Got Lock Tight in there for now until I get some.
Got Lock Tight in there for now until I get some.
Helpful info, everyone:
So far no one has answered my question about the two extra threads that seem to obstruct the right side of the flash hole below the nipple.
CW era caps have been described as both hotter and maybe a lot more corrosive/erosive via mercury. Could it be that the extra threads were quicky eroded? Just a wild guess.
Bruce and PJ:
Can you please add anything, given all the originals you have examined?
Thanks.
Regards,
Kevin Tinny
It relates back to Cotton Mather's edict of 1679, "Where one thread completith yon fire lock, makith two. A skein in brine makith ye powder of Satan supine." You know Cotton Mather and his old man Increase are buried on top of each other.

Well........I didn't put the JB that deep in the nipple hole. You fill the screw hole and run the screw back in it then use a toothpick to pack it down in the nipple hole to about where the nipple ends up bottoming out. When dry good a couple hours late I use a dremil and dental bit to shape the JB like a lil curved ramp right into the flash channel and yer done.

Don't believe everything you see in print Pat.
Actually spent a good hour shaping the hole.
My wife told me not to put that post on here -- she said everyone will think you're a dumb ass.
I told her it's too late.

Yeah looking forward to Brierfield. Will be nice to not have two or three misfires before the first round (sort of) goes off.
