Nipple wrenches can be an area that needs some specific attention. Different guns quite often need different wrenches. The right wrench will work quite well and the wrong wrench can damage the nipple or the wrench or both. Try to get or make a wrench that fits well and works well with your... -

Just got my Old Army Back from Ruger. Check this out!
That is very welcome information. The one I have was purchased from the daughter of the original owner and she did not believe he ever fired it. I don't anticipate the need to return it to the factory for repairs anytime soon. It still gives one a good secure feeling to know that if the need... -

New double .50 cal. pistol from Pedersoli seen at Shot Show
I don’t know the exact length of the barrels. It was in a glass display case on a wall a little above eye level. They might be about 12 inches. It had a large curved fluted wood pistol grip with a heavy looking metal butt piece. You are not supposed to take pictures at the Shot Show... -

New double .50 cal. pistol from Pedersoli seen at Shot Show
I saw a new prototype double .50 caliber pistol at the Dixie Gun Works booth at the Shot Show in Orlando. Gloria, the Pedersoli rep was there and she explained that the gun was called the Howdah. It is named for the saddle used to ride elephants and this is where the gun was used for... -

First report on the new Crockett rifle.
The Crockett is a very good gun. I really like mine. I have however had a similar experience. It feels as though the breech area is larger than the barrel bore diameter. This gives me the feeling that there is a ledge of some kind at the bottom of the bore. I have had that ledge grab a...- Chrismico

If you have any problems finding parts, contact Gloria at Pedersoli. She communicates with the folks at Dixie Gun Works, and I think they are one of Pedersolis main parts distributors. The contact information for Pedersoli is [email protected] If the correct parts cannot...- Chrismico

Cabela's Blue Ridge rifles
Why are parts a problem? You can get them through Cabelas, Dixie, Pedersoli, and probably several other vendors. Just wondering what the parts problem is.- Chrismico

stuck ramrod help
I can tell you how to stick a ramrod, but I'm not recommending that you do it. When you're shooting swab the barrel with bore cleaner and get it good and clean. Then take a couple of clean patches and get it dry. Now take a couple of dry patches that fit pretty snuggly and run it in just to...- Chrismico

How do I adjust a sight?
There are two ways to accomplish your objective. The rear sight will need to be moved to the left an appropriate amount to bring the poi into alignment with the poa, or the front sight will need to be moved to the right in it- Chrismico

Kodiak Express Double Rifle
No, I have not used minnies or any type of conical bullets in the Kodiak. I probably should have, and I do own some Lee R.E.A.L. bullet moulds, which stands for rifling engraved at loading, but I have not. I understand the barrel leading caused by minnies made of pure lead can be pretty severe...- Chrismico

Kodiak Express Double Rifle
I got this pm from a friend on the forum and I decided to answer it on the forum after alerting him that I would do so. Hello Chris, Just curious...do you cast your own round balls for your Kodiak 58 caliber? If so, what brand name of mould do you use and do you like it? Would you recommend...- Chrismico
