JB weld won’t work well I tried once it lasted about 10 shots . Solder or riveting is the way to go

I’d try 5-6 grs of bullseye with those and see if they will shoot with that undersized nose . It’s a low power load but will still shoot 10’s at 50 yds with a bullet it likes . I’ve shot many many...

Thanks all for the help everyone I got the Winchester all stripped down and the offending screws tightened up nice and tight as I could with the tiny screwdriver and blue lock tight , should be good...

Thanks all , the more I looked at it I figured it would be a pain . I’m gonna watch some videos and learn how to strip it down to be able to access the inside of the receiver . Still very close...

I looked up the schematics that bar is the cartridge guide bar if it’s any help for a solution

Gentlemen my friend wanted me to look at a win 94 30/30 that the action wouldn’t fully open . I told him I’d take a look at the ole gal . So I start to get it apart and I’ve found the issue, but...

If you can’t pull it out drill out all that you can don’t try to melt it out you’ll just burn up the stock . I have a 24 ga (58 cal) smoothbore with a 30 “ barrel and it only weights 6 lbs and...

fully agree with you on the myth . I’ve shot cast in quite a few different gas guns may pick up a flake of silver now and then in the gas system but far far from effecting function . Now just maybe...

That was my go to bullet next best was the 312-185 lee and as you said about the same as surplus ball at 100 yds

Don’t know if coil springs in the lock are a step forward or backwards well I do BUT , imo nothin wrong with properly made main and frizzen spring. Compare a chambers late ketland to a TC ...

Our Wally mart usually carry’s them around deer season It’s one of the few places near me in western Pa that does as flinters and in lines are more popular

I bought several pounds of it a years or so ago and the it’s just a big mix of grain sizes . I took the time to sift it all off and about 75%was 2-3F granulation best as I can figure The stuff I...

That’s odd on my 200 gr 45 cal I can just about thumb seat them to the top band and then a firm push on the rod , once it’s in the barrel I can seat it on the powder with two fingers on the rod . If...

Id remeasure the barrel (land to land) and see if you get the same reading. And look for a ball size that will work for it . I don’t think a very undersized ball and a double patch is conductive to...

Depends what your targeting on the pier , I’ve done a good bit of fishing off the obx piers but am mainly trying for the smaller eating size fish , if that’s the case a a 3-4000 size spinning reel...

Little late to this post but I’ll throw my odd duck pick in the mix . It’s a Remington 17A , It’s an old family gun from my dads uncle . Only made them in 20 ga and she’s light and shoulders...

Agree with the above post a fouling covered patch will tarnish up brass in short order

What I ended up doing was sifting it all off in different screens, the bulk of it ended up being 1.5-3F in granulation . I just mixed the 2-3F into one lot and have used near a pound of it in my...

Thanks all for the thoughts and opinions , Yes I hear what some of you are saying about the type of kit it is . As the guy explained to me he really wants to get into flintlocks/black powder but he...

I’d consider that a bargin for your level of craftsmanship Sir .

that’s my issue I don’t know I’m not a pro gunsmith I’m a sheet metal worker for my day job , never did gun work for anyone before . I’m fully confident I can do the work but again what’s a fair price

I’m not a professional smith but a local guy reached out to me on our local Facebook flint lock hunting page asking if I could assemble assemble a investarms hawken kit , I’ve built a number of...

Send me a PM about what exactly you need cut , I run a water jet at my job I may be able to to take care of what you need

I’d call it possible . That load and speed is similar to a 45 cal round ball (128gr)from a muzzleloader and have seen my dad kill quite a few doe with similar results meaning flattened out ball and...

My family have always been meat hunters . And dad taught both me and my brother to shoot well , since my first deer 40 years ago I’ve never got the shakes till after I’ve shot and gotten to the...
