BTW, where'd you get the tompions?

I cast about 20 rounds each for my 2 new muskets. For the Baker I used a Lee .620 mould and for the Bess I had a Jeff Tanner .730 mould.

I recommend "
British Military Firearms 1650 to 1850 By Howard Blackmore". There is one for sale on Ebay right now.

Thanks for the quick responses. How did y'all go about cleaning the flash hole? I'm about to start working with some straight pins and a
paper clip,
but if there's a better way, bring it on.
By the way, the 1/4" wrench doesn't really fit very well on the nipple base, does it? I tried it earlier, and it slipped before I had much force on
it. I'm afraid to try it again until I can move the base...

In the US the governmental year, prior to 1976, ran from July 1 through June 30, so presumably armoury date on a lock plate, ie 1864, would mean the
manufacture was between July 1, 1863 and June 30, 1864. The Windsor contract Enfields might have been dated using the British
fiscal year for uniformity with
British arms, or they may have been dated according the calender year, or even the company's...

Its a hooked breach system. There are 3 wedges and the upper band screw holding the barrel in. The barrel keys or wedges are the slotted type so they don't
come all the way out. The tang screw is just a wood screw. The
trigger guard is held by wood screws. The trigger is pinned as are the wedge plates and ramrod
ferules. I didn't try to remove anything that was pinned...turned out it wasn't ...

Good luck. I see where IMA now has a rifled version in 70 cal. From the pics these look to be a much closer copy of the original 1st pattern. Anyway when you
get it, the only thing I can think of as far as disassembly is to be very careful when removing the barrel from the
stock. Mine had several hairline cracks
along the barrel channel. If yours is like mine it should be a prime candidate for a ...
