    My first .36 revolver

    I noticer the ones who complain about brass stretching usually over charge the revolver. I have several and have no problem with any of them. And I fire them regularly.

    My blunderbuss options

    I picked up the flinter. This is so I can do Mt. Man or early 1800's reenactments. Caplocks weren't around that early(1820 ish).

    My blunderbuss options

    You can get the same blunderbuss in flint. I picked up one last fall. Works fine. Watch the Youtube video of a guy who will use it for turkey hunting.

    New Uberti 1861 Navy from Midway. Buyer Beware!

    musket caps available

    my local gun shop has plenty of Tophat musket caps, the problem seems to be #10, and 11 pistol caps are next to impossible to find. And if you do find them the price is outrageous.

    Holsters and rust?

    I live in a high humidity area. Michigan. The great lake is about 30 miles away, and I have one of the major inland lakes less than 1/4 mile from my front door. My safe is one of those inexpensive Stack-On. So not air, or water tight. I store my modern as well as Cap and Ball pistols and...

    Miniature cannon idea

    Check on Ebay for tubes and cannons. Prices arn't bad. But you have to know what your looking for, and what it is. I am getting kinda paranoid, so I don't post pictures of my weapons on the net any longer.

    I Don't Like my 1851 Colt

    Take your gun to a smithy. I had my blast shield milled out to better accept the caps. Also for that nameless stuff that you can't mention (conversion cylinder with a loading gate) oops I mentioned it. Or what you can do is just go buy yourself a Confederate Dance Brothers, it has no...
