A lot of good info on making BP http://www.musketeer.ch/blackpowder/bp_menu.html

Picked up 3 boxes of 325 packs at Wal Mart this morning at 7 first I've seen there but then again I never got there that early before. One other person in front of me and there was three boxes left after I got mine. Then the associate opened another box with 50 ct boxes and there was more on the...

Last Lead smelter So where will the bullets come from? http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/

I will be moving to Nevada soon and starting to pack things up. I have about 10 lbs of powder, around 6K of primers several lbs. of Black and 1000 percussion caps. Any suggestions on the safest way pack these things so I don't have any surprises on the interstate? I'm planning on loading...

Given time and luck With a little luck and time they fix themselves and turn out ok. Some just take a little longer.

Prong Horn He was eating grass just out side of my barn door when I was feeding the horses, went back in and got the old 30-40 and when I got back he was even closer. Less than 10 feet I would guess and still had grass in his mouth when he dropped. He was a good sized fellow and I thought he...

Orlando, I did notice the dented area but wasn't sure if I should take it down a bit. The stock is new, stamped Mar 22, 2013 on the inside. What sort of finish should I use on the wood? I remember many years ago (50 maybe) my dad and I using Linseed oil on the stocks of all our rifles. Would...

Two whacks with the palm did it. Thanks to all for the help.

rc, it was all together when I got it and it was tight to get off. I just didn't want to break or bend anything. Thanks to you both, I'll give it a try after dinner.

Some close ups of the stock may help.

Just got a new CMP Garand (it really does look new) Decided to strip, clean, grease it before shooting it. All went well until the last step, putting the trigger group back in. It goes this far then won't budge. By itself it closes just fine Without the stock it will close fine...

Made up some lube (same as on my wads for the '58) and cast some .530 round balls and picked up two tins of CCI #11 caps. Still need to make the patches and of course wait for the rifle to get here.

That's an idea, I think I'll give it a try. Not that I'm cheap but I make my own peanut butter, yogurt, bread, ice cream, designed and built my house and barn, run my own business, even fixed several ipods along the way. Satisfaction is what it is about. Smelt lead, cast boolits, make holy...

Went with the Pedersoli Thanks for the input, I decided to spend my Cabela's bucks and got the new Pedersoli. I wanted the .54 because my friend has one and I have the molds. I would have gone with the "Cabela's" on Guns America but the sellers never answered my emails. I've poured my own round...

I am looking to buy one of the following: Lyman Trade Rifle http://www.hinterlandoutfitters.com/lyman-trade-rifle-6032126-black-powder-hardwood-blue-lock-p-16817.html Or: Pedersoli Traditional Hawken...

I'll admit I have only had it out shooting once, we will see what it looks like after a few more trips. My other pistol bag is just that a bag and I can't ever find any thing in it. You would think that with just mags, ammo and pistols it wouldn't be that complicated (messy) but it just is.

CMP My CMP order just went up on their "E-Store" so I should be getting it in a few weeks. :)

Stuff in the box I guess I should have mentioned the contents. The bottom with the revolver is 2 lbs of powder, 2 sizes of balls, extra cylinder, jar with lubed wads (home made), the 2 spray bottles are empty now but will contain lube and cleaner. On top of that is towel for cleaning pad...

I was going to ask how folks get their revolvers to the range when I saw a "muzzleloader box" on Amazon. It didn't have very good reviews so I said to myself "Self you could make a better one of those" So with a $10 Stanley tool box from Wally World and some scraps I came up with this...

Father's Day My lovely Daughter got me one of these for Father's Day. I guess I'm in, not a bad place to be.:)
