    Joann's - what am I doing wrong ?

    Sad state of affairs with JoAnns. I was able to order 2 yards of the pocket drill fabric online some months back just to try. It was delivered in a timely manner. I was pleased with it and recently tried to reorder. Ran into the same problem as previous posters namely, “unable to ship” pocket...

    Help fixing a dumb mistake.

    I tried that a few years back but could not keep the two fluids from rapidly separating. Maybe I used the wrong type of ATF? Thanks for the additional info. I think it was just called “distillate” over here but it’s use was WAY before my time. 🤣 I shall now cease and desist following this...

    New to muzzleloaders need help identifying a tc muzzleloader

    Add my congratulations on an astoundingly good deal! Regarding trying out your set trigger, do NOT use it with the hammer at the half-cock position. Doing so could break the tip of the sear or even possibly break the half-cock notch. Try it with the hammer down on the nipple, or at full-cock...

    CVA Lock interchangability

    I can't address your specific question since I am not familiar with the Plainsman rifle. However, many years ago I replaced the original percussion lock (without a bridle) on a CVA Kentucky rifle with newer CVA lock that did have a bridle, as well as a fly in the tumbler. The lock plates were...

    (Antique) Small Tim Dixie Gunworks Caps?

    I bought 10 tins of these in the mid-'80s. Cost then was 75 cents/100. Still have a tin or maybe two around just for the heck of it.

    Pietta 1851 .36 questions

    Very happy to learn that you were able to remove that stubborn screw without having to resort to a torch, pyrotechnics, or worse. 😀 Hope you enjoy that daylights out of your revolver.

    Pietta 1851 .36 questions

    If you have access to a drill press, clamp the trigger guard frame in the drill press vise. Put a properly-fitting screwdriver bit in the chuck, bring the quill down and align it with the screw. Then, firmly applying pressure onto the screw head, clamp the quill in place. Grasp the chuck by hand...
