On a whim, I bought a used Thompson Center White Mountain carbine in .50cal from my local forums B/S/T ads. Other than a little crustiness around the nipple (in the "pan", not on the nipple itself, the owner put a new nipple on there for me) it's beautiful. It's already got a nice tang-mounted aperture sight and I took off the scope mount as I plan to shoot it au natural (the rifle, not me!)..... But now I am gobsmacked by exactly which bits I need now!
Here's my shopping list so far:
fffg powder (I think).
.490 lead balls
Pre-lubricated patches
Bullet starter
Powder flask
Powder measure
Cleaning materials
Ideally I want wood and brass rather than polymer, as I'm aiming for a setup that fits in a (yet to be acquired) possibles bag and matches the tone of the rifle. Any recommendations for brands/items/things I've missed would be great!
