Truthfully, the 2-pounder (or less) swivel guns don't have much more recoil than a 4-bore BP shotgun. Otoh, having fired a FULL-POWER 4-bore double some years ago, that recoil out of a >16 pound SxS scattergun was (according to a college chum, who was a Golden Gloves Cruiserweight boxer) "about as much fun as going 10 rounds ...Weighs just over 8lbs, so it's quite handy for a double barrel gun. Barrel swivel detents are nice and solid. Seems in decent shape overall. These are fairly uncommon so if you're thinking about playing with a swivel breech this is about as affordable as it gets. $550 Shipping Included. Last edited: Oct 24, 2021.

I called their customer service today and the operator confirmed that they discontinued the Hawken. My .50 cal flinter shoots low and way to the left.I use the ready made stuff from totw, and it works really well, so I thought why not try a home brew. I went to blue ribbon products inc out of Indiana they sell 8oz of pure mink oil for $8.50 plus shipping (abt $12.00) I mixed 1/2 oz oil to 1 oz lamb tallow, all by weight put the mix in a container in warm water to blend it.

I found that when shooting with a nitro card I was getting a donut pattern, though the standard Skychief load still significantly reduced pattern size. Also, dont mind the artwork!

A token nod to the metric system suffices here in UK, and even the government of the day gave up trying to fully metricate the UK back in the 80's.As far as your 45 Seneca, it is not a long range ‘magnum’ muzzleloader. I have a 45 caliber Cherokee and love it as a ‘carrying’ gun. I find it deadly at 50 yards or so, with its zero at 75 yards, my personal maximum maximum range with it.

The Italian guns are, in general, very good quality; more-so than the Spanish creations. The barrels, though, on both are as about as good as they get on a factory gun. The weak link seems to be the flint locks they come with (both makers). they are mostly good/very good but are often very, very bad.

Learned this trick from my father who used to cast fishing sinkers. IMO, it does help with allowing the balls to exit the mould easier. If you have a mold where bullets stick, take 0000 steel wool and gently polish the edges of the cavities. Some use an Exacto knife to gently scrap the edges, but that scares me.

All the flats have multiple dovetails on them as it's had under lugs and sights at every position possible.Dec 8, 2018. #1. I am relatively new to ML. With the older eyes I changed the iron sights on the Lyman Great Plains rifle to the Lyman fiber optic sights. The rear hi vis green are ok but the front red is no better than the old iron sight.

Russ Hamm (in Indiana) made flint and percussion locks (no longer in production) patterned after Ashmore and marked "Ashmore Warranted" in two lines. I had a right hand flint lock and it was excellent quality. I believe Mr. Hamm stamped the insides of the lockplates with his name, but do not recall for certain.
