasp!) are American barrels. You could make the argument that American metalurgy is better, but with all the Chinese Steel floating around in this country I'm not sure that is true anymore.I have read some where on this board that there are 20,000+...
