    double barrel or a rifle

    I am eventually going to get me one of two guns. either the Pedersoli double barrel shotgun or the Pedersoli rocky mountain Hawken. the rmh can be had for 800 to 900 when on sale and the double barrel is priced at 899 but I bet it will go on sale also. I will eventually get both but it will be...

    New show Iron and Fire

    I have watched all 6 episodes and have enjoyed them all. I have found myself actually waiting for it to come on as I am tinkering in the garage or playing on the computer. I am happy that the show is on the air and I am happy to see a nice gentle guy as the star as there are too many loud...

    New show Iron and Fire

    I just seen the show for the first time online and I enjoyed it. The producers may have botched up the show but the guy who made the gun has a lot of talent. It is nice to see somebody young who is hard working and has a craft. Its amazing how we have all these great gun builders here who know...

    Traditions Kit gun at Cabela's

    But what is the point of adding a section of wood to the barrel if it is not connected to the back half?

    Pedersoli Percussion Hawken Target Rifle

    My son owns a Pedersoli Traditional Hawken but it has modern back sights. I believe Pedersoli must be changing stuff on their line up. It use to be Traditional Hawken (with modern back sight) and Hunter Hawken but now they have added Target to Traditional and gave them buckhorn back sights...

    Lathe experts ?

    Just be sure to indicate it in really good and get the speeds and feed correct. High Carbon Steel barrel that is almost 1 inch in diameter being cut with a High Speed Steel cutter should be turning about 240 sfm (surface feet a minute)which is 1048 for your spindle speed. You will have to...

    Starting over with the Hawken

    Has anybody ever used PAM to lube their patches? Can I lay out about 200 patches on a table and just make a couple of quick sprays over them and be done. I have not tried it, has anybody here done it?

    extra capped cylinder

    I guess I was misinformed. The Pony Express Rider did carry a revolver. It says...... The mochila could hold 20 pounds of mail along with the 20 pounds of material carried on the horse. Included in that 20 pounds were a water sack, a Bible, a horn for alerting the relay station master to...

    extra capped cylinder

    I was under the impression that Pony Express Riders did not carry guns as they wanted to ride as fast and lite as they could. Am I wrong on this matter as I may be.

    Mississippi Rifle ammo.

    What should the diameter of the minie ball be? Can it be hard cast lead or does it have to be pure lead? The base of the minie ball is suppose to expand upon ignition of the powder, is that correct? Do they make a minie ball casting die with a flat nose bullet?

    Mississippi Rifle ammo.

    The Mississippi rifle was introduced in .54cal from what I have learned but it was bored to .58cal to use the minie ball. So are modern made .58cal Mississippi rifles only able to use minie balls or can they use standard ball and patch? Show size ball would they use if they use ball and patch...
