    Colt front sight installation

    Before I go fooling around with removing the front sight on my 1851 Navy in order to put in a higher one, I thought I had best ask around to see if anybody knows how the sight is held in place. Is it a screw-in, or staked in place, or what? What is the approved method of removing and installing...

    hitting high

    Lots of cap 'n ball revolvers hit high, and folks talk of higher front sights to compensate. But lowering the rear sight does the same thing. Have any of you other shooters ground down the hammer extension/sight of your Colt's revolvers to get them to hit where you aim?

    Pheasant hunting

    I finally took my SXS shotgun out after pheasants. My gun is a Navy Arms shotgun with IC and Modified jug chokes. My loading was 1 1/4 oz. either 5 or 6 lead shot and 3 3/4 drams of 1F Goex powder using 2 overpowder 1/8" cards and 1 overshot card of the same material (a VM Starr load). Hunting...

    Tests of choked barrels

    I decided to have one of my shotguns jug choked in order to be more deadly to South Dakota pheasants (cylinder has not been doing the job on these birds :( ). Mr. Mike Orlen did this work for me, and said that he could cut a Mod/Imp Cyl combination very safely. I find that he also polished the...

    Bear grease!

    I had a pleasant surprise over the weekend- a friend who had shot a black bear presented me with about a liter of bear grease he had rendered. :) So now I can try the old original; if I had any hair I could use it to grease that too! I have been cautioned that the grease has a distinct aroma. I...

    Ruger Old Army

    The weather turned nice here so I hit the range with some handguns. The BP revolver I took is my Old Army. Last year ignition was problematic, so I had ordered a set of Treso nipples to replace the factory items. Now the ignition is 100% so far so that fix seems to have worked well :) . Next up...

    plastic shot cups

    For those of you who might have tried plastic shot cups in smoothbores I have a question: Has your barrel developed plastic fouling, and if so have you found that card overpowder wads protect the barrel from this fouling? Thanks

    Forum address decoration

    I see on my computer that when the Forum address is typed in, nowadays a tommyhawk appears in front of it! Maybe this has been happening for awhile and I did not notice it, but it is a nice little addition I think. :bow:

    Argh!

    My Christmas purchase: a Beretta Tricentennial O/U muzzleloading 12 gauge. I was buffing out the lower barrel with a brass brush on a cleaning rod when the brush let go and came off its base. So now there's a brass brush stuck down in the barrel! :cursing: I hope to come up with a solution so I...
