New gun new gun new gun.....
Been after one for years! Can you guess what it is?
Shot one at 30yds just missed the target, adjusted the sight and shot two was on!
Shot three got a 45yd rabbit, shot four missed a ten yard rabbits head and five got another at 12yds.
All within 24 hours ownership!
All I did to the gun was lift the barrel off the lock!

Re: New gun new gun new gun.....
Parker Hale? Smooth bore? I see it does have a rear sight though. Possibly to use when shooting round ball.

Re: New gun new gun new gun.....
Nice gun , I m thinking on getting a second Parker Hale musketoon and turn it into a carbine. I d have the barrel teamed smooth and bobbed back to 20 inches and fit it with a swivel ramrod. Would make a nest bunny gun

Smoothbore caliber .62.
Well I guess I should have read further down.. But a caliber .58 is just as good.

I wish my fat little cow dogs were as cool as Tia, NAth Good looking boomstick too ! Are the smoothbores and other muzzleloaders regulated as tightly for you as the centerfires, regarding how many you can own and all that?

Re: New gun new gun new gun.....
A .58 smooth bore Buffalo Hunter was my first muzzle loader, I swapped a 20 gauge O/U for it.The seller nearly snatched my arm off but I really wanted that front loader...
If I was too generous with the powder and shot the hammer would go back to half cock when fired . .

Excess pressure sometimes will blow back through the nipple (before the projectile exits the bbl, forcing the hammer back to either half or full cock, depending.Mescalero wrote:game keeper,

To stop hot gasses getting past and through the patch fibres and upsetting the ball at the muzzle I put three leather wads cut from welders gloves with a punch I made.
These are then soaked in olive oil, on firing the huge compression forces the oil on the bore of which keeps the BP fouling soft for following loadings.

Beautiful gun, Nath. That is nice checkering!

That load would bring down big game! Have you tried shot in it for the bunnies? Very handy rifle there.
