Right hand threads, but you have to remove the drum first it locks the breech plug. Since you didn't do that, the ball's in yore court.

There is a lot of knowledge available on the Muzzleloading Forum, and they don't mind sharing. :-D

Do y'all prefer the yellow or the green? Actually I don't think there's any bees wax in it. It reminds me of the synthetic toilet gaskets. :roll: I use a mixture of bees wax and mineral oil. You can...

I've been usin' 1/4" soft plastic tubing to keep my caps dry in the rain, Just cut a length that'll fit over the cap while its on the nipple, and the rain can't get down to the primin' compound....

If you happen to score a Hopkins & Allen type, you won't need two rifles as they are really set up for quick change barrels. :drinks:

There is a world of difference between static discharge and sparks thrown by steel tools. I think sparks will ignite black powder, at least it did for more'n 200 years worth of flintlocks. [smilie=1:
