    Uberti 1849 Pocket Revolver

    I am looking for a good bullet mold for this pistol. I see one on Dixie but the Grammar in the description is kind of poor so I am not understanding if they say it stinks or what. Here is their ad. https://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=7970&osCsid=2mnu8k8k4bo84r2rn6rpekjrg2...

    Buckskin Coat

    Well I appreciate all the info here. I thought about this a lot last night and I am thinking for my first buckskin project that I am going to probably make something along the line (like the poster above mentioned) a buckskin over-shirt first. The pattern is pretty straight forward. Now if one...

    Buckskin Coat

    Nice picture. Thanks. So you basically used a coat pattern and modified it? Seems simple enough. How much does it stretch? So basically using your correct coat size would be the way to go. They don't shrink do they? Got to say I am in love with this one but frock patterns are much harder to put...

    Buckskin Coat

    I am looking to make a buckskin coat. The period I looking to emulate is the 1850s in the west (TX, NM, AZ). I have read several accounts of these being used in coats and in shirt form. What I am looking to do is make a coat. Where can I find good patterns for this time period for buckskin...

    "North-West" Gun in 1859

    Hello, I am doing research into the area of the southwest where I live and came across this article in the "Weekly Arizonan", A Tubac, AZ newspaper in 1859. It mentions various weapons available some were advertised over and over but some new ads come up. Specifically this one advertises...

    Questions on purchasing a new muzzleloader

    I was about to post that the Mike Lang "Western Trade Rifle" might be right about what I am looking for and really the cost for the finished rifle is not much more that GPR kit when labor is calculated into it. http://mikelange.homestead.com/Western-Trade-Rifle.html The example listed above is...

    Questions on purchasing a new muzzleloader

    Yes we are going to get a beginner gun first. The build part is for both of us and I am sure I will do the lion share of the labor. I guess the build is to wet my feet personally with kits and building. I am not worried about it getting knocked around or field scars. My CW black powder rifles...

    Questions on purchasing a new muzzleloader

    I appreciate all the advice here. Like I said I originally I am not new to blackpowder shooting. I was heavily involve din CW living history for around 15 years. I did extensive research into the area of the Confederate Sharpshooters of the CW. If you have never read Lee's Sharpshooters, it is...

    Questions on purchasing a new muzzleloader

    You know I really would like to get one of those custom guns but I think when all said and done I would be $1500 + and then some. I need to not lose perspective, that I am getting my son into it and the more I think about it a half stock kit (and probably in percussion) might be what is probably...

    Questions on purchasing a new muzzleloader

    Hi, I tried posting this once but it never showed up.... I am a first time poster and I am hoping I am posting this in the correct area because it is sort of a general question. I am looking to purchase a black powder rifle that would be appropriate to western fur trade or trapper era. I am...
