Hi Glen, yes he did change the flint, when i asked him about the "flint out" he did'nt know what i was talking about and neither did i, i've never bothered with flintlocks so don't know the terminology. Thanks for the reply, regards KB.

Hi Rick,thanks for that ,googled but could'nt find anything specific about reverse case hardening ..the guy has decided to go with reheating and allowing the part to cool in it's own time, should be ok but not end of world if it fails. When i googled heat trreatment my brain started to hurt, there's...

Hi,i know this is way of topic but could someone please help. A friend of mine shoots a flint lock and he case hardened the piece of mild steel that acts with the flint to cause the sparks, result... no sparks. Does anybody know if re-heating the part and allowing it to cool will reverse the hardeni...

Point taken, never thought of the consequenses. Regards KB.

Hi, Midway sells blemished bullets if thats the same thing.KB.

K22, i wouldlike to use my 17 fireball for foxes in the uk. do you have any suggestions for bullet weights or speeds. Thanks in advance,KenB.

Varminter, you just count their legs and devide by 4. Regards KB.

Hi all, sounds like it might be a good idea if some enterprising person could do a few copies and distribute them for a small fee. Just a thought. Regards KB.

Silverfox, thanks for that. Up to now i've only used hornady 32g factory loads but i'm just getting the tackle and components together to try reloading ( all down to joining this excellent forum) but hav'nt sourced auy bullet heads yet. I'm not bothered about hides as there is no market for them her...

Hi Silverfox, you say you think the 39g is not best for fox! What would you recommend? Fox where i live are around 10 to 15 lbs, would like a bullet to get inside and froth em up but not exit. Do all small fast bullets get thwarted by a bone on the way in? thanks KB.

Rick, very nicely put,you are a very lucky nation but once the errosion starts who knows where it will end! KB.

Brilliant Silverfox......there you go Rick, you said you felt for me when i said if i fired one shot per outing it had been a good day, sf sure had a good one shot day that day.

Thanks Hawkeye Joe, that was the article that prompted me to ask about free recoil, very interesting reading.cheers KB.

Hello there Kon, yes i am in UK. just north of Manchester. My f.a.c. allows me to buy expanding ammo. but not bullet heads by post. This is what midwayuk said after cancelling my order.........We can not post expanding bullet heads ie. polymer tipped ( with the exeption of Hornady A max ) direct to ...
