    FOR SALE 1841 Mississippi Rifle .54

    Nice rifle. Someone is going to remind you to post a photo of the gun with a piece of paper with your name and the date written on it, as per the rules of the Classifieds.

    Progressively rifled barrel for Enfield 1853/58

    Jon Huggett's KNOWING THE ENFIELD VOL. 1 arrived yesterday. Wow. What a stunning book. I also got a hold of a copy of C.H. Roads' THE BRITISH SOLDIER'S FIREARM. This will keep me busy for a while.

    CLOSED 1851 navy steel frame

    I've been looking out for a London 1851 Navy, like the rest of you. I guess that explains why it is difficult to find one under $400.

    Becoming a Paper Cartridges Youtube addict

    Need help with 1858 Enfield clone.

    That's an Armi San Paolo (Euroarms) mark: DGG. The date stamp is difficult to make out. It could be CC, which means it was made in 2008.

    Questions for the Pritchett bullet shooters/casters

    This is the stuff I use. The NOE plug molds were sold out when I looked, so I just make a pea sized ball and push it into the base, trimming off excess. When it solidifies it shrinks a little bit. I haven't tried them out yet. I need to make up the cartridges, but I haven't found the right...

    Questions for the Pritchett bullet shooters/casters

    @BillinOregon I hope you don't mind if I piggyback on your thread with related questions. I bought some Pritchett bullets to make into cartridges. The skirts of some were slightly deformed. Does this matter? What sort of plug to you use, if you use a plug? The bullets I bought are about...

    Need help with 1858 Enfield clone.

    Before I got your very good advice and ordered from Lodgewood, I ordered some minies from TOTW. They are shiny, which indicates a lead-tin alloy.
