Full of details about smooth bore musket making on water powered equipment!

Ben_Rumson

Well, nobody else has said it so I will... 25yds with a 44 caliber P.R.B. out of a SMOOTH BORE open sighted caplock long gun on the Magpie!!!
EXTRA Well Done Sir! How far away were the bunny shots?

Ben_Rumson

Liked him in "Men of Honor" too.

Wonderful article.. Great work! But where would we be without Loc Tite?

Ben_Rumson

I just read the wikipedia article...But I was luckier than the fellow in the article. I got to use the Internet! instead of letters to pilots associations I got to post to many Bomb Group associations. I found out the name of my uncle's Fort, all the names and positions of the crew and even the name...

The main reason they lost 60 aircraft is two air groups were supposed to air rendezvous and fly on to their targets that day but one group got weather delayed in England. As you say no fighter escort when it counted. So the German fighters shot up the first air group then had time to land and rearm ...

Invented for Dr. Strangelove....

I've always admired this type of Levergun..Even more so with this version

Ben_Rumson

This report was really fun to see & read. Thanks! 8) Folks tend to shoot high in low light situations because they unconsciously raise their front sight up out of the rear sights notch so they can see it better. The tang sight will cure that but not the parabolic trajectory issue you were dealin...

Ben_Rumson

No I didn’t miss the point … I have known about the rapid fire method you just found out about for years, and always have thought it very cool and have practiced it some. The Brits were always looking to improve their rifles and make them soldier proof. The No.4 rifle was created as a war time exped...

Ben_Rumson

Hey Miller :D Check the vid again. All of "Blokes" fast shooting was done with 7.62x39. An AK mag will NOT accept 303 British rounds. The Brits must have thought something was wrong with the SMLE No1 (rear Locking lugs) because they came up with the P-14 which has frontal locking lugs like...

Got a neg f/b because I returned not as advertised rifle within the allowed 3 day inspection time.. Stinkin Hosers ....

Fantastic! I really admire that. I hope I can do a 1/0th of what you do in a day.

Man that stinks that you have to move away from HI. Ji, I have no suggestions of where to look for housing here in the contiguous 48. But I can suggest lead BBs http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gamo-177-Cal-Round-Lead-Balls-250ct-/112307851580?hash=item1a2611d13c:g:Zo4AAOSw4CFY0sf7 Yeah they wont be as flat ...

I found his page quite by accident while looking up BP recipes & goods and was pleased to find him here. Unfortunately what I remember is the way he was hounded here until he finally got fed up & left this place be cause he said he was a Liberal.

This

Ben_Rumson

Thanks

Yep but still looks like a plated Remington model?

Ben_Rumson

Thanks for the report! You got a keeper & look at all of the Fun you've already had.

Ben_Rumson

All the mods I made to this 1858 were done w/o benefit of the internet as it was in the 1980s. Like most other shooters cylinder drag was problematic for me and my 1858 but when I bought a Rogers & Spencer reproduction revolver I saw they had cured the problem of cylinder drag stoppages by shiel...

Ben_Rumson

You've got it lubed now's the time to spin the steel wool on a bore brush. Good Luck

Ben_Rumson

I agree with Bill in Oregon on that but not the bit about a Kilt...It would clash with my 7 League Boots

This place is fun. http://www.middlesexvillagetrading.com/MRBB.shtml

Prolly wont find many pics of Horses and Mini Shetlands working together. I hear regular Horses freak at the sight of one and regular type Shetlands.

Looks like someone is parting one out. I saw the Peep sight for it too.

From the catalog

An old Bannerman's catalog I have notes that there was a version of the Puckle available to the Ottoman Empire that shot square projectiles to dispatch Infidels

Ben_Rumson

As it stands now the Flintlock is the champ for longevity in that it stayed in use two centuries IIRC before a malcontent duck hunter used some fulminate of mercury to make a lock that was faster so the ducks wouldn't alert when they saw the pan flash of the Flinter and take flight before the shot g...

SIDE.jpg ACTION.jpg Winchester stole yer idea!! They called it a Kiln Gun. It shoots 3oz. 8ga Zink slugs down a 48.5” smooth bore tube. The action design was based on the Martini beefed up to industrial grade and hard chromed for wear. I used to have to clean & PM them after a crew ran a case o...

If I doze off before Midnight I know the gunfire and fireworks will wake for the event. Good luck & Blessings all

Ben_Rumson

Those should last for a good while. Happy shooting you crazy kids

Ben_Rumson

Thanks, I'll use that idea!

Ben_Rumson

I like the Lee hand press. The press operates smoothly. But for de-priming the 310 with universal de-priming die is the fastest surest thing I’ve ever used . I can adjust it so the primer will fall so uniformly I can drop them in a coffee cup in front of me at the table . I’ll do as much reloading w...

Recently saw a sparrow hawk nab a red squill out of a nearby tree and fly off. Looked very cool!

Ben_Rumson

I scoped out a Colt 1970s era to purchase but it was already out of time NIB,so I passed. In reading one of Hatcher's books he said he thought the SAA got its popularity because it could always be made to fire even if it was broke

Turning the cylinder by hand etc.

Ben_Rumson

Thanks Ray! I love things like this.

Ben_Rumson

Nope not mine. Don't even remember where I swiped the image. Broke my heart to have to down size to get them to display here. Got one snipped off from the pair and use it for wall paper Cause They're Purty

Those are made to put the socks on roosters Right? Well done very cool

Ben_Rumson

Great shooting Nath... The spread on that squill looks like 2nd ball may be over kill :) The bad rep for the smooth bores accuracy comes from shooting paper cartridges stuffed in Muskets with no sights other than a bayonet lug. People have forgotten that most Dueling Pistols were smooth bores... Wha...
