    Midway USA

    I hold Midway in high regard for their support of NRA, educational videos, good pricing, broad selection, but they are as stubborn as a Missouri when it comes to setting arbitrary policies. At one time they had a minimum order policy ($25 I think). I was reloading extensively at that time and...

    Lead?!

    A hospital radiology tech turned me on to what was, for a while, a limitless supply. All the vials of nuclear medicines are shipped in various forms of lead containers. Big ones, little ones, thick ones, thin ones, painted, plastic covered and bare lead. Hospitals get tons of this packaging...

    Books of Buckskinning worth getting?

    [/url] Thanks to the link to Sons of a Trackless Forest as a Master's Thesis But if the book is 1000 pages, what is missing in the thesis which is only 274 pages?

    Enough is Enough

    I am amazed by this thread. I've spent a lot of time on a lot of firearms forums and I find this one to be very inoffensive. There are a couple of pretty cantankerous folks on here but they aren't really rude about it. And, as is a common occurrence among older men, there are a few grumps but...

    Need a range rod.

    (Not actually a reply to mushka) I did not need the 48" rod when I bought it for my first muzzleloader - a Hawken. But when I got my first longrifle this year it was nice that I didn't need to buy a second rod.

    Main Spring Vise

    Sorry! Old eyes. The shading in the patina was fooling me into seeing a flange in one photo that was not really there.

    Main Spring Vise

    In that link I find it hard to accept that the first and second photos are of the same vise.

    How many shots do you get out of a cork? Do you buy them in quantity?

    Forum Testing Results?

    You have hit upon one of the conundrums of internet forums. On this, and thousands of other forums on thousands of topics, an incredible amount of information has been brought forward and made available to the broad public but it is not nearly as useful as it ought to be. Specific topics are...

    Flintlock vs Percussion

    That's one of the features of my Pedersoli flint pistol! I am completely in over my head on this muzzleloading stuff but here's how I see the attraction or veneration of flintlocks: This is the 21st century, If you want to make holes in targets, animate or inanimate, you can cheaply obtain a...

    T/C mfg. date by serial number?

    It would be very interesting if someone would endeavor to accumulate a database of TC serial numbers and original purchase dates. Much as some do for various foreign milsurps to help establish production numbers and dates of variations. There have to be enough people who still have the receipt...

    taking aim

    In the type of offhand we're (not supposed to be) talking about, it is about supporting the rifle as much as possible with bone instead of muscle tension. Facing 45* to the target, I see and feel the butt go to the exactly correct spot, put my cheek in exactly the correct spot. As I lower, my...

    Pedersoli KY flint - sow's ear/silk purse?

    In all fairness to Richard, He represents Pedersoli and removing the breech plug is officially not advised. Whether he knows more or not, I wouldn't blame him for confining his comments to his official capacity.

    Pedersoli KY flint - sow's ear/silk purse?

    Thank you Richard! I called but, unfortunately, his reply was: "Not advised" "I don't really know, I'm not a gunsmith." So, again my plaintive call: Has anyone successfully removed and replaced a Pedersoli patent breech? How hard is it to get the vent liner threads to line up properly again?

    Pedersoli KY flint - sow's ear/silk purse?

    And the winner is... Silk Purse! I've mulled it over. This pistol can be redeemed. I rescue stray dogs and orphan guns, time to do it again. The gap between pan and barrel where my prime drops into the action: I liked the idea of the easy fix, but I suppose inletting the lock deeper is the...

    Why are or aren't you an NMLRA member?

    Jimbo47, Tell me, if you shoot at the spring or fall shoot at Friendship: How exactly is it that the 30 feet or so of the firing line that is shooting inlines actually impacts you?
