    Weighing round balls

    Even swaged ball are formed in a divided chamber or mold or they couldn't be easily extracted. If that chamber doesn't fit seamlessly the product would have a line on it. My guess is that Hornaday tumble finishes their product a bit better. But tumbling would also create variances in weight...

    Can’t find a rifle!

    Hard to go wrong with a Kibler kit. SUPER QUALITY and just about the most likely excellent outcome for someone putting together their first kit gun. Both the Woodsrunner and the Colonial Rifle both offered in .54 cal. Easiest kit for fitting together looks to be the Woodsrunner.

    Rubbing magnesium on frizzen ?

    I always thought using a good, sharp flint, a well tuned lock with correct geometry and a precisely hardened frizzen WAS science.

    Over Powder Wad Question

    Nitro wads / cards are stiff, hard and dry. They provide a flat stable surface for the expanding gasses to push against under the cushion wad. The cushion wad is plyable and under presser it expands to fill the bore and seal the gasses below the shot. Often folks place a second nitro card over...

    New from Miami.

    My wife and I honeymooned at the Alafi after being married at the Bear Creek rendezvous in North Georgia, winter of 1992. Been back a couple of times since and registered to be there this January. It's an incredable rendezvous. Wish I could make it every year.

    Dixie .32 Cal Squirrel Rifle PO-Boy

    I've got an original correct flintlock for this gun that is available if you'd want it. I put the L&R on mine. It required some additional inletting due to the larger mainspring. I also have the mounting bolt for that lock. The L&R lock came with a bolt to fit it. The L&R lock is stouter...
