    Gunworks is out of stock on #10 & 11 caps. But just buy the die and make your own. Unlimited supply. Cheaper in the long run. 22lrreloader.com check them out.

    People overestimate how often percussion revolvers were reloaded...

    Check out the Clint Eastwood movie Josie Wales. He carried 4-6 guns and never reloads during a fight. He just switches pistols. I saw one western where the shooter actually carried backup cylinders and changed them to reload during a fight. Rather rare but did get shown in a couple of period...

    FOR SALE S/S Nipples......Doc Hawkens "DRACHON" Nipples #11 for Rifles and Shotguns

    Hello Dochawkens, By any chance do you make #11 nipples for Pietta pistols? My reason is that they come with #10 nipples and those are near impossible tp find. However #11 are more readily accessible. So it just make sense to have conversion nipples. I think the threads are 6x.75. Just...

    So I just wanted to thank those of you that made BB offers as well as giving me advice as well as suggestions concerning my first thread that I have posted here. Sincerest apologies if I offended anyone how and where I posted my question. I haven't even fired any BP firearm since I was a...

    Anyone Know much about this R. Nesbitt 1981.30-.32 cal Barrel? came in kit.

    You already got the stock all finished? Man your quick. At least you knew what you were doing. I had no idea and am more then happy with the hawken rifle. My son's BP rifle is also a 50 so we can share materials. I picked up my first .44 revolver from Cabelas the other day. They didn't quit have...

    Anyone Know much about this R. Nesbitt 1981.30-.32 cal Barrel? came in kit.

    Zerosprk, Thanks for your suggestion. At the time I posted this , I wasn't specifically looking to sell/trade, but was hoping someone knew or had some info on the barrel and possibly who's kit this was. If I couldn't find any info about the kit then I was going to do some research into what it...

    Anyone Know much about this R. Nesbitt 1981.30-.32 cal Barrel? came in kit.

    Appalachian hunter, Thanks for those kind words. As this is the introduction thread and being brand new to the forum I thought my post was mostly just fine. Being brand new to BP, I thought I'd introduce myself and tell what I have. I may want to complete the rifle, however it would probally be...

    Anyone Know much about this R. Nesbitt 1981.30-.32 cal Barrel? came in kit.

    bpflint, I've been here in Spokane all my life so know where White's boots are located. Your right on the money on the shiny lock. It says "Dixie Gunworks" and Italy on the inner side and "Lashmore Warranted" I think on the front face. The stock is pretty heavy so I'm guessing maple? It has a...

    Anyone Know much about this R. Nesbitt 1981.30-.32 cal Barrel? came in kit.

    bpflint, Yep, I figured it was mostly all there, just need a drill and tap to install the flash hole. I found a sight that sells the drill and tap for the appropriate size barrel, as well as the needed insert. Just haven't contacted them as the page was from 2018. So I can imagine prices have...

    Hawk Sheath

    Hey Flashpoint, For a belt holder just make a simple loop of leather with a belt sheath attached. Mostly like what you would see on a carpenters belt for his hammer. Your sheath for the thawk looks fine. For person no rivets or snaps. Stitched with sinew, and just a touch and sleeve to close...

    SOLD Pending funds: Hunting knife authentic looking

    Hello Two Feathers, Now that you mentioned it, what weight leather did you use? Is it 7-8oz veg-tan or is it chrome tanned? Just because you put it out there. I've made a couple of railroad spike knives, so I can attest on how much work and labor goes into making a knife. It's a good looking...
