Powder in flash channel has always worked for me with a dry ball. When I got a ramrod and patch hopelessly jammed the barrel of a brand new Pedersoli musket, the grease method worked. I used Crisco so the clean-up wasn't that bad. Compressed air would not budge it.

If you can only get one, tough decision then. I'd get the Springfield. Pedersoli did a really nice job with this one. The bright finish metal work, complete with US eagle on the lock, is well done and looks great. The lock plate is thick and heavy. I don't know if the originals were that...

I have both, but the Enfield is the 23" barreled musketoon version, which apparently Cabelas no longer carries. Field strip is essentially the same for both. From memory... - Remove ramrod - Remove barrel bands (Enfield=screws, Springfield=spring retainers) - Remove tang screw - Remove...

Wasn't sure what the best sub-forum was.

This was in Arizona last weekend. This is the second time I've seen this particular sign. I don't like seeing "No Firearms" on businesses but I can understand why a hoplophobe business owner might post one. But lumping legal gun carrying citizens in with illegal drug use is ridiculous. I...

So if he didn't destroy it, then he's lying to the OP. For what reason? So he can keep the gun for himself? Sell it to a friend cheap? Ship it to a Mexican cartel? This FFL sounds like a jerk. Hope the OP gets his gun or the money back.

Thanks! Picked up an .36 "Army Police" for $195 shipped (had a $20 off coupon) Been eying this model for a while. I realized it's not historically correct, but looks like a neat gun. ETA: Bummer. Didn't see the free ship AND $20 off combo. The coupon I had didn't work with free shipping.

Those rules suck. Was there some precipitating incident? Did some "Angry Moms" manage to infiltrate the board? Good luck. Hope you can get the changes reversed or barring that, find a new range that is suitable.

I bought an Enfield musketoon due to one of his videos. Seems like a real nice guy and his videos are pretty entertaining and typically informative as well.

So what good are Heller & McDonald when this kind of crap still goes on? 5 years in jail for mere possession of an M1 carbine?

Bummer that Kelly is off the show. I liked that kid and he is a good shooter.

I just bought a 700 SPS online from Buds. Picking it up Monday at my FFL. I was a little wary because of the QC issues I've heard about. We'll see. Hopefully I'll be able to resolve any minor issues myself.

For far too many CA gun owners, shooting it just another hobby. At best, maybe they are NRA members, but otherwise they are uninformed, won't help the cause or donate a dime. If their hobby is banned or made too expensive, they'll grumble, shrug their shoulders and take up another hobby. I...

This really shows their true evil intent. Trained, licensed citizens on campus can (and have) prevented mass shootings, not to mention other violent crimes. These politicians want to ban legal campus carry. Therefore my only logical conclusion is they wish to increase violent crime on campus and...

Thanks Trooper Steve. Makes sense. 5 is what it would hold sans extension, should hold 7 with extension (not 8 as I mis-stated in my earlier post). I had it out at the range again today. Another 40 rounds through with no failures. 3 different brands of birdshot (let my buddy shoot it using...

I bought a 930 SPX a few months back. Have about 200 rounds through it so far with no malfunctions. Shooting both 00 buck and cheap birdshot. Stripped and lubed it before first use and then again after 100 RDS. My only issue is the mag only holds 5 2 3/4" shells for some reason. It should hold 8...

UPS man delivered my 1860 today. The quality is amazing for the price. Hopefully it shoots as nice as it looks. I bought a Pietta C&B revolver 10 or 12 years ago from Cabelas and sent it back due to the disappointing fit and finish. Pietta has really upped their quality since then it seems.

Wow, thanks. Been wanting an 1860 and was considering the Pietta 1860 London model ($300), but couldn't pass this deal up!

Another vote for Powder Valley. Go in with some friends to amortize the hazmat and shipping fees over a larger order. They accidentally shorted me 1000 caps on a medium-sized order. I e-mailed them and they shipped out the caps the next day, no questions asked.

I've got a Marlin 1894CP, which is a discontinued model with a short (16.5" IIRC) ported barrel. Very handy and a fun plinker with a small Millet red dot sight. I don't like the ports, which tend to spit stuff at shooters next to me. Also recently ran into the dreaded Marlin jam and after...
