    Black powder is nasty on a weapon. I've read accounts of the CW where the front ranks would be shooting and the rear ranks would be cleaning rifles.

    When a front rank's rifle started clogging up, the soldier would pass it back to the rear for cleaning and the rear rank would pass up a clean rifle to use in the meantime.

    They also had a special minie ball that served as a scraper to scrape the crap out of the barrel. Every so many cartridges contained a scraper instead of a regular minie ball.

    I suspect you oil it every now and then. :techman:

    Keep the metal well oiled and conditioned and it'll probably last forever. WD-40 is your friend.

    IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! :fireworks

    My permit came in the mail today. That was fast! 3 weeks? I honestly didn't expect it for at least another month.

    No, I haven't done any of that.

    I'm sure this is not what the anti-gun weenies expected.

    1. You haven't shot anyone: gay.
    2. You haven't enforced any laws: gay.

    You're being really gay with that permit. Are you sure that you're not a liberal?

    Maybe I'm a closet liberal. :unsure:

    No. I'm pretty sure I'm not. I would have shot myself by now.
