    Black Powder Aluminium Flask?

    There have been experiments that addressed this subject and it was found that you needed heat along with the arc to set off the black powder. Normal static electricity will not set off 1F, 2F, 3F, or 4F black powder. Depending on the spark it could set off VERY FINE DUST black powder. Now if you...

    Once on a bird hunt it was getting late in the day and we were done for the day and standing around just talking and this bat was flying all around so I put one 20 gage shell in my SKB side by side with 26" barrels and shot that bat out of the sky at 40 + yards - I used the front bead to do...

    Black Powder Aluminium Flask?

    How would you fabricate it? If made in two halves how would you join the two halves? If made from round pipe you would have to thread end caps and you would need a lathe chuck to hold the thing securely or a face plate and dog. Can it be done - sure - will it look period - no. Tin would look...

    Which 1858 Remington to get

    I prefer the Uberti guns over Pietta. The fit and finish is much better. If price is an issue go Pietta.

    1763 Barrel Band Spring Repair

    Very nice welding work on such a delicate part. How do you think the weld will hold up? BTW nice torch. I'd like to see how you are going to cast this part.

    Intuitive shooting

    Some say that they don't use the bead on a shotgun and can do without it - I say BS -. Your mind subconsciously does look for some front sight reference whether it be the barrel or a bead. Once that front reference is located then your eyes focus on the target. This happens so fast that you...

    Flint works loose after multiple shots

    As has been noted use thinner leather and cut a notch out of the back so that the flint can move back towards the jaw screw. I like to use pig skin it's very tough.:thumb:

    Intuitive shooting

    You point a shotgun and aim a rifle -- period;). If the shotgun fits you then you don't think about hitting your target - it just happens unless you pick your head up off the stock - then you will miss your target all the time:thumb:.

    Remember this Davy Crockett movie scene?

    Back then Disney made great movies and TV shows. The TV had wholesome programs the whole family could watch together.

    What BP load do you use in your .36 revolver

    In any of my .36 caliber revolvers I use 15 to 18 grains of 3-F and a round ball.

    Walmart doesn't carry pillow ticking.

    Check Walmart online. I purchased some pillow ticking a few months ago that was 0.012" thick. They also had cotton duck that was 0.023" thick that compressed down to 0.019". Also check Eastern Main Shooting Supplies they have bulk patch material.

    Pietta Spiller & Burr Revolver

    Well - I thought about what you said and this morning I removed the grips and placed the spring next to the factory spring and there is NO WAY that the replacement spring will fit. If you ever did get it in there would be such a high preload that the hammer would pound the nipples flat :( :ghostly:

    Pietta Spiller & Burr Revolver

    ernbar - maybe it will fit - I never gave it a try. It looked too far off from the factory one - Next time I have it apart I will give it a try! From the looks of the curve in the spring it does not look like it will fit in the slot at the base of the grip and be able to engage the roller in the...

    Pietta Spiller & Burr Revolver

    Well -- I got the replacement mainspring the other day and it is nowhere near the factory original that came in the gun. I called VTI and sent them a picture of what the original looked like and what they sent me. They told me that that was what Pietta sent them as the replacement for the...

    Stuck Ramrod

    Follow Jim's advise - he built the kit and he knows his stuff why would you mess around doing other things that may get you into deep yogurt? Heating a ramrod with a heat gun will get a bend out of a ramrod no doubt about it IF that is what is required to fix your issue :dunno:.
