Was thinking the same thing, I have never heard of the "Budweiser Stool" technique for barrel removal. I am going to try it on my Jäeger.

I began shooting flintlocks in South Texas in the 50's...an original handed down from my Grandfather to father to me. My father after WWII took the bbl off, put it upside down on newspapers and gave it a light coating of military grade cosmoline. That rifle still has the original cosmoline 70+ years later on the bottom side, no rust, no effect on the wood..that's after shooting throughout the 50's and early 60's. 32 years ago I bought a custom flinter and did the same thin cosmoline coating on the underside. Today, it is still effective. 2 years ago I bought another custom flintlock...and applied a light coat of RP-342 military grade cosmoline from Amazon... on the underside of the bbl.; needless to say, an annual removal of the bbl from the stock is not necessary. Maybe just a checkup every 5-6 years, and that is not necessary. Just a thought.

I am new to black powder and flintlock in particular, this was exactly what I needed, having purchased a 45 cal. from a local rendezvous. Thank you for this video !

Here are some more options for those interested: Often overlooked but could have been used BITD (even if not documented-for those who concern themselves with such) would be shellac or lanolin. Lanolin (wool wax) was used on ships to protect metal fittings from salt and moisture. Shellac has been around for centuries, and works on metal or wood.

When I disassemble a lock or remove a barrel. I have found an empty egg carton helps me keep the small pieces organized. The egg carton has 12 "cups" to hold small pieces organized and in one place. I put one piece in each cup, in the order of disassembly. You can put them in either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When I am ready to reassemble, all the parts are in order. This helps me to know what goes where. Especially if I am called away for whatever reason. See if this idea works for you.

I have used RIG on the bores of my guns that don't see regular use. Hurricane Katrina flooded them for three or so weeks starting with about 17 feet of, the media's favorite description, toxic soup. It ate holes and worm channels in the outer steel and aluminum parts of all of my guns. I washed with soap and water and oiled them and put them in my new attic for years until I had time to grab one . So far, the rifles I have cleaned up all have bright bores. A Marlin 39A Golden Mountie .22, a Marlin 336 30-30 and a Savage Model 99 .308 look like hell on the outside but still have excellent bores and shoot like they did before. My Benelli M2 that I used for sporting clays and duck and dove hunting was used pretty often and was only cleaned inside and out with homemade Ed's Red with the bore and choke swabbed with canola oil. (it made the plastic fouling come right off).. It had a half dime size spot of rust near the screw in choke. The screw in choke and threads cleaned up OK. My short Hawken .50 bore, which had RIG, was good but the bore on my .58 Zouave with no Rig is pretty pitted. I don't know how RIG affects wood but I didn't slop it on anything. Thanks for a great video.

I find the same results though I’ve never had mine submerged. I was in Houston during Catrina and was only flooded once in the 20 years I lived on the gulf coast. 👍🏻

Made it to 11:30 so far. What I did for my gun when I first got it was to clean it as well as I could, dry it, and then coated the whole barrel with boiled linseed oil and let it dry. Not only does the oil stop the rusting process, but it leaves a waterproof, protective coating on the metal. A little wipe with some oil takes down any tackiness. Works like a champ!

Excellent advice.👍🏻

Hey Uncle Bob, you ol' "bearded garbonzo" you! You almost "blew a fuse" on my difibrulator taking your "slimjim" barrel & stock apart!!! Not for the "faint of heart"! One BIG SUGGESTION to advise your viewers is - when you take your barrel out of your stock, stay WELL AWAY from the stock with your barrel, lest you somehow "twirl" your barrel into the stock & break or damage it! Then you'd need the EMTs over to revive you!! As you mentioned too, so very important, keep your barrel pins "in order" (front to back of stock) & even which PIN END goes in first on what side of the stock! I'd advise your viewers to place these pins on some "sticky tape" to keep them from rolling around & getting lost! Your "slimjim" small caliber rifle reminds me why I love the big caliber heavier barrel rifles, especially Hawkens & Lancasters, as they are not "dainty"! You could use them as a "club" if need be! Then of course they wouldn't be "squirrel rifles"!!! I noticed too that your stock barrel channel wasn't stained & probably not sealed against moisture. I believe every "innards parts" of a wood stock should be "sealed" (& stained!) where there is naked wood! Maybe there would be some reason not to. Thanks for your most excellent "expertise"! I've been in love with black powder muzzleloaders ever since about 1968 (I'm 81 now). Nothing better than the great "schmell" of Hoppe's #9 & black powder!!! "Ach du lieber, mein schatz"!!!

That was a nifty trick getting the barrel out of the stock. Done learned me some today. Now when you say wax I assume you mean beeswax? Do you apply that cold or do you heat the barrel so it runs and flows over the surface and adheres real well? EDIT: and I’ve always used “Bore Butter” to protect from rust on my lock and barrel and it’s worked really well. But I do remove my barrel every time I clean after shooting and strip the old off and apply new every time. Though my guns have sat over a year (in a safe) without shooting and same thing, no rust upon cleaning)

Thanks for the videos. I have a .50 cal flintlock with a removable breech plug. I'm new to this black powder thing and I'm wondering if that unscrew-able breech plug reduces the reliability of firing the rifle. Seems to me it's a system that further removes the fire in the pan from the charge behind the projectile in the chamber. For whatever reason I'm about one for thirty in my attempts to fire my rifle and that don't seem quite up to reliable. The breech plug may not be at fault but I need an informed opinion. Thanks.

@BlackPowderTV

3 жыл бұрын

Hey George, You mean you have a hooked breech? Where you can remove your barrel without taking out the tang? There are basically two types of normal breech systems in flintlocks a two piece hooked breech or a standard screw in plug with the tang fixed to it. Neither should make a difference reliability wise. Are you getting plenty of sparks? Have someone video your lock sparking with their phone and watch it in slow motion to verify there are lots of sparks hitting the pan. Clean your flashole out with a prick or pipe cleaner before you start your session. Verify your flint is sharp. You may also have a patent breech which you will know by the touchhole being in the plug. If that's the case you really have to clean it well. Put a toothpick in the touchhole to plug it and then put some water in the barrel and blow it out through the touchhole with your ramrod and a tight patch. Use a dry patch on the ramrod as a piston to blow air in and out to dry it out and oil. Then use another dry patch to blow all the excess oil out so the channel is clear. This technique works well with a normal breech system as well to make sure it's clear.

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what kinds of wax are we talking about here? I see a suggestion for Johnsons paste wax, but auto wax, hard or cream type, for the bbl. or a wood wax like Butchers for floors, or bees wax? Would you recommend doing both sides, wood n bbl or just bbl? Because I have always just coated bbl with oil then wipe down the bbl channel in stock, but if I get forgetful, or don’t take one out for a bit, it makes for some work more than just a rub down, lol

@BlackPowderTV

That’s a good question. And it’s really up to you. You might buy a piece of cold rolled steel from Lowe’s and coat it with a few waxes and set it outside. Folks have tried about everything but I’ve heard of great results from Johnson’s Paste Wax and similar waxes. I’ve used beeswax. I’ve most always just used a very thin coat of rust inhibiting grease but I’m starting to run some tests. I’ll try Johnson’s, perhaps a Carnuba wax. I would think a pure wax that goes on easy and gets fairly hard would be ideal. Mainly I would use it on the bottom flats where you may not get to it but once a year and just oil or grease the exposed parts. 👍🏻 I wouldn’t coat any of the inlets. Extant originals weren’t done and the wood has held up just fine without any humidity controls.

I use a bees wax / linseed oil plaster mixture under my barrels Edit - you can make your own mixture with boiled linseed oil but most of the time companies use chemicals for quick drying so you have to be careful when making the paste.
