Re: New Brass, .243 Cracked neck
The brass was not properly annealed before it was reduced from a straight wall case to a necked case. Send it back to Win and request a replacement.

It's a "wall hanger" grade musket. Lock plate screws are brass instead of steel. If the barrel is pitted on the outside, they will usually be the same condition inside. I would call it a...

Re: 44-40 rolling block rifle
It is not a Navy arms action since it does not have a brass trigger guard. It is a smokeless powder military action.

Re: Where Tob Buy Corn Cob Media
I read on another forum that someone was using rice. Just add the polishing compound and go for it. You can buy a 25# bag for about $10. Check out costco or sam's.
