    Is T/C or CVA still making traditional rifles?

    No the .54 barrel will not fit a .50 gun, the outside barrel measurements are different.

    Civil War Revolver Bullets

    yesterday at our club shoot we were taking about the same thing,one of our members is a historian at Fort Benning , was saying the government both north and south only purchased cartridges loade with conicals. Molds would be used if in the field only as last resort.

    Hammer Push off. ideas?

    I had recently purchased for a good price a percuusion pistol, looked great and quote the lock works in all positions. Well the full cock notch and tip of the sear were worn, as yours sounds to be. I do a lot of repairs but do not touch sears or the notches. I sent mine to Longhunter Merchantile...

    Cleaning brass without harming wood

    This might sound crude but using ash from tobbaco products on a damp rag cleans brss really well, obtaining it from smokers is easy just dump in a coffe can the ashes. I have used it on many guns and it deffinatly does not damage wood finish, but does clean the brass very easily and quickly.

    CVA Hawken advice

    Don't feel bad, I bought a "looks never fired single shot pistol" and of couse all sales are final. The half cock notch was fine but full cock was not. 25.00 plus shipping to a B.P. gunsmith fixed it. So my bargin was not. Used gun byers beware. If you can not hold it in your hand and test/check...
