Here's a sight for ya ,50 30 Gr. paper carts ready for th 1851 fanner.The ones with the red mark are 3f swiss the rest are home made powder. All carts have lube pill under the ball .Ben testing smaller lube pills .I now use a 5/16"lube pill and so fare they are doing great.Don't think I needed the 3/8 "pill and so far its working ok.The smaller pill keeps the mess to a minimum on the front of the cylinder but keeps the arbor lubed so there no drag cycling the action. It also keeps the fouling soft in the barrel.Will keep testing for function but so far it looks promising.Also I have made new template for making the carts to the bare minimum.Less paper means less chance of paper binding up the action.172650172651
