    Boy did i score yesterday.

    We got to the gun show. I walked into the first exhibit hall. I saw this old guy carrying an Enfield. So I went up to him and said, "Sir, is that a Parker-Hale?" He said, "Yes, a Parker-Hale made in England." I looked at it, saw the low serial number. Then I said,"How much do you want for it?"...

    Flintlock prime size?

    I wanted to know what amount in grains that others on this forum use for priming their flintlock pans. I have a small priming flask from Treso that throws approx 3 grns of 4F.

What I have noticed in shopping for one is that the smaller calibers come with a 1:48 rifling twist. Now I only shoot PRB, and all my other rifles are either 1:60, or 1:66. So what gives? Does a...

    Stripping linseed oil finish.

    Hi, I've noticed on here that you all recommend stripping finish off with acetone. Will acetone work on linseed oil? Sorry that I asked this question because I know that it must have been asked many times before; but the way the search feature works on this forum makes no sense to me!

The main spring and the frizzen spring were so strong that it would just batter the flints to pieces. 5, maybe 10...
