    Half scale Pendulum Hausse sight?

    I've been using the rear sight from an '03 Springfield rifle as a rear sight for my half scale Napoleon.... it's time to look for something more appropriate. I've found a few full size Pendulum Hausse sights but not only are they too big they are also somewhat beyond my price range. So...

    To wad or not to wad?

    Have a 36 caliber Uberti-made 1858 Remington that has proven to be quite accurate... minute of shotgun hull at 20 yards. Have tried loads both with and without Wonder Wads between the ball and powder. Either way I still Crisco over the chamber mouths. Can't say as I've really seen any...

    Ready for a test drive !!!

    I'm just about finished rebuilding my half-scale Napoleon... all that remains is to add a few hooks for hanging implements. I would take it out for a test drive today but the truck is in the shop for some minor maintenance and it won't fit in the back of the Saturn. It's now a golfball...

    How to attach sabot?

    With any luck I am within a couple weeks of making smoke and fire again. My half scale Napoleon has been sleeved down to a golfball bore... now it is time to make up a few solid shot rounds for it. Cutting suitable plugs from a good grade of plywood is no problem at all, a 1 7/8" hole saw...

    Almost back in business

    Years back I bought a half scale Napoleon tube from Hern Iron Works in 2 1/4" bore. Built a carriage from Home Depot lumber as actual oak was just way beyond my budget. It served the purpose and once painted you couldn't really tell. Balls were cast from wheelweight and weighed right around 2...

    Conicals in a Uberti-made 1861 Navy?

    I'm seriously thinking of buying a Uberti-made 1861 Navy. Would also like to shoot conicals if I can find one that can easily be seated without canting. The Lyman #358160 looks as though it might work. It's 150gr. Have any of you tried this one... or found a conical that was easy to load...

    Uberti 1858 Remington - Army vs Navy

    Decisions, decisions, decisions. I've pretty much made up my mind that my next revolver is going to be a Uberti-made 1858 Remington. This will be mostly a "plinking" gun... as long as it will hold "minute of soda can" at 25 yards that will be fine with me. Now I have to decide between the...

    What a difference 5 grains made

    Urethra... I have found it!!! I've always loved that immortal Kelly Bundy line. I realize that a single 3 shot group is hardly a definitive result but it sure makes for a good start. Managed to get away from the house for a while yesterday afternoon and took my Pedersoli-made Brown Bess out...

    Smoking mortar rounds

    No, I'm not talking about putting one in a pipe and lighting it.... rather, a mortar round that leaves a smoke trail in flight... now that could be interesting. Seems to me that one of the hollow ball rounds could be filled with some combustible material that should leave a visible flight...

    MVT French Model 1733 Pistol

    Found this over at Middlesex Village Trading Co. The pics don't look all that bad. Anyone have any experience with this particular pistol? Or other pistols from MVT? Worth buying or just save my bucks? Thanks.
