This is a longshot, I know. I inherited a jam up Balscope Sr. Serial # has is made in 1957. It doesn't have any of the lens covers. Anyone have some or know where I might find some?
Thanks!...

Yes, the metal cap for the metal can, not the plastic one.

Anyone have an empty powder can laying around? More specifically, I need a screw on lid for the can. I'd like to make a pour spout and I don't have any old style cans.

I found this formula several years ago. Diameter^3 x 1504.56 = weight in grains. That's diameter cubed, times 1504.56. That's the same formula as AntiqueSledMan posted.

My bad, it is a hickory rod, but it's somewhat red in color from their stain. I'll try the leather stain. Thanks y'all.

I have an oak ramrod from TOW that's stained what I call red oak. I need to darken it to match a TC walnut stock a little better. Is there an easy way to darken it without totally refinishing it?

Numrich! Should have known. Fillister Head Screw, New (6-48 x 3/8") $2.75 each. Price plus shipping will hurt, but I need them.

This is a Green Mountain barrel, it's not a TC part or a standard screw. But, I'll check the specialty drawer at Lowes.

I have a GM drop in barrel for a T/C that I need to shim to get it to fit in my stock. The screws that hold the lug on the barrel are too short after the shims. They only have maybe two threads...

Yes, dropped right into my stock. They are complete with sights and ram rod.

I bought a .54 in the spring and it is a shooter.

Thanks Country Gent, I didn't think of that. I have the taps.

Thanks guys, after some more searching, I'm just going to buy another. I like bstone5s way of thinking.

I was given a CVA brass flask. It's the large one with a 30 gr tip. The valve is broken. It looks like the shaft of the valve corroded and it seized to the brass top. Are there any parts...

Hoppes #9 Black Powder Solvent and Patch Lube and I don't wipe between shots.

You can try eBay too. There are some for sale.

That's correct. But, get that .32 cal brush from Cain's. They are on Ebay.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
If you feel you have to use a brush, get one from Cain's Outdoors. They are built so that that there is less chance they will pull loose from the stud. But never say never....
Forum: Muzzleloading.
Try this one. Shipping is reasonable. Won't harm the muzzle, so you won't need a muzzle guide.

Try Cain's Outdoors. I use their "Pistol Range Rod". It's Delrin and virtually indestructible.

I shoot a Renegade a lot in our monthly club matches. I use a .490 ball and 0.025 ticking. I use 50gr of ff for 25 and 50 yards. I bump it to 60gr at 100 yards. I do have to adjust my aim point...

I have a new Green Mountain barrel on the way. Any advice for shooting a new barrel? Any break-in suggestions?
