    NAA percussion fun *update with Remington #11 caps!

    Probably not that much difference in price… May even be more expensive. But I can post useless threads and videos about the percussion models here so it must be worth it! And it is fun!

    NAA percussion fun *update with Remington #11 caps!

    Yes, each shot is loaded with .3cc. A pound of powder will last a long time.

    NAA percussion fun *update with Remington #11 caps!

    Me too. They are what are recommended. The reason they work better is mostly because they are shorter than the CCI which I struggled to get seated far enough down to not bind and to fire on the first strike.

    My projectile was a #4 buck round ball!

    NAA percussion fun *update with Remington #11 caps!

    This is a fun gun. The last time I shot it using CCI #10 caps it worked, but not well. This outing, using Remington #11 I had no failures. I wish I had about 5 cylinders and someone willing to load the for me as I could shoot this all afternoon. I guess I still could, but more than half of the...

    Making a hunting sword from a machete

    I applaud your work and will check out your other videos! On the path of learning don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good! While it is true that a forged sword might have distal taper, many a bladesmith starts the journey by modifying existing blades like this. Such may well serve...

    Woods-runner lock alignment

    Here is mine. It is easy to align the flint to strike the frizzen squarely so it is no worry to me,

    Is this soft lead or alloyed to be hard?

    Anyone else chomping at the bit for the Kibler smoothbore?

    Get the 20 gauge, it will have a thicker barrel than the 16 gauge as Jim has said both will be the same outside diameter.

    NAA percussion pistol, the full cap and ball experience in a small package!

    Chainfires Can be “exciting”. I had on in a ‘51 navy in a cowboy match once. It hit the end of the wedge on the fight side and then hit a pistol target so I didn’t get called for a miss! A good lube over the ball can help but on a hot day and a few shots the lube can melt away if it isn’t...

    NAA percussion pistol, the full cap and ball experience in a small package!

    I found the same thing which is another reason to use 3f! I will try the CCI 11’s if I find some. Thanks for the tip!

    NAA percussion pistol, the full cap and ball experience in a small package!

    This is the Super Companion model. I think some of the failure to set off the cap is because the CCI caps are a smaller diameter than the Remington. I tried splitting the skirt of the caps and this helped some. Magnum caps, with more priming compound might also help.

    NAA percussion pistol, the full cap and ball experience in a small package!

    I have shot a lot of percussion pistols, I owned 6 at one time and used all 6 to shoot a “Josey Wales” category at an all black powder Cowboy shoot a few times. This video is my time shooting this little gun. From a few caps not firing with the first strike to a cap jam and the grin on my...

    Iron Nitrate assistance - Woodsrunner Kit

    That looks like the first coat I did on mine. I did another two applications and heat cycles and my Woodsrunner came out a bit too dark. Try the alcohol tip and if you want darker do another application.

    This post is for anyone who wants to ask Newbies a build question.

    Agree! Tapping for installing a touch hole liner.

    Pecatonica NW Trade Gun Build Help

    I am not the expert but I can share what I have learned so far working with a Petaconica build. 1. Check the ramrod hole, make sure it is centered and drilled full depth. You will need to sand the ramrod to a smaller diameter to fit. 2. Finish inletting the barrel and tang. 3. Finish inletting...
