Where did you find a cleaning rod? I have had the same problem finding one? Mine shoots way high. Havn,t sorted that out yet. /

I'll take the pistol if it works and has a good bore, Jaeger

Barnabus, I've been shooting a Rapine 578 510 grain minie sized to .577 w 45 gr 2f for decades in all my Hoyt and Whitacre relines going from 1/56 to 1/72 . Jim Leinike in his exellent articles...

T-bird, I had a brass cone on my R&S and it did. I can not vouch for yours. Hopefully some one else will chime in. Jaeger.

S&S sells a higher front site blade with a rounded top, but you need to have a dovetail cut. Once you have your load you file it down to the height you need and the shape you want. You can adjust for...

I live "down east" NC. Think Harkers Island. I'd rather sell them as I did buy them. I only use as pure a lead as I can get for muzzleloaders. At the time I was fixin to get into black powder ctg....

Beemer, Yes, one is pictured in Brophys book. Do you have a picture of him with it? Jaeger.

Bigbore, You are my hero! Waiting for the video! Lost a filling a couple of decades ago just shooting a Win. M97 with a buckshot load. Jaeger

I know a little. I mean I have mainspring vises and can at least dismount them. It seems in the old days a gunsmith should have been able to make a lock from scratch. The whole kit and caboodle. I...

Bought from Navy arms maybe 2 decades ago around 50 or so 1 lb ingots. Still have the wooden ammo box they came in. Inside lid still has the paper tag 50/50 tin, lead. No receipt. Well I am never...

I made a similar post a short time ago with no response. A friend who quit NSSA shooting gave me maybe 100 rounds of loaded and lubed .577 minies. I tried to shoot them and shot maybe 4. The lube was...

I use SPG on my minies these days but have a buddy in Atlanta that I cast for and he shoots his musket rarely and need to find a lube for him that will age well. I have lots of old minies on which...

Thank you Chris, Just what I was looking for, Jaeger.

I've been told it is an easy job for a machinist to measure using a "pin gauge", whatever that is. You might need a sizer as well. My mould throws a .578 minie which I size down to .577. I cast a...

Barnabus, The NSSA is certainly the best place for info on the subject.

Thanks all for your responses. Jaeger

I've seen some videos on this item but with mixed reviews and unanswered questions. Any body have any experience with this gun? Also, how many magazines can you shoot for a 2 cylinder load. Thanks...

There are two people in the NSSA that perform some sort of o ring mod. It is said that they can shoot a whole match w/o cleaning. Last time I was in Atlanta I put a virtually new Pedersoli carbine on...

I've got a Stevens favorite M1915 with about as shot out a bore as I've ever seen. Wonder if she will shoot shot. At what range and what type pattern should I expect? Relining is not as cost...

Thank you Waksupi.

Have a short 1842 musket bbl. for a fun project. The tang is snapped off so I drilled a somewhat off center hole and tried an easy out with all the heat I dared. Presoak in Kroil. No avail. How far...

I believe there is a guy in England who will make one in whatever size you want. Can't remember the details but bet if you go to the NSSA forum you will find somebody who knows. Jaeger.

roysha, Edward has given some solid advise. Flaydermans guide to antique American firearms and their values is more or less the bible on the subject. I used to sell some original and repro guns and...

Taylor, I have a friend, old enough to know better, who has a hole in the side of his garage. He was using heat to remove a stuck nipple. This often works but be sure she in not loaded first. Jaeger

I have an armi san marco 3rd model with the 3 leaf rear site. Would like to duplicate the .45 long colt load of 265 gr. Boolet at around 950 fps. I think there in ample space for powder. Don't know...
