  1. If its NIB, never been use in a match nor test fired (except from factory), I think it's fair price for what he paid for it. IMO.
  2. I can tell that I need to fill my casefeeder when the sound of the tumbling brass becomes more diminished. I don't need to use any mirrors and I don't count how much brass I have in the hopper. Just me.
  3. If they ask, just tell them it's tool parts.
  4. Because.. He said so. 😊
  5. THIS. A good enough reason not to do it. Besides, what's wrong with the white or gray smoke produced by subs and real BP (with flame)? A nice loud BOOM is good enough for a salute.
  6. A great pard. Shot with him for many years at Sandusky County Regulators. RIP dear friend. He will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends. Prayers up.
  7. Gee, and I thought it was my wife's cooking that made me gain weight.😂
  8. I second that and highly recommend buying from Scarlett ❤️. APP website for FYI only.
  9. There's a lot of info and people's experience with APP been said here. I don't use APP anymore but do use real Black powder, just wanted to have that FIRE and SMOKE that comes with real BP compared to a lot more smoke that comes with APP. To each it's own. OR you can go to their website and look around. Just type in American Pioneer Powder.
  10. Personally, I am happy the way clubs do their own thing. However, I don't like is when their stages or range is facing east. Has anyone ever shot a stage/s and the bright Sun is staring at you. 😎
  11. Besides, you can customize your shotshell. I still load smokeless and BP shotshells and my smokeless shells has less recoil than the Winchester LRLN factory shells. BP shells is a different story.
  12. If the barrel has rifling, it could be a Flintlock rifled carbine made by Henry Nock , 1800 (c). Or a replica thereof. Just my guess.
  13. I've had three of this molded ear plugs made in my lifetime, they are good but they only lasted on the average about 3-5 years. Each pair hardened over time and didn't fit well anymore so had to dispose of it. Not cheap. So went back to regular foam ear plugs and works for me just as well (a lot cheaper). But as others have said there are places or vendors at the shoot that can make them for you, Scarlett is one of the vendors than can make them for you and you can find her at some major matches. Check her website for their match schedules.
  14. Congrats to all the Ohio State Champions and winners. I've always enjoyed my time with the Miami Valley Cowboys and the Ohio State when I lived in Ohio. MGM and the crew always put on a great shoot and agreed that this is one of the best shoot. As everyone have said this shoot is always a fun time. Will make it up there again sometime and shoot with the pard and pardettes. Again, Congrats to all the winners.
  15. All of the aftermarket pin works great, but they will break sooner or later. Even if you use dummy round or snap caps during practice, it will break but the question is WHEN. A lot of stress is put on the head of the firing pin. Been there and done that. I broke my FP same as yours. To answer your question, slixpin, Pioneer gun works, Shotgun Boggie are all good and will work. They last a little bit longer than factory FP. Buy extra to keep in hand just in case.
  16. There are some conflicting articles about Bullseye being use in 12 ga. shotshells as to why and why not use Bullseye. There are articles in other firearm forums that are worth reading to give info in regards to using the powder. At one time Lyman published a manual that included loading for Bullseye for 12 ga but now the newer Lyman edition don't publish it anymore. I am guessing is that it has to do something with the current wads produced today compared to wads available back years then. Another guess is how much powder to load for the shell to function adequately. Some old time users of the powder swear it has worked for them for years and some said it was too hot of a load. I guess YMMV. Sorry this may not answer your question but at least it's something to look into. I don't use Bullseye but I use Red Dot for all my reloads. You can browse the internet and find some loading data for this powder or maybe someone on this wire forum might have a loading data available. Load at your own risk and good luck. Hope you find what you're looking for. Be safe.
