    Uberti 1860 Army

    I also use the Ampco Bronze nipples, and combined with the #11 CCI Magnum caps they work excellent.

    Great Plains Hunter questions.

    Hey Bubba.50, As a left handed shooter looking at right-handed rifles, did you ever have a problem with the cheekpiece being on the wrong side of the stock? Did this interfere at all with actual shooting, as in not being comfortable. etc. Where I live it's hard to handle different models...

    Rifles for lefties

    Hey guys, don't mean to hijack this thread. Do any of you left handed shooters here find that the cheek piece on right handed rifles give you a problem or any discomfort when shooting? Just curious since as a fellow left hand shooter, I find that most muzzleloader rifles I want have the...

    Stuff for PH Enfield '53

    Greetings, Here's a question for shooters of first gen. Parker Hale Enfields. I recently acquired one of these fine rifles and trying to piece together a shooting kit. I'm looking for a Ball puller and worm to fit the ramrod on a Parker Hale P53 Enfield. Could anyone tell what the...

    Jonathan Browning Vs. Lyman Great Plains??

    I think the Browning mountain rifles were actually made in Japan?

    Penetration Tests

    Just food for thought...what if you tried the test again with real max combat loads? Like closer to 25 grains for the Navy and 30 for the Army .44? If we're doing comparisions with modern firearms for effectiveness why use light target loads?

    Stuff for PH Enfield '53

    Hi folks, Bear with me, very new to rifled-muskets, I need everything to start shooting a Parker Hale Enfield 3 bander. Where do you PH Enfield shooters get your cleaning and shooting accessories, also where's the best place for mail order. I checked out Winchester Sutler (great place) and...

    Cleaning Advice.....?

    Hi folks, I'm new to muzzleloading and my recent puchases was a Parker Hale 3 band Enfield 1853. Overall I'm very pleased, I was told it had only been fired a couple of times. Well, I decided to take a flash light and try and look down the bore. The bore itself is spotless and real shiny -...

    Safety Question for Enfield rifle...

    Howdy, Here's a question for all you experinced Civil war types. I just bought a used PH Enfield rifle and very happy with it. I found that when taking out the nipple it only takes finger pressure to unscrew the nipple. It's screwed all the way in as far as the threads and reasonably tight...

    Colts Dragoon?

    Exactly, math is one thing...but actual killing power in the field is another. Don't understimate the deadly round ball. :wink:

    Colts Dragoon?

    I don't care about energy numbers...I think a .45 ball from a fully loaded Dragoon has way more punch than a .38 Special. Maybe I just read to much of Elmer Keith's "Sixguns" :grin:

    Uberti 1860 wedge question

    So what is the official word with these Uberti tolerances? If the wedge on my Uberti 1860 Army is pushed past flush of the barrel (the little spring cannot hook or flip up) the entire action locks up. As long as its just flush, and I mean just, with the rounded edge inside the barrel a little...
