    Been some time since I contributed anything to the Forum; life has been Hectic. But I have kept a voyeuristic Eye on the Forum all along - checking in several times a week and seeing what's going on. Hope to contribute a bit more here and there in the Future - more later. Anyway, have always...

    Break Free vs Rem Oil

    Shot the Charleville 6 weeks ago. Cleaned per usual, and finished up with Rem Oil inside and out. Been using Break Free for general preservative for around 25 yrs - after some initial testing and research (plus running out of my Bulk Quantity Stash of Break Free) I made the switch to Rem Oil...

    Mike Brines Target

    Didn't wanna Hijack Mike's thread re: OP Wads, but wanted to mention that I like the Triangle target. I find, for me anyway, that it seems easier to focus & line up on than the conventional round Bullseye, especially when shooting offhand. Thought it might be interesting to see what kind of...

    Casehardening Cast Frizzen

    After about a thousand rounds the Frizzen Face on my Pedersoli Charleville is showing signs of getting a little tired. I've rehardened a couple of Frizzens, but they were off originals and that was long ago, using an Oxyacetylene torch & Kasenit. While I'm not a metallurgist, I know there's a...

    When cleaning Pedersoli Charleville (plain tepid water - sometimes a few drops Murphy's - followed by dry patches - followed by BreakFree Patches for storage) no mater how clean the patches come out after the H20 cleaning, when I run the Break Free patch down it always comes out with black Jag...

    Safety Glasses

    Whether or not people choose to wear Glasses when shooting is there own Biz, but FWIW, here's a Shot of my Lowes Safety Glasses after today's 45 round session with musket: Most of these spots are at least partially melted/imbedded into the plastic, and won't come out. Eric

    Linen Patches

    After shooting up all my Paper Cartridges for the Charleville today, I did some work with Patched Balls. The .018 Ticking was pretty tight, but I have some .010 high quality linen given to me long ago, and had it in my Range Box. My experience with cotton patching this thin has never been that...

    Shooting Glasses

    I wear Sun/Safety Glasses when shooting; always have. The amount of burnt in schmutz and grime after a session with BigLock Musket is impressive, and I usually go through 2-3 pairs a season, since, unlike the old style glasses that were actually made of tempered safety glass, a lot of the the...

    Gold Balls?

    Was casting Musket Balls a while ago. Pot was running low and I put in a section of thin-walled lead pipe I had; very clean, and very soft. Noticed a gold sheen on the dross, and the Balls came out with a distinctly golden hue. Any thoughts? Eric
