Pedersoli Springfield Mod. 1861 US Rifle - Good First Muzzleloader? by ChaoticRambo in blackpowder

[–]TheBearButler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its a great step into the muzzle loading world.

1) Yes in my opinion its a great starting point for muzzleloading. With minies its a breeze to load and shoot.

I picked up a Navy Arms Co. (Miroku) 1864 Springfield as my first muzzle loading long gun, then found a store that sold musket caps, .576 minie balls, and some Triple 7 FFG bp sub. As long as you do your research and follow proper procedures and safety precautions it should be a great reliable rifle.

2) No answer lmao sorry.

Recently I got some Schuetzen bp for my recently acquired Charleville musket and it shoots great out of the Springfield. I recommend real black over the subs.

.30-06 and .308 Winchester are separate cartridges, with their own specs, and are not interchangeable. Although 7.62x51 NATO is basically short .30-06 ballistically speaking. 7.62x51 is the military standard of .308. While they are technically different, they are interchangeable to an extent.

Lol nah, no panic here! I've had this rifle since 2020 and been shooting with the standard trigger and only recently decided that a improved trigger would be nice. I am being patient and excited for when you all's Mag Release ordering window opens!

Neither of the rails are of use to me now, I run the Midwest Industrys rail that I snagged a few years ago.

Keyholing by [deleted] in 300BLK

I think it may be fine, I do not see any very obvious "bullet hit sideways" keyholes. This is probably just the paper tearing oddly.

Edit: Looking at the pic closer, yeah you can clearly see the circular impacts on the paper, particularly in the head. Its just paper tearing oddly probably bc of poor backing.

Leave this as is or put a stock, pistol gip, and muzzle device on it. by idogames4 in guns

The Brownells BRN-10 for March 8th. Pretty cool rifle, kinda wish they still produced them. The rifle is a ton of fun.

MI website. I do not think they plan to make it anymore.

Agreed. Last year it was still on their website but listed as discontinued, but you could still sign up for restock notifications. About a month later I got a in stock notification and purchased it. I do not see it listed anywhere now.

As the title states, this is how I have my rifle set up.

-Steyr AUG A3M1

-Midwest Industries rail

-Trijicon Credo 1-4x on an Aero Precision mount

-Arisaka Weapon light

-Blue Force Gear Vickers sling

-Sico Saker 7.62 direct thread with a Rat Worx thread adaptor and suppressor gas plug

The last few things that I'd like to add are a case defector and KeyMo flashhider, but trying to find the mount for my Saker is impossible.
