Black powder rifle not firing?

My muzzleloader primer is not firing. i have cleaned the action thinking that it was stuck or what not and it still didnt help. i bought a new spring for it too and i still cant get the primers to go off. any suggestions?Black powder rifle not firing?
Make sure you have pin to primer contact. If not check to make sure bolt is snug against primer plug. If it's not, the firing pin isn't touching it. If it is making contact with the primer, the(pin) you may have a bad batch of primer's. Maybe contaminated from moisture, oil's or the like. If it's making a loud bang from the primer going off and not firing clean the flash hole out in the plug. It is imperative to keep muzzle loaders clean to performance standards. No matter if it's stainless or not. The breech plugs always rust even setting up. And i've found it better to keep antiseize grease on this area even when hunting. If it's none of the above have your pin checked for length, and bolt to breech plug distance.Black powder rifle not firing?
Your nipple could be dirty as heck. If the end is rusted or burnt up it may not be contacting the primer correctly, so if doesn't fire.





It also could be the the nipple has just worn down too, so the primer is not getting seated right on the nipple, so it never contacts the nipple when the hammer hit the primer. Thus, no BOOM!
One if you are using an old style, remove the nipple and clean it, check to see if the hammer has full travel, if you have set trigger make sure the hammer is falling hard enough. I backed off on the set trigger to much on one that I owner-ed and the hammer did not hit the cap hard enough to make it go off%26gt; I had to reset the hammer fall. Another gun I saw would not stay adjusted and would fail to make the cap go off. If your caps got wet the same thing will happen.

What type muzzle loader? Inline, external hammer what exactly? We need more info.





It may be the hammer isn't making contact with the primer or your not seating all the way on the nipple..if it has a nipple.
Make sure you're loading the gun correctly; that has often been a problem with black powder fire arms.
Did your primers get wet? What about too much bore paste or lube in the barrel getting in the way of the powder.

How do they make black powder?

You mix charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter in a bowl (need the formula?) with a wooden spoon and add enough water to it til it's a thick, doughy mass. You then take that thick paste and roll it out as thin as you can get it with a rolling pin or a wooden rod/dowel onto a long sheet of aluminum foil. Lay that out in the sun to dry. When it's dry and crumbly, you break it into bits and strain it through some window screen to get your grains the right size. Any left over dust/too fine grains, rewet it with water and start over again.How do they make black powder?
black powder is a mixture of saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur. gunpowder is a generic term which can refer to either black powder or smokeless powder. the two are not interchangeable by the way. most firearms are designed to use one or the other.How do they make black powder?
Now, now! Hands off that stuff!


Remember, remember, the 5th of November...
Black Powder was manufactured throughout history in the United States, by combining Potassium Nitrate (Salt Peter) , Ground Charcoal and Pulverized (Powdered) Sulfur..Historically it was made in a wooden drum or barrel that was mounted horizontally on a frame and had a wooden rod centered thru it so it would ';Tumble'; and spin with the turn of a hand crank or motor. The ingredients were added along with several pounds of small pure lead shot,(used to grind the gunpowder because lead didn't produce sparks or static electricity) then tumbled until all of the ingredients blended together and were uniform in texture. The longer the mixture tumbled...the finer the powder would be.





Black Powder is NOT just another name for Gunpowder.





Modern smokeless powders are made in a completely different manner..........
Randkl got it right, as the dry method does not make the grains you see in a jar. This is only for what is traditionally known as black powder, and there are several substitutes you can buy which are easier to clean up after a range session. Don't try making it yourself, as the amounts of each weren't given, and if you get the formula off, you might kill yourself.
By grinding and mixing saltpetre (potassium nitrate), charcoal, and sulphur. Soft metals such as brass are used for grinding to the required fineness as these do not give off sparks.

I could tell you ingredients but i don't know what you're going to do with it so there!

  • Black powder rifle CVA or Traditions ?

    I was looking at an entry level black powder rifle for deer hunting.


    It seems CVA and Traditions make a few models for about $200.


    Does anyone know which CVA or Traditions models are a good start for about $200 or less ? Thanks Black powder rifle CVA or Traditions ?
    Of the two, I've heard more good things about CVA rifles than I have Traditions rifles. And I've heard more complaints about Traditions Rifles than I have CVA Rifles (and CVA has been around much longer).





    I'd suggest you go with the CVA. Get a .54 caliber if you can. The .54 caliber is a great compromise between the velocity of the .56's and smaller and the heavier bullets of the .58 caliber and larger. If you can't get a .54, get a .50 Caliber.





    DocBlack powder rifle CVA or Traditions ?
    well I have a CVA .50 cal its just a traditional black powder rifle, I dont really know the model # but I got in a kit, and put it together myself, the kit was about $198.00 but that was about 5 years ago

    Wow, you could almost use this with most anything that you're breading, either meats, poultry, fish or a mixed shell fish dish, either sauteing or deep frying, I see this recipe as a beginning to almost any dish, really. This would be my first pan of a coating, next would be an egg wash and a breadcrumb coating, but starting with a seasoned flour bath only enhances the flavor of almost any dish! Happy Cooking to you!
    I know...if you mix those ingredients with red seedless grapes, evaporated milk, and a pie crust...you can make....well....actually....I have no clue....





    On second thought, can't you make meatloaf with those ingredients? I heart meatloaf....





    Good luck babe!
    Sounds like the coating for a lot of things, including fish, chicken, pork chops, and Chicken fried steak.
    Sounds like a great coating for fried chicken or fish.
    fried buffalo wings
    you could use that as a breading to fry stuff
