    Cleaning a Barrel with a Threaded Breech Plug

    Hello Everyone, I'm not sure if I'm over thinking this or not, but I had a question about cleaning a barrel with a threaded breech plug. My method for cleaning barrels is to completely remove it from the rifle, stick the aft end into a sink full of hot soapy water, and then use the plunger...

    cylinder pin entering barrel problem

    I have a 1851 pieta navy BP revolver. When I first got it, the barrel came off the cylinder pin easily when wedge was removed. After firing it about 60 times, the barrel comes off the cylinder pin until the last 1/2 inch where it sticks and requires a lot of effort to remove. I thought it was...

    I’ve seen old black powder revolvers with very thin cylinder wall thickness, like these cylinders for example: and this pepperbox has also resonable thin walls: Back in the days the quality of the steel was inferior, so it got me to wounder about the steels of today. What’s the minimum...

    Results in on flexible bore light

    A month ago I was on a quest to find a way to both see deeply into the bore of a .54 barrel, and access it to fix any problems without removing the barrel and breech plug from the stock.
