Can you use modern cleaning items to clean it, or is the specialized tools that would have been used during that period?

I only use material from that period. I don’t know any musket owner who would degrade her musket by using anything produced before 1820.

Now I need to find the poem that I wrote to Whammy back in 1996.

Kyshia · 2018-10-23T00:05:31.807Z

. . . It might be a while. I don’t know what box it’s in.

Please add that to my poetry thread. I love the crossover appeal.

Kyshia · 2018-10-23T00:22:35.480Z

A thread full of musket poems and dog poems might get a little cartoony, which can’t be bad.

Beer helps me find things. Off to the store.

It would actually be easier to create a smart arrow or crossbow bolt.

Wrong crossbow bolts don’t have brains.

The best part about muskets is that we can ban all types of assault rifle ammo since musket balls are a different caliber.

Whammy with Donuts

My best companion, it’s true, first and last,
Upon my search of lands, a-near, afar,
Is Whammy–Blam!–Kablammy, smoke and blast!
Our love policemen’s tickets cannot mar.

At Krispy Kreme, the music fills my car,
A donut shop beside a vacant field,
My musket waits, its color black as tar.
My pal, my pet, my crutch, and yes, my shield.

My Whammy likes to shoot until they yield,
Who hide all night in Scooter Fartham’s barn,
It’s true, my lifetime long I choose to yield
My musket, turning critters into yarn.

Kablammy rules my town! And without fail,
Someday police will send us off to jail.

Don’t try to play firearms expert when you’re not.

Word to look up: sabot.

I have fired several calibers of bullet from my 50cal Muzzle loader, but never a 50cal bullet…

Musket balls are easy to make.

If I owned a musket
I’d musket in the morning
I’d musket in the evening
All over this land
I’d musket out danger
I’d musket out a warning
I’d musket out love between
My brothers and my sisters, ah-ah
All over this land

You brought a tear to my eye. Allow me to give you a

If I were a musket
blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam
all day long i’d shoot what i could get
if I were a musket
terrify the tourists
blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam

To the tune of this song:

Kyshia · 2018-10-29T03:15:04.129Z

That’s terrifying.

That’s terrifying.

Muskets are terrifying. Their accuracy is not good.

And they can blow up if you don’t seat the ball tightly against the powder.

I didn’t know that.
