I like it all except for cleaning, tho I’ve learned the hard way that if I’m going to shoot a lot of lead bullets, I had better clean those guns a little more often. That puts me in the minority of...

I can’t stand vulgarities in forums either. This thread reminds me of an event years ago. Me and my other half were in Davis, CA where her son was going to school at the U. Of California. We were...

Reminds me of an old Far Side cartoon of a tall building with one window in the entire building with a bird bouncing off the window. I’m sure I still have the cartoon around here somewhere.

I just ordered a Browning Strike Force Pro XD just today. I’ve heard good things about Browning trail cams. My old Bushnell finally bit the dust and photo quality left a lot to be desired. Check...

I was in my 50's before I even knew chili wasn’t supposed to have beans. No beans, it’s Not Chili!

I recently bought a can of chili and got home, put it away and went to use it one night only to...

My new to me yet to be fired by me TC Renegade in .50 Cal.

Below is an old flintlock my father bought at an auction held in an old...

Might be time for me to start a new thread, but for now, I’ll keep this one active. I just got around to swabbing the bore with some steel wool (0000) wrapped around a .45 Cal jag and some Remoil. ...

Oops. Did not see that. I’ve seen the longer jags and wondered why so long, but now it makes sense. My barrel is only 26 ½" long and that is the shortest rod there at 29" so is more than long...

I had some more stuff I had to order, so I ordered a .45 Cal jag. I have plenty of steel wool. The Ballistol and wire brush did remove some of the rust, but not all of it, but enough to allow me to...

No. I can see the entire length of the barrel with a good flashlight. The rust seems to be the full length of the bore.



Thank you. That is the exact info I was looking for. I’ll go try...

My neighbor on one side of me bought the house a couple of years ago. He was born here and lived here all his life, so I assumed he was into guns. We’d chat for a few minutes once every few months...

I just looked in my 50th Edition Manual today for the Sharps 25-45. It is Not in the 50th Edition, and I know the cartridge has been around for a while. I thought the Lyman Manuals had it all. I...

I’m no young thing either. I have not heard the words “Davy Crocket” for years. Doubt that I ever missed an episode. As for muzzleloading. I got interested in it a couple of years ago from...

The rust around the nipple in that photo looks ugly to me, but it’s the rust in the barrel that concerns me. It looks like light rust and the rifling looks ok. I took the barrel out earlier today...

I now have everything I need to go shoot this gun, but until our ugly gale force wind and horizontal rain takes a break, all I can do is watch videos and take photos of the gun. In the photo below...

I won an auction on GB for a new in box Marlin 1894 in .357 Magnum a few years ago. Seller said they lost it in their warehouse. He was a vindictive SOB and it got ugly. I had to resolve it thru...

Ok. I’ll wait till I have my accessories and then let it soak for a couple of days since I’m not sure when I’ll have them.

I’ve finally figured out what a Mini-ball is, but what is a Maxi-ball? ...

Guess I should have known the photos he posted would not hide the case hardening colors. Oh well. It looks nice in person.

Today I finally got some powder, caps, bullet puller, flask and a bunch...

I was hoping the lack of case-color in the sellers image was a poor photo. I suppose there is no way to remove the cold blue revealing the true colors?

As for what looked like rust on the breech...

The gun arrived yesterday in a brand new real tree camo soft gun case, a nice surprise. Still has the tag on it. Looking down the bore with a good light and I see light rust. No pitting that I can...

Cool. Mine arrives tomorrow. Probably be a while before I shoot it. No powder, caps or accessories yet, but the weather is horrible. Sun? Haven’t seen the guy in weeks. Liquid sunshine in...

I have the box to protect my computer from risky sites checked, and I will not uncheck that for any reason. I’ll just tell that stupid red box to let me in.

Got it last night and I just got again. Both times following the link in email to a thread I was subscribed to. I’m on the latest version of Firefox. 50.0 Time for a phish fry.

Elkins45 & Omega... Thanks for the replies. My other half has been using a food saver for years with zero problems. I don’t really have a need for one, but threads like this have me wanting. It...
