Thanks Mowgli T. Sunday I started a wish list at TOW with most of what you mentioned. I actually had the items in my cart and also some items for my High Wall 40-65 Winchester. The tally was a bit much for now and I have a BPCR shoot coming up so I put the Hatfield gear in the wish list. As most...
375supermag...as you may already know, if the 69gr bullets group better it is probably because your AR has 1:7 twist rate, if they don't it likely has a 1:8 or more likely a 1:9 twist. Other factors not withstanding, faster twist stabilize heavier bullets better and slower twist stabilize...
I filed the liner flush, hacksawed the slot a bit deeper and now it is working fine. :rofl: FYI, I checked the thread size on the liner and it is 8mm x 1.25.
I have not been pulled over since I received my carry permit (Illinois), but my instructor, a former LEO, gave the class what I consider some good advice. Hands on the wheel until asked for a driver license and when you hand it too him/her include your permit and the location of your firearm as...
Thanks for all the replies and the link MEH. I don't hunt anymore - can't walk that far, so my shooting will be club shoots and maybe Friendship this fall (which is itself more walking than I can probably do). I have inspected the rifle closely and am pleased to say the bore is smooth as a...
Well I just got back from town with some blue & white stripe ticking, muslin, 440 balls & 451 balls. In a couple of hours I'm going to make a little longer trip and pick up some 4fg & some 3fg powder (I've got plenty of 2fg) and I'll be ready to do some load testing. I'll let you guys know what...
Sounds like good advice to me MEH and there's no arguing with the results you show in your link. I'm headed out the door now for the fabric store to get an assortment of patch material to try. Thanks for your reply. --Steve
Thanks Jim, I was hoping it was made by Ted Hatfield's company. Now I just have to figure out a ball and patch size to start with and I'll be in business. I'm going to have to figure out the magic behind slugging a barrel with a breech plug and order me some cerrosafe for that chore. --Steve
Hello fellas. I purchased my first flintlock today, a 45 cal. Hatfield rifle. I am hoping that some of you can shed some light on how I can find out when it was made and by whom, i.e. Ted Hatfield or a later company.
The barrel is 39" long and it has Hatfield and 45 cal. stamped on the top flat...
