    People overestimate how often percussion revolvers were reloaded...

    I catch those mistakes all the time, especially around the time of the Civil War. I sort of solved the reloading issue on my 1858 by buying a couple more cylinders. Now I can reload them on the bench with a homemade press and just add caps when I am at the range.

    Looking for Information on an unmarked gun

    What i have done when faced with an odd sized nipple is to use the original as the portion to thread into the rifle and cut drill and tap a new hole into it for a new nipple that I could currently buy. Make a old nipple sleeve for the new nipple.

    28 gauge... 54 smooth... I have ?s

    You're right according to the shotgun gauge chart. But it seems that what we may be calling a 28 gauge is based on 54 caliber, which used a .530-.535 approximate ball size, my 54 smoothie uses a .015 patched .520 ball.

    tc rear sight

    I have used this sight on both my TC renegade with a Green Mountain drop in barrel and on a Cabelas Hawken made by invest arms. I used existing tapped holes, but if I remember correctly I could only use 2 holes and the ones that did line up were different from rifle to rifle. To plug the...

    lock function.

    When I was working on my lock the other day after shooting, I looked at the tumbler and no fly, but it was there. Dragging a strong magnet across the carpet got it back, they sure are small.
