This the last one - I am out of parts... in fact I am still missing the wedge plates for this one... but they are coming...

This is 54 cal and I am going to try to shoot PRB's from it. Last weekend I was shooting in the rock pit and a couple of folks from a local traditional ML club were camped next to the pit. I asked them if it would be alright with them if I sighted in an ML... well to make a long story short and after shooting their flintlocks - really old ones... we got to talking about shooting. They shoot gongs quite often at different ML gatherings around this area... well I am always up for shooting so now I gonna give it a try, either using this 54 or my Lyman TR 54. I know the 1/48 will a limiting factor but it will be fun to try...

Jeez Mike, at least hide the receipts!!!! Terry's gunna kill ya.

There really are not a lot - it from a collection of parts over time.. but it is my last barrel & stock.... that gives me 2 50's and 2 54's - what for i am not sure...

I know the feeling.. but you can never have too many rifles. That 1-48 twist with a patched ball will surprise you. I know a lot of people do not like that twist for roundball, but they are a lot more accurate then most people can even shoot.

Just buy some more parts.....Then it does'nt need to be your last one.

Dave, where do I start???

I have a box of Speer .530 round balls and Wal-Mart had some RS for $16... I do have the patches, forgot what thickness they are out in the truck... But what powder charge would you look at???

I found 2 Renegades for $200 each today. What should I look for, besides the cast iron skillet?

I'm talking about the receipts in the photo. Just get rid of them!!!

90 grains of Pyrodex RS and a patched roundball normally is their load. Although I have one that likes 100 grains of powder. Also you can shoot loose Triple Se7en out of them with good results as well. I never had an ignition problem shooting it.

The bore and the nipple area will tell you a lot about the gun.... If they will let you run a patch and a jag down the barrel - see what it feels like.. What caliber? $200 not bad if they is on good condition...

Oh you saw those sportsman's reciepts - Terry has not seen those yet - so you are right btter put em away... but I jist bought her a new battery for her cell phone - that otta account for supthen.
