    Powder Valley has percussion caps

    What I need is small pistol primers. Not many, just a few hundred at a reasonable price.

    That might be the prudent thing to do but I sure do like it.

    Mine doesn't look like either of those.

    A word of warning

    The tumbler I ordered from Lyman came in today. It required quite a lot of fitting to get the hammer to go on. I was told that the hammer screw was metric but the original fit perfectly. All is well again. Thanks for all your help.

    A word of warning

    That looks exactly like mine and the main spring on mine is very strong. I am not sure how I am going to get it back together. Coincidentally I got an email from Lyman wanting a review on the part I ordered but have not received the part yet.

    A word of warning

    Interesting. You raise a lot of good points but I don't have answers for most of them. Most of the rounds fired through this rifle have been by 4H kids. The shots fired with Triple Seven were fired by a 14 year old with no experience. I got him started and watched him fire one shot which didn't...

    Arcticap the powder charge was 40 grains of 3f triple seven. I was using it in a 4H black powder class and this was the first time I had used Triple Seven in it. The projectile was cast from the Lee 50 cal muzzle loader mould. I have never weighed one but my guess is 275 grains. I have had this...

    I would post a picture of it if Photobucket wasn't messing with me. It is remarkable the amount of metal that was sheared through. And there didn't seem to be any flaw or fatigue in it.

    A word of warning

    Long ago I was trying to use up some Pyrodex Pellets I had gotten for very cheap. When I ran out of pellets I still had a bunch of musket caps and was using those.

    A word of warning

    T/C says they don't make them anymore. I was told that the Lyman trade rifle had the same tumbler but all the screws are metric. I ordered one 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything since.

    Ephriam neither of those look right. Cooperfan It sheared the top part of the tumbler off. The part the hammer is screwed to. It was a clean break through a part that is at least 1/4 inch thick.

    A word of warning

    Don't use a musket nipple on your T/C Hawken if you are using Triple 7. I did this for about 5 shots before the tumbler was sheared into 2 pieces. Just try finding one of those at your local hardware store.

    That is some beautiful work. I have tried some engraving but I just have no talent.

    has anyone used one of these to kill animals like either game to eat or varmits causing trouble etc?

    I have shot jackrabbits with a 4 inch barrel 31 caliber pocket pistol some years ago. But rats when you lift up a piece of sheet metal is SO much fun.

    Goons Gunworks Query

    I sent Mike a dragoon and a pocket police in June of 2018. I haven't contacted him nor has he contacted me. I am not worried. If I thought there was anything to worry about I would not have sent them in the first place.

    Bent Cylinder Pin

    BC I have an air compressor and blow dry all my black powder stuff after cleaning. I am pretty sure I used Remoil before putting it away. But something happened. I am not sure what it might have been. I have never had much confidence in Remoil, now even less.
