I find that when I mill my components 75/15/10 the lead balls get caked with powder to a very hard consistancy. Any idea whats causing this?
Scale up production with a 3 hole punch
Excellent video!
Thank you!
Great work!
@@urbanlumberjack Thank ya!
Can you fix a bayonet to this weapon? A nice looking piece.
Great vid babe! Please keep it real, I lost my son too weed!
@@nigelkavanagh2048 ???
coper sheeting would be the thing to use.
it is sad that this technique has to be used to come up with a musket cap. I shoot N-SSA and the number of caps a shooter uses in competition is considerable. RWS, which is what we use to use when you can get them are getting hard to find. It is a shame some manufacturer here in the US would not produce these caps. There is a large market for them. My 2 cents worth, great video though.
How long did it take for the Rifle Shoppe to get your order to you?
I love your choice of music as well as your lines of biblical teaching at the end of each video. God has put you here to light the path that all men should follow. May he bless and keep you until he comes again.
Just got the same feeling I got when I saw my first Steve1989MREInfo video. Bravo, sir!👍
@@Dan___R4 Hey thank you!
English patterns is the cokacola of knives. French is Pepsi and the Dutch is Rc cola which we all know is vastly superior🫡
Hello sr, i know im alil late in the future on this video😆 but i was wondering if the cap size is a 209?
@@breakerprepper This size is a # 10/11
@HoffmanReproductions oh ok, thank you🙏 I really appreciate on the response.
@ Welcome!
Not to mention that frontier men - settlers, soldiers, trappers and explorers etc probably all had to travel light through rough terrain and to escape danger quickly also I’m sure that steel was more valuable and harder to mass produce pre Industrial Revolution
Hello, very nice musket and very nice job, it looks 100% like original! I live in Europe, I am a collector black powder weapons, I have two originals Dutch muskets, one model 1710 and other from 1686 (similar to model 1710, differs in minor details)
@@tolo3264 Thank you! Very cool!
I dry the granules on flame stove 😂 10 mins and its done
I prefer only adding water works great for my bp rockets ❤
Great video and breakdown of the unit!
@@Foxyfreedom Thank you!
Thank you for this valuable information, great video.I have a question: Can xanthan gum, or guar gum powder be used as a thickening agent?? Greetings from Greece
@@johnspn1064 Thank you! Not sure on that one. If you corn or press your powder, the thickening agent is not necessary.
I’m glad you primed after loading. I’ve loaded per regs for the time but I am rare to load a primed gun, been atleast a year since I’ve done it and never was comfortable with it
I have observed while moving in jungle I used to put hammer of the gun the nozzle but wishes to fire and when hammer was pulled up the gun was firing is it because of this type of capes you shown in video please com.ent
Better than lead is brass.Lead make powder slowly
@@cristianpopescu78 Yep, that is what I use too now a days.
Boy that sure does have a quick lock on it there was no delay
The Rifle shop isnt that where Bobby Hoyt makes his barrels ?
No, he is out of PA. TRS. Is in Oklahoma.
What caliber, .75 or .80?
.75
Where did you get your cartridge box? Also could you do a video on those in the future and the different types from the time period. I love your videos, thanks!
Made this one myself. Sure, we can do that! Thank you!
Nice video! How else can you dry potassium nitrate and coal before grinding?
Take a flat brick / stone, heat it to 90⁰-100⁰, put the stuff on in dry place.This is my way
@@cristianpopescu78 thank you for your reply I’ll try
What colour of dye what colour of stain dye is on the dirk
@@owenmccallum6076 Chromium trioxide with walnut haul stain over top. 5 coats of tru oil to finish.

@@steveww1507 Thank you!
Good looking good shooting gun
what about drying potassium nitrate in the oven for example?
@@ФёдорЗародышев-т2ц Yes, that works good.
what do you think about static electricity when using glass balls in ball mill?
@@ФёдорЗародышев-т2ц Some say it is risky. I use solid bass balls now a days.
Buy it cheap and stack it deep.
A functional work of art! Well done sir!
@@savage11smw33 Thank you!
