      Black Powder firearms discussion

      Looks like a standard Thompson Center barrel. Does it say Thompson Center anywhere on the barrel?

      Atalon, you haven't told us what kind of gun you have. Instead of melting the lead out there are a few options I will list them here in order of ease. 1) Stick an airhose on the nipple and blow it out. Or use Dixie Gunworks CO2 ball extractor Dixie Gun Works muzzleloading, blackpowder and...

      Antique Rifles

      There aren't many Danish rolling blocks that still shoot the original brass. Most were rechambered for 45/70.

      Dixie Gunworks probably has the parts you need. Dixie Gun Works muzzleloading, blackpowder and rare antique gun supplies. If you post a photo we could see which screw is missing. If it is the one holding the front of the trigger guard on, it may also be the same (long) screw that holds the...

      Atalon, that wire thingy is for removing stuck patches or for cleaning a barrel with tow. It won't pull a ball.

      Black Powder firearms discussion

      I find that three sizes of ball puller work well. The smallest one might pull the ball, but it usually strips out instead. The next bigger size goes into the hole that was just stripped out. If that doesn't work then the biggest, lag bolt size, will pull the ball. Make sure that you have put...

      Home Alarms: ADT or Brinks?

      Circle City Alarm. They are locally owned and prefer to hardwire the alarms instead of relying solely on radio waves. They are good people to work with.

      Antique Rifles

      The newer smokeless powders have a slightly different pressure spike than blackpowder. They also are more hygroscopic and can cause rusting faster than using blackpowder. All of the old guns shoot basically a cartridge case full of powder. As a matter of fact it is just about impossible to...

      Antique Rifles

      We are talking blackpowder pressures, so trimming to length is not something we worry about. I will check the brass for length after every 10 shots or so just as a matter of principle. We don't worry about keeping the bullet seated in the brass because we are shooting single shot rifles, so...

      Antique Rifles

      I shoot an 1874 Danish Rolling block chambered for the obsolete cartridge 11.7 X 56R. There are places that sell weird brass and bullets. Mine takes a 500 grain lead bullet and the brass was fireformed from 348 Winchester Brass. Guns that old should only be shot with real black powder, forget...

      Is Anyone Concerned?

      We didn't have any riots after Martin Luther King was killed. Trayvon isn't worth rioting over.

      My First Muzzleloader Rifle

      I have been shooting traditional muzzleloaders flintlock and caplock for 30 years. I have never shot or even handled an inline. However, there are some things that still apply no matter what. 1) Clean your gun as soon as you can after shooting. Soap and water works well, so does windshield...

      How do you hang your steel targets?

      Old kids steel swing sets make good target hangers. Sometimes you can pick them up free by the side of the road. Buck67
