Still no joy, the caps went as they should but it failed to set the main charge off. What...

    Difference in Hawken vs Kentruckey

    Ok I admit I know a lot about modern military arms (at least those in America) but I am not well versed in antique arms from the 18 hundreds. So what is the difference between a Hawken 50 caliber kit and a Kentucky 50 caliber kit, say from Dixie or one of the other major suppliers. I am new to...

    I have an old Dixie Gun Works Rifle

    The ramrod appears to be the original unit for this rifle. It is 39.75 inches long, I do not have any attachments, no puller, no rammer no cleaning eye.

    I found this set at a small gun shop, What is it? a factory set or a special issue? Or???

    Thank you for your service, I started in the Oregon N.G. in Sept 63 and got out of the Regular Army in May 72, then did another 3 years in the Idaho Guard. A friend of mine's daughter is currently serving in the Coast Guard but I am unsure of exactly where at the moment, she was on the west...

    Thank you for your input, I'm beginning to think I actually did something right for once, Hey you know, maybe me and a civilian clock have something in common. When were you in the Coast Guard?
