    SOLD Pending funds:FS Pietta 1858 Remington Brass 44 Target 8" Price Reduced $200/shipped

    This is an older,(1997) and probably better Pietta 1858 in .44. Looks like it may have been a Buffalo Model and cut back to 8". No sign of corrosion, barrel, cylinder, and internals all good. The bolt has dragged on the cylinder a little and marked it, but not gouged it. It has a smooth action...

    SOLD (Sold) Percussion Double Barreled 44 cal percussion pistol $200 shipped

    Vintage, 1970's, marked Jager, but likely Armi Jager, double barreled percussion pistol. Both barrels mic at exactly .440 and are lightly grooved (don't know the rate of twist), 8" in length, and are nicely blued. This pistol is in good shape, functional, and likely never shot. I check to make...

    Cap Post - Brazed?

    I make mine 1/16" and drill the hole all of the way through so that they can be driven out if broken. I use JB Weld. I've only lost one, which I had made from a broken drill bit - way to brittle. I switched to 1/16 wire. JB Weld or other, be sure you degrease both the hole and the pin very...

    Pietta 1851

    I've got two 1851 brassers I use for cowboy action and a Rem 1858 for backup. Upgrade the nipples, hone/taper the cylinder openings. I load the brassers just above the CAS minimum - 18 grains 2F (lower pressure than the 3F) Triple-seven with the same amount of creamowheat on top. I don't see the...

    Lead ball over 6 shot?

    The buckshot and birdshot combination is my standard field load. It I shoot shot, its normally a square load of 70grains. I will load 3 00buckshot and then the balance of 7.5 shot, plus a little extra. It shoots a good pattern at 20 yards and the 3 buckshots are normally all within 6" of...

    I am lost NW Trade Gun

    I have two 20 gauge smoothbores. A short trade gun and a 43" Fusil de Chasse. The fusil is by far more comfortable to shoot despite its awkward look. I found a 19th century ball mold and both shoot that .610 ball very well. I put a sight on the fusil and it's good to 100 yards for deer. It...

    Trade gun shooting low.

    I was in the same situation, to the point of considering barrel bending. I made a temporary brass sight for it. It shot right on. I didn't like the "floating anchor point" technique just for this gun as it's contrary to a good cheek weld that I use on other guns. I made the sight permanent. It...

    fire bow drill question

    I have had good luck with a sage spindle, cottonwood fireboard, and a deer or elk "socket bone" (metatarsal?)-all pretty easy to find in Eastern Oregon. As far as PC for string - seems like the options are pretty limited: leather, homemade twisted cordage. I would consider braided leather for...

    Loading a ball on top of shot column?

    My fusee field load is 70g 3F, paper wad, four .32 buckshot, and about 5/8ounce of #7 shot. Everything is in a 24" group at 25 yards and the 4 buckshot are always within a 6" circle at point of aim. I'm wondering if the birdshot keeps them tight. I'm usually hunting rabbits, but sometimes...
