I have one still, originally used on my old CVA's with evil pyrodex, I trusted it more for hunting. A friend had a CVA that it was the ONLY way to get it to fire. With No.11 caps it would fire maybe...
One bad thing is a they make everything else you own seem a little crappy.

I bought a Mag-spark a couple years ago for hunting in weather like yesterday, rain and melting snow dripping from the trees all day. I like to "mute" the spark with a tiny bit of painters tape over...

I "retired" my Swedish wool army pants three years ago. I still bring them with me, but they're in reserve duty now. I hunted in them about 30 years. I stopped wearing them as my main hunting pants...

Posted in a thread about "dirty words".
Didn't post any.
Posted a link to another website.
On that website was a video.
In that video was someone who didn't use any dirty words either.

I bought a cut down one (stock) off a forum. When I got it, I found the last 8+ inches had no rifling. So I cut it down as short as I could. The rest of the bore was still pretty washed out, but was...

I've heard people say they "took a sound shot". They should be beaten to a pulp.

I've used cerrosafe several times to check bore diameter without issues. The only problem is you really can only check the throat and the muzzle, usually the largest parts of your barrel. (obviously...

My squirrel feeders keep them out of the bird feeders.
We feed birds... birds that can fly half way around the world. But get mad a pedestrian squirrels that can't go far at all.

Let us know if you want us to send down some salt too so your cars can rust out, get the full effect.

Do they make little cap seal rings for musket caps like they do for small ones? (I never looked)
In snow or damp weather, I change my cap regularly. Sometimes frequently, very if it's raining....

lol, I'm going the other way, buying musket cap nipples for my guns (despite having many tins of 11's)
Forum: Factory Rifles
Nope. You would think, but history shows us that's often not the case. The local workers might feel that way, but the removed powers that be probably don't care.
Forum: Factory Rifles
I don't know. New Ruger keeps showing they don't know or care about their own legacy and history, why should they care about Marlin's?
Hasn't been too recent I'll say. But I would rub standard lube in with my finger and wipe them off with a rag. If I wasn't feeling lazy, or for ones that would get carried around other than in an...
