I make my nipple wrenches from 1/4 sockets same as Pocket. I use a 3/16 socket I had to turn down the out side of the socket to fit my 49 pocket pistol. I use one nipple wrench for all my cap and ball revolvers Dragons down to my pocket pistol. If you take the time to make one you will never buy...

As posted there better ways of removing dry balls but at some point, you need to pull a dry ball you will need an HD ramrod with a handle. You can buy a steel rod at the hardware store. Using a centering punch you can mark the center of the rod...

A two-grain bullseye charge is small. You can sweep, push a dipper down into the power, you strike the powder level with the top of the dipper, you can give the dipper shake to level the top. or leave a mound and not level the powder. All these things will make different charges out of one...

I ordered a 45 Colt conversion cylinder for my 58 NMA while I was on Taylor's website I read if you shoot Black powder cartages in their conversion cylinders you need to pull the firing pins when cleaning. Is this something you guys are doing?

You can make matching filler using Dap bathtub caulking tinted with Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, and Burnt Umber paint tinting colors. These three tinting colors can be blended to match any color wood. If you want to go the linseed oil and sawdust method you can color match the repair using Rit...

Cast your own bullets and tumble lube them or even better powder coat them. You can shoot them with a few grains of pistol or shotgun powder. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?13425-Cast-Bullet-Loads-for-Military-Rifles-Article

Only load a few rounds to start with test them make sure feed and shoot you can save a lot of time pulling bullets. I load 9mm for my granddaughter her M&P is easy her Glocks are length sensitive the bullets OAL needs to be a little longer to feed right but still within specs.

You just need a light to crimp the remove the flair. Just apply enough crimp so the rounds chamber easily.

the RAW rolling papers, Curling papers, and nitrated coffee filters all work great. I like the nitrated coffee filters and I can't tell why because they don't work any better than the others.

this is how I did it.

Why don't you try LA cleaner as a lube?

Wish I was there that was awesome.

I think this is the way t go. Geta drill a bit bigger than the threads on the nipple use it as a mandrel bend the wire tight around it and clip the ends. I used to do this to make gaskets for Yugo SKSs to fix gas leaks between the gas block and gas tube worked like a charm.

Put a little GoJo hand cleaner over the loaded balls there will be no binding. GoJo melts black powder fouling on contact but there is one catch GoJo does not work on petroleum hard fouling so if you petroleum oil on your gun it won't work. I have also spit on the loaded chambers (notice I did...

The only place I can find Remington caps in at BPS and they want 9.00 a hundred they can keep them. I was resizing CCI #11 caps and they were working great. With newer #11 CCI caps I have not been having the little disks falling out of the caps. Now I have Uncle Mikes nipples thanks to the...
