    I think most of the people that enter that shop don't have a lot of time to get the money. Vito is waiting around the corner!

    You can bet you won't get an inflated value from Rick. Most of the guns he gets in there I'd buy it for much more.

    Model 1842 Haston Pistol

    I've done extensive internet search and came up with a handful of parts suppliers but I really need a replacement barrel band and side plate for this pistol. Can be a repro. Anybody have any suggestions? S&S and Dixie had some parts but not these.

    Model 1842 Haston Pistol

    My thinking exactly on this project. The lock parts that S&S didn't have I found at Dixie. If needed I'll change all the parts to make it a shooter. Do I need to remove the breech plug to hone the barrel?

    Model 1842 Haston Pistol

    I've been wondering about how to bend that trigger guard. Its so obviously bent, I'll need o do something. Don't know how complete the lock is. Dixie carries a lot of the springs and other parts. Already ordered the hammer, ramrod and replacement screws from S&S. It'll be just plain amazing to...

    Sharpe Flintlock

    I found a flintlock lock and all it says on it is "Sharpe" and no other markings. It looks like it might be old.

    Sharpe Flintlock

    Anybody ever hear of these flintlocks? Was there ever reproductions of the locks made?

    .36 Uberti Colt Pocket Navy Revolver

    I bought a Pietta Pocket Remington Revolver, Brass Frame from Dixie. As soon as it arrived I had to order a new hammer as it wasn't striking the nipples properly. I still need to turn down the nipples so they will fit the #10 caps I use on all my other revolvers. Good luck with the Colt.

    Model 1842 Haston Pistol

    I want to apologize for my topic title. I copied and pasted the ignorant sellers description without looking at it. It is an H. Aston pistol, not a Haston pistol. These guys have no idea what they sell.
