    Steel in India-made muskets- MH

    I bought one, love it! It has the feel of an original, more than a CNC pedersoli. Don't get me wrong, love my Pedersoli.

    Military Heritage 1733 French naval pistol

    I LIKE that! I took removed the finish it came with and went with a boiled linseed oil. What is your take on that ridge down near the breech?

    Military Heritage 1733 French naval pistol

    Yes, the flash hole is on the breech plug side of the ring. I was told it was a " stepped breech," not sure what that means. What was the purpose of these patent breeches?

    Military Heritage 1733 French naval pistol

    I've noticed a rim inside the barrel, about where the flash hole goes. I know a ball needs to be firmly seated on the powder charge, but how can that happen if that ring is in the way? Can someone explain this please?

    Thin skirt minie molds

    Wow! I didn't even think of most of that! No, I have never liked the bore. I don't have the yools- yet, and I'm not actually sure how to do that. I was just going off what Pedersolis website said the bore diameter was. The lead was purchased from Rotometals. It SAID it was pure lead and I...

    Thin skirt minie molds

    Everything I've read suggests one should be able to deform the skirt w/ finger pressure. It take channel locks to deform this Lyman old style. But I don't want to go to the opposite extreme ei Really!? Where can I order these plugs?

    Thin skirt minie molds

    Hello the forum. It seems my Pedersolis 1861 Springfield does not care for the Lyman OS minie ball. I would like to try to find a mold that casts a thinner skirt. Can anyone recommend a mold plz? Ty in advance!

    Pedersoli Brown Bess

    I'm 59 now, but got my Pedersolis BB when I was 32. I have been in love w/ her all those years. She's a big girl, got the curves, and satisfies her man😆! Beautiful, loyal, trustworthy. She has taught me a lot. She's dropped deer ( as in dead right there!),squirrels,rabbits,and doves. She's so...

    Flint sizing

    I bought it because I have little faith in the economy. I believe we are overdue for a second " great depression." I've stocked up on percussion caps and even have a little doo- hickey to make percussion caps. But flintlock...they don't require caps. This gun is my paper puncher and snake...

    Flint sizing

    I'm trying to figure out the proper size for the flints for a new flintlock. Width is easy enough, I just use the width of the hammer/ frizzen. LENGTH is what I'm not so sure about. With the hammer/ frizzen closed & the cock on half cock, I don't think the edge of the flint should be in contact...

    Can anyone explain what a stepped breech is?

    Military Heritage 1733 French naval pistol

    Totally uninterested in the India/Paki muzzleloader hate. Having said that, I was wondering if there are any others that have purchased this pistol- or any of the other flintlock pistols offered by M.H. I will be very interested in hearing about the details of bringing up to firing condition you...
