    Finding flint/chert

    Here's what I would do. I would buy a steel strikers, and a medium copper bullet, test the rock and see if it sparks. If it does,pick it up and try it. I can't get to central or south Texas to find the chert. But I want to.

    How mind you, the barrel is empty. Once the screw engages the ball. Let the washers drop down and spin the nut until tight. Use a wrench ro tighten the nut, as you do , it turns and moves up, pulling the stuck ball

    Dude I tried everything I know. I had to stop at cabelas in Ftw, and get a new ball puller. Got home, drove the puller into the lead and tightened it in the lead until I couldn't get it any tighter. Pulled, hit the bottom on the rod handle with a mallet. I could NOT get it to move. So I saw...

    The ball was stuck. I tried a ball puller, no luck. I will let my trusted gunsmith fix it. And YES he knows there's a charge behind it. I have since bought a patch puller and 2 ball pullers. You can be assured, that will Never happen again. My biggest concern I'd damage to the barrel from the 4...

    The other day I get a ball stuck in the barrel of my colonial long rifle. I tried to get the ball out with a puller, to no avail. Had to take it to my gun smith and leave it there for him to get it out.. Problem is there's a load of powder behind the ball.. I know what happened, a patch got...
