    New Veteran Arms Charleville Musket frizzen/spring questions

    Track of the Wolf tool worked great. Wish I'd of had it to take it off. Has to be much easier on the screw threads.

    New Veteran Arms Charleville Musket frizzen/spring questions

    I must be looking at it wrong. I considered trying to do something similar but with the screw removed it only pushes it further away

    New Veteran Arms Charleville Musket frizzen/spring questions

    Received my new musket yesterday. Other than the Styrofoam packing peanuts VERY happy with it. Ordered it with some spare flints, a sling and a brass flash guard. I think I have the sling right, buckle away from the wood on muzzle end ring. Lace up loop on the buttstock end bitter end...

    Cleaning pitted bore

    It is already broke, so you can't broke it any worse. At a yard sale, I bought a .54cal cap lock Hawken that had many years ago been shot and never cleaned. Visually I could not tell if it was a smooth bore or rifled. The sensible part of me said walk away. I pulled the ram rod and it was so...

    Greenhorn with Flintlock

    Yes what he said, patched round ball is likely the slow twist rate you have. Having a small quill or pick to verify the touch hole is clear each time you load is crucial. The gent who taught me said to roll the rifle to the right as you shoulder it. That pushes the priming powder away from...

    Lead

    I second that comment. If I'm going to the trouble of casting (which I do somewhat frequently) I want an alloy I know for modern ammo or pure lead for my BP needs. Other sources are drying up. We have a scrapyard locally that sells lead but it is always a manure shoot as to what the real allow...

    Non-Firing replica 1766 Charleville Infantry Musket

    Wow, didn't mean to start a skirmish (good thing I didn't ask about what kind of bee is used in your beeswax) The gun I'm wanting is one similar to what the seditious colonist might have used against her majesties troops. The French 1766 Charleville pattern. I would like something that is...

    Pyrodex in Flintlocks...

    I've always thought that BP substitutes could work if a little regular black was added at the base. No time to test that while working for a living. Now retired I still can't find the range time I've always imagined I was missing while at work. I have traveled to many historic battlefields...

    Non-Firing replica 1766 Charleville Infantry Musket

    I'm considering one of these Non-Firing replica rifles. From what I can gather they are not drilled for a touch hole but all else is functional. I have access to the right machinery or could just farm it out to a local smith to have it drilled. Does anyone have first hand experience with...

    FNG central Ohio intro

    Hi, I'm Dan and a gunpowder-aholic, (crowd replys: Hi Dan) How does one introduce themselves among other gun nuts. Long time shooter, pistol mostly, Distinguished Pistol and distinguished revolver, only need another 26 points for my rifle distinguished. Retired Navy 1997, and as of 2021...
