HOW TO CLEAN YOUR MUSKET.
MUSKET CLEANING VIDEO
SPEED LOADERS
In an effort to simplify the current speed loader "situation", we are now offering speed loaders for the 3 most popular types of powder cans. Here we have the old standard (far right) for those of you who still have some of the tin Goex cans laying around. My personal favorite. The new black plastic top for the lately more often seen plastic Goex "cans" (far left) and this funny blue cap that fits some other kind of powder. I'm told it's popular. Now you can get the exact loader you need.
For those of you who are not familier with the "speed loader", it just screws right on top of your powder can. Then just like a brass powder flask it measures out the exact dose of powder every time (60 grain). Then you just pour that into your paper tubes and fold them to close. Super labor saving device!

1855 MUSKET WRENCH
This is the 1855 musket wrench. It is an open end wrench for removing musket nipples (cones) and 3 screw drivers. It is blued as per the original and the metal is very well tempered. You can really use it, it won't bend in your hand like some of the pieces of junk out there that are being passed off for tools.
To my knowledge this wrench has never before been reproduced.
Painstakingly made to be an exact copy of the original.

1863 SPRINGFIELD MUSKET WRENCH, BLACK FINISH
A super repro of the Springfield musket wrench. It's tough as nails and finished in a dark blue / black similar to a heavy coat of Japanning or bluing. It fits any musket with your standard Enfield / Springfield type nipple. I have never broke one of these and that's saying something! However I would not use any open end type wrench to free a nipple that's frozen. remember to back your nipple out and put a drop of oil on the threads every time you clean your musket.

1841 /1842 STYLE US MUSKET TOOL
Here's one you've been waiting for. A great repro of an 1841 /1842 style musket wrench. The photo to the left shows the wrench open and closed. The photo on the right shows our wrench next to an original dug in the union "Camp Stanley" just south of Murfreesboro, TN. They work on any Enfield or Springfield musket. It was first issued with the Mississippi rifle. It has a socket style wrench on one end to remove your muskets nipple (cone) without slipping and rounding it off, and 2 different size screw drivers on the other. Everything you need to field strip your musket. Take a look at any old collection of civil war relics dug from the field and you'll see lots of this style wrench. But if you've been looking for an original for your kit you already know they're extremely hard to find in non dug condition and if you are lucky enough to find one the price starts at $60. I looked for almost a year to find the one this one is copied from. I don't know of anyone else who has these in a repro and I only had 500 made. They'll be gone before the year's out so don't wait! Grab a couple of these babies now before there gone!

T HANDLED MUSKET NIPPLE WRENCH
Finally back in stock, a new sliding T handle musket nipple wrench. It's a tough socket type wrench that no musket owner can do with out for long. The first time your cone clogs up you'll know what I mean. It fits almost any musket. The only thing I have found that it won't fit is the Euroarms 1855 US musket with Maynard type primer and Euroarms C.S. Richmond. It fits the Armisport version of both these guns just fine. This is a great inexpensive wrench you can throw in your pack for when you have a frozen nipple. The socket type wrench allows you to use greater force without worrying about rounding the corners of your nipple and busting your knuckles. remember, this wrench is very strong but it is possible to break them if you apply too much force. How much pressure to apply is your call. We do not replace busted wrenches. If by some chance you have a rifle that it wont fit just send the wrench back for a refund.

Nipple wrench for pistols, sliding T handle fits most nipples that take a #10 or #11 cap. WARNING!! You cannot remove frozen nipples with this or any other nipple wrench. If it will not back out with moderate pressure

Although both of these pistol nipple wrenches are tough, because of their small size they can be broken if you put too much pressure on them. Remember, we don't replace busted wrenches!
At long last a reproduction of the correct Enfield Nipple Protector Chain. The brass tear drop design is a perfect match for the original.
If you'll look to the photo that is a complete original ENP on top.
The piece of chain in the middle was dug at camp Stanley in Murfreesboro. This is the actual piece of chain we copied.
The chain on the bottom is our new reproduction. Not bad if I do say so myself. The complete original has 6 links of chain but were going to send you 7 links to give you just a little bit of extra length. It makes it easier to put the protector on. If you prefer to use 6 links just slip the extra link right off. No tools required.

ENGLISH STYLE NIPPLE PROTECTOR
SNAP CAP
For those of you who are wondering that is an 1862 Barnett carbine, that's why there is no sling loop on the trigger guard.
SNAP CAP. The snap cap is not just a nipple protector but is a very important tool when training infantrymen how to "squeeze" a trigger and not to "pull" or "jerk" the trigger. This device allows you to, while training the recruit, to dry fire the musket without causing harm to the nipple. Sorry, the Brits did not call it a cone. The Cone was part of the nipple. In the pre war British manuals the nipple is comprised of the Cone, square, shoulder, touch hole. The US War Dept. did refer to the nipple as a cone. So the use of either term would be correct. We have been working on this one for a looooong time. You may recall that we started offering the correct tear drop style chain and iron split rings several years ago. Well we have finally been able to make all the components. We are now assembling them here in our shop because we can't get anyone else to touch them. They are a pain to make! But your worth it right? Sure you are, why else would we do this? Anyway here it is, hope you like it. It's better than any other reproduction of this item because there is no other reproduction of this item. If your rifle ran the blockade this is the nip. pro. it would have came with. In the past if you wanted to make your own English style nipple protector, you had to buy the original iron rings for $14.00 or more, then buy and assemble all the other parts. Now we can offer you the complete Nipple Protector for only $14.95

The nipple protector now comes with the correct enfield chain as well as the correct iron split ring. The protective cap is the same as in the photo. The split ring fits onto the lower sling loop of your rifle making it almost impossible to mis-place.

BALLISTOL

BALLISTOL WIPES
Ballistol multi-purpose wipes, lubricates, penetrates, cleans, protects, preserves firearms, leather, knives, wood, tools, marine camping and fishing equipment. That's what it says on the package but here's what I say about Ballistol. Everyone I know who deals in firearms for a living uses this product. You can wipe your rifle down and put it away for 6 months and not even have to think about it. It is simply the best. This new "single serving" wipe is great. Just put one in your haversack and it will last the whole event. Everyone will be asking, "Can I use that when your through?" I keep them in my glove box, at the house, shop and barn. They really are great for everything you want to protect from the elements. If you want to keep you weapons looking like new this is the only product you'll ever need.

CLEANING KIT FOR .58 CAL. MUSKETS
This cleaning kit is made up of the same high quality steel 4 rod set as above but it does not include the worm, the nipple wrench, nipple pick or the oil rags. If you already own that stuff there is really no need to buy it again now is there.
What it does have is 4 high quality steel rods that screw together and make a cleaning rod long enough to fit any .58 cal. musket. It has a turned and varnished dark wooden handle on one end for ease of use and it comes with one brass bore brush. One nylon bore brush and a cotton bore swab that screw onto the steel rod on other end.
And it comes with a handy little cotton draw string bag so you don't look like those farbs who drag out their cleaning kit in camp that is still in the plastic container!
Jag not included.

.44 CAL. CLEANING KIT
Well just like always when I can't find something to suite me I just design my own. I have tore up, broke and or otherwise mutilated countless pistol cleaning kits over the years. They have all been just light in the britches to do the job for any length of time. The last time I got a bore brush stuck in mid-barrel, the handle striped out and I had to find a dowel rod to drive the brush out. That was the straw! After a couple of minutes of colorful language I ask myself, "Why doesn't someone make a pistol cleaning kit that is as tuff as our musket cleaning kit?". LIGHT BULB! I can do that and here it is. I'm not saying you can't tear it up but you are going to have to work at it.
You get everything you see in the photo. Just for good measure all of your musket cleaning tools will fit on this rod as well.
This kit will work just fine on your 1911 .45 cal. too!

OIL CLOTH GUN COVER
Here is a great little item that will protect your new gun in all weather fair or foul. It's a gun sock made of heavy duty oil cloth with a cotton tie closer. It is large enough to fit any musket from any time period or it is easily shortened to fit the smallest carbine. If you want to keep that bright finish on your musket without all that rubbing this is the way to go. Just clean and oil your musket then slip it into the oil cloth cover and tie it tight. It will be just as bright when you take it out as it was when you cleaned it. Regardless of whether it was left in your damp tent overnight or in your closet for 6 months.

ADJUSTABLE BRASS POWDER MEASURER
Adjustable from 0 to 120 grains with a funnel that swivels 180 degrees to make pouring easier. If you're a serious shooter, this is an indispensable tool. Every musket has a sweet spot. That exact measure of powder where it shoots the best. You know that place where you can shoot a group of five shots that you can cover all five holes with a silver dollar. Well it takes three things to find it. A good eye, a good rest and a good powder measurer. I can't help you with the eye or the rest but I got plenty of the measurers.
