Any mold prep needed? Do you simply fill the cavities and cut the sprue when set?

What Winelover said.

The pin holding the blades in my Quick Trim Case Trimmer broke and the blades came out. They are sending me a complete new cutting assembly. Kudos!

Please explain the 56% and 75%. I don't think I've seen that before.
I realize it is a percentage think but do not know who/how these numbers came up.

Thanks

Boogieman,
Do you use this wet or soak your patch material and let it dry?

Would you mind explaining/showing how and what tools you used to get the cheek piece off? I am the second owner of a poorly executed kit gun and have wanted to try a redo.
Yours looks great.

Returned it to the friend today. Looks all ended well! Thanks again to all.

Ballistics in Scotland,
I have one of the tools shown in post #39 of the Cleaning patented breech/ante chamber thread. I wrapped it in steel wool, put it on a piece of rod and used the cordless...

Got it apart!
Texas, the boiling did not free the cylinder enough to turn but it did soften the crud holding the cylinder pin enough so I could drive it out by tapping the "ears" with a brass drift...

I think we will give the boiling water a try. Thanks Texas!

First of all, thanks for all the replies.
I spoke with a very nice lady who answered the Navy Arms phone. A little info according to her: the "old" Navy Arms closed 2001; no parts available (...

The only other markings I find are a square with AF inside and a shield/coat of arms symbol with PN below that.

Boz330 says FFFg is held on a 30 mesh.

Fishingsetx says FFg will not pass a 30 mesh.

I do not have my screens yet but wondering which is it?

I forgot to mention this in the original post. I believe this is a Remington style based on what I was able to look at in the way of my searches. I am not very familiar with these guns and they are...

I am trying to help a friend with a cap and ball pistol. We have no paperwork on the gun. It is marked 44 cal.; made in Italy and Navy Arms, s/n 0567xx.

First, can anyone tell us who the...

Thanks Robert I will have to redo.

Last evening I typed a post to put on Muzzleloading. While prepping it, it was autosaved several times but when I went to submit, my internet provider went south. Is it lost or on here somewhere I...

10-4. If Santa comes through, I should be able to give it a go early next year.

Fly,
I am north of Sand Springs. I got some black willow when the county knocked one down near the house and I got some cedar from a neighbor who has been running a load of lumber through a...

I am one step closer to trying this in that I bought a one gallon paint can at one of the box stores today. I am going to make a TLUD. But, the can is lined. Will this ruin the first batch of...

I looked into this recently after reading about making felt wads and a poster stated he had used one pound Crisco and one bee's wax ring to soak his felt prior to punching out the wads. I could not...

No burrs, etc. The bullets were crimped and there was wad under the bullets.
Talked to Maggie (nice lady at Howell who consulted with Mr. Howell) and their opinion was a stuck firing pin.

The primer was not dimpled but rather flowed the other way in to the firing pin hole. I think for this to happen, the pin would have been literally wedged out because they are so free floating.

The guns: two Ruger Old Army revolvers; one stainless and one blued; both 7.5" barrels; one stainless Howell conversion cylinder.
The loads: mixed brass; 35 gr Pryodex P and 35 gr Goex FFFg;...

Fly and Whizzer,
Thanks for the advice/comebacks! I will discard what I have. The project will have to go on hold for a while due to pickup repairs and other priorities. I will continue to read...
