What lube? If a water based lube pull or shoot it and clean. A grease based lube like mink oil will be fine. You can run a few damp patches down to the ball then a rust preventative if it makes you...

JB. Good info on Knapp it a piece of flint or chert. As I understood the OP has some cut agate type stuff. I never had any luck pressure flaking sawn agate.

A diamond wheel. That’s why I use knapped black English flints, just need my small brass hammer.

Jim Kibler makes some nice rifles in the white in that price range. Tip Curtis will sell nicely done guns in the white.

So you and 2 locals order 15 lbs. the hazmat used to be $25 but at $27 is $9 per 5 lbs.

Powder Inc the was competitive last i bought.

I haven't changed the butt plate but did fit a trigger guard from the Hawken shop. A pewter nose cap is on the agenda.

I'd contact L&R, explain the situation and send it to them. Your attempts to fix the problem shouldn't absolve them of responsibility for a correct fit between frizzen and spring (with or without a...

No pics. Pic hosting is a pain. Mine is a Renegade stock, .54 GM flint drop in barrel, L&R RPL Lock. De farbed barrel, Hawken Shop trigger guard all iron browned. Stock has nothing but Tung Oil on...

What is called cedar in central Texas is actually a type of juniper (mountain?). Would this make good charcoal for BP?

I pull the lock to rinse and install a flushing nipple w hose. A few wet patches then go to the lock rinse then spray w WD40. Do some putting up then drop the hose (has a drilled out minie ball mold...

.36 GM barrel 42" long uses Goex or Schutzen FFg. 4F in the pan.

He probably is concerned about shooting a .62 w a cracked stock.

I'm transitioning all of my molds to iron. Found it hard to keep temperatures reasonably consistent then started getting "feathers " at the spru on a couple.

Nick55 or anyone where to get a .576 push thru sizer?
Thx

Personally I'd shy from any thing bigger than a .32 or .36 w a cracked wrist unless it was cheap enough to have it restocked.

Been said on many forums that OLD prelubed patches deteriorate. Then they don't shoot well and can't be found.

No, no, no I don't mean leave Aussie land just relocate to a more tolerant or rural locale down under. I've been "out in the county" most of the time since graduation from college. More and more...

Peter, you obviously need to relocate!!!��

My only experience w the Lyman lack of service department involved a broken sprue plate screw for a double cavity mold. The Lyman web site only showed a "repair kit" so I got other screws etc I...

You have the screw on the way. Wait till the screw comes then see what that thread is.

👍👍 on Powder inc. IIRC prices on their web site include shipping and hazmat.

.40 cause I've had .32 and .36 and like the .40 better. Make of lock doesn't make a lot of difference on a pop gun to me but get a small Siler then it will be easy to
upgrade to a flintlock.

I tried Ballistol about 11 years ago. Ok. Leaner but I took a new job and left one of my long rifles w the bore wiped w Ballistol. A few months later "when the dust had settled " I ran a patch thru...

BS. Yankee deer don't know synthetic motor oil smell from turnip greens. AND I only use conicals in a musket. Deer are hunted w PRBs in flintlocks.
