I used to take a file and flatten the nose of FMJ military .30 carbine ammo.

At close range on a hog, it would turn inside out and shed the jacket.

I don't know what that did for accuracy,...

I recently acquired a set of these in 12,16,20 and 410, but no instructions.
I know that there were instructions posted here years ago, but those links are dead.
Did anyone here save a copy they...

We do have a hook breech and tang.

That's the problem....

The gun had a broken stock and many years ago my dad gave it to a cousin to put it back together. The cousin died on us, and the buttstock and barrel are all we could find in his house after his...

I gave up and just bought 38-55 brass. It works just fine untrimmed in my 1894 Big Bore Winchester.

Precussion

So, this has come down to me in pieces, with some lost. It's an old family gun, otherwise I wouldn't put this much time and money into it.

This is the lock we're thinking may work, but I'd like...

Wolfdog,
I definitely qualify as an old guy, and that meme is funny!:smile:

Thanks. I'll try that bullseye load.
Does anyone know of a powder that will have most of the case filled and still give good results with reduced loads in slow twist barrels?
I'm looking for...

Larry, I've been looking for a 22lr equivalent load for my Savage 340. What powder were you using here?

We have quite few around here in some areas. Here's a link to a piece of property I showed to a guy a couple of weeks back, but it was too far back in the woods for him. It's got a bunch of hogs and...

Just got the mold, it's in beautiful condition!
I am very pleased and hope it makes my Savage .22 Hornet happy, also. [smilie=w:

I'll take it.

I add 15% beef fat to my burger.
If making sausage, I add 30% pork fat.

Is a straight shooter!
I just got a 760 Remington from him that is exactly as he described it. He was also a great communicator during the transfer process. You may deal with him with confidence.

525

450

It was.

It did occur to me that HawkenHunter50 did not set a bid increment. :o

I'm still sticking with the 25 dollar increments that we were using up til now. 425, if necessary.

OK, it's on now!:)

400

I'm in at 350

Better pics. I'm leaning towards a 1795. I posted these to another forum and that seemed to be the general consensus. 299392299393299394299395

I at first thought it might be a conversion, but flintlock conversions usually have a small insert where the pan was. There is no evidence of that here.

It sure looks a lot like an 1816 lock,...
