    This is my " Brown Bess" flintlock musket. It is a sea pattern gun,so it would have been on board a sailing ship. I shoot with it now and again,it's a fun way to tempt non gun people into trying a gun for the first time. This one dates from 1820

    Rifling on the left is "Micro groove" the right is regular cut rifling. They say the best barrel length for accuracy in a .22 is between 14 and 16" and the entire powder charge is combusted after about 8".Curiously most .22 target ammo exits the muzzle of a pistol at subsonic speeds. Years ago...

    How often do you clean the bore on your .22? I have been shooting 30 years and can't remember cleaning a single bore.You probably know this but .22 bullets are externally lubricated which negates the need for cleaning by and large.

    I spoke with my Father this evening. He shot a competition over the weekend,shot 107 straight ( first barrel) 13 second barrel ,thats out of 120 targets so he didnt drop a single clay. But that performance didn't even see him on the podium out of 150 shooters. He is 77 years of age.

    With a weapon that throws a pattern the size of a dustbin lid. At a target that presents on demand. Most of my pistol shooting is done one handed.The target presents itself for 5 seconds,you must raise the gun shoot and lower it before the target rotates back.Its called duel,you can probably...

    I have to wonder about the real world effectiveness of sub-compact pistols? I have shot Caniks before and they were ok if you like that sort of thing.. However strolling around with a gun like the one pictured makes me wonder how long it would take to get it into action from a pocket unless your...

    Thank you. No that is standing unsupported. Good idea! Keeping your reloading gear in the house is smart. Primers and powder dont like big tempreature variations.

    That is the first time I have seen one of those Lee seat/loading devices in real life.How are you liking it? I have usually just bolted my press to a heavy plank and then held it down with C clamps to a suitable surface.

    Yes I can, however I was quoted $200 postage for a single package of 100 cases! I quite like the 44/40 round, I have a nice 1892 back home chambered in that cartrige. I also bought a 4 gauge muzzle loading shotgun because " there is no killing like over killing-".

    I bought this Winchester 1873 chambered in 44/40 Winchester. It was made in 1880 therefore I dont need a licence in Norway. I just have to find some brass now, thats proving a bit tough.
