Far as cleaning the lock plate, I scrub it with soap and water and a old toothbrush. Spray it down with B12 carb clearner. Same with the barrel, soon as I get done scrubbing it flush out all the junk, I spray a good bit up in there and let it dry before lubing.
Another idea for people, take the patch and tie it to a yard of twine, take the patch tied end and ram it down with your ram rod. Works great for springfield's. Then remove the ramrod, if it gets stuck grab the rope and it will pull the patch against the cone of the ramrod and help pull it free
I love how your mic sounds like it's INside the gun. That is an amazing effect! But here is a little constructive criticism-- you say that some guys are super picky about patch material, but you're not, and then you use a material that is so thick that it causes your ramrod to stick-- multiple times. Could it be that your patch material is too thick? Also, you sing the praises of the Sgt.'s Tool, but then go on to say that the screwdrivers are mostly useless, and then use the correct screwdriver to remove the lock screws. I certainly would not want to risk damaging those screws with the wrong screwdriver. Then, If the only reason then that you keep the Sgt's Tool is for the open-end nipple wrench, I would suggest you go to Lowe's and get the 4-way Sillcock Key, for $10. It works great with my Springfield 1861, and feels perfectly solid on the nipple. Even works when the lock is still in place, with hammer at full-cock. I would use a socket over an open end wrench every time. Anyway, great production values!
It was forced at first. Now its a more by choice thing. Trees and animals are more fun to talk to than people. Im like Snow-white except with older clothes and guns instead of midget old guys.
@@StudioTReenacting thank you for your time. It is odd that it got flagged for kids. You could probably challenge it. The system is automated but if you request a manual review they may fix it. Anyway, thanks for responding 👍
I just bought my first civil war musket. Original 1863 Springfield. $2000. Want to make sure I take care of it! Thanks for the video, very helpful
On a serious note, I like the new camera work and editing. Gives your videos a very professional feel.
Good demonstration video.
I have got to find one of those civil war era stainless steel kettles.
If you're looking for authenticity don't get stainless steel. Get tin or copper.

What can you use to clean up a slightly rusted lock plate? Never dull?
Like it. Thank you.
I use a piece of leather between the hammer and nipple put water in barrel and i use brass brush and i keep doing that till its clean

My great great grandad fought in the battle of Gettysburg he was Irish
Do you know the regiment? I play for the 69th PA Irish Volunteers based out of Philadelphia. I might be able to tell you what he was doing.
Saw you at Waterloo in my company!
What Cheer!! And what an incredible weekend
@@StudioTReenacting you doing the film in a couple weeks?
Actually, WD40 is made as a water displacement product--what you are using it for but it is is not really a lubricant. Great lesson.
Small tip for all you guys! Screw the ball extractor on the end of stuck ramrod, make it simple to remove. 👍
Do they make you live in the Woods? And if so omg for how long??

I live fire mine. It gets so filthy I usually pop the barrel out and take a shower with it. 20 patches later it's all nice and shiny.
WD 40 is the black powder shooter’s friend.😉
Ive tried this but cleaning jags work better. I never get a stuck ramrod anymore.
Bore butter & water all I use
I’m English as well
