    CVA Mountain Rifle question

    I'm the owner of one Mountain Rifle and have just purchased another via internet. The seller describes it as a CVA Mountain Rifle, 50 caliber, 1-66 inch twist barrel in a walnut stock. The stock doesn't have a patch box and the trigger guard is different from the MR I already have. What years...

    Help with flask ID

    This is a stock photo but I have a flask just like it. Is this a BP flask? Does anyone know anything about it? It has been in my family for many years. Thanks.

    CVA Mountain Rifle lock

    I recently purchased a badly used CVA Mountain Rifle. I'm currently working on restoring it but I have a question about the percussion lock and triggers. When I first unpacked the rifle the triggers wouldn't move and the hammer wouldn't stay at half or full cock. Now the hammer will stay at...

    Dance and Brothers...safety concerns?

    Howdy people, I performed a search but couldn't find what I needed. First, I have never handled one of these revolvers but am seriously considering getting one. None of my guns are safe queens nor or they range guns. When I'm out in the sticks I'm carrying a BP revolver. I am a little...

    21 inch 56 caliber smoothbore

    I'm not familiar with smoothbores and need advice. Would the 21 inch barrel be too short for taking squirrels, quail and bunnies? I think with a PRB I could probably pop a deer or pig perhaps? I'm very interested in the versatility of the short barrel. Thanks.

    Armi San Marco Walker question

    Hi folks. Today the mailman was nice enough to bring me an Armi San Marco Walker. It is in very good condition and doesn't even have a cylinder ring. I usually utilize the search function before asking a question but my internet is running very sloooowwwwly, so here goes: How do I determine...

    A question about Pietta Remingtons

    I suddenly realized that it has been over a month since I last bought a Remington. I have the regular model with the 8 inch barrel. It has proven to be a very good and accurate shooter. I'm currently considering buying a Pietta 1858 Target Model. I don't reenact so correctness is not a...

    Initial thoughts on my new Pietta 1858

    I bought this revolver (8 inch barrel model) about two weeks ago from Cabelas and got the revolver starter pack thing for free. Didn't really need it because I have tons of gear, but it was free... Anyway, I carry a black plastic pistol for a living and haven't fired a revolver, much less a BP...

    Rust, me and a TC Renegade

    Over the past several years I have gotten away from BP guns, gear and shooting. But the bug bit me again so here I am. I have never owned a Renegade and had the chance to purchase a used (duh) one on the internet a couple of weeks ago. The seller said there was no rust on the gun. The outside of...

    Birchwood Casey No77 Black Powder Solvent

    This morning I was sitting in my office watching it mist outside. I thought one way to cut through the gloom of the day was to do a little shooting. So I came home and grabbed my Paterson, Dragoon, and a couple of single shot pistols and headed off to shoot behind the house. The shooting went...

    First fowler

    I've been shooting BP for many years in one form or another. However, after reading this forum I decided I needed a fowler. Soooooooooooooo, I found a Jack Garner flinter in .62 caliber with a 36 inch barrel. I realize some people haven't been happy with Jack's work, but this smoothbore is by...
