    Anyone here have experience with Military Heritage .com ML's?

    I had to do extensive lock & spring work on mine to make it an acceptable firearm. For the budget conscious person willing (and experienced) at tuning locks and working springs, they're a good bang for the buck

    How do you prime your pan?

    4" horn with 4f for my small panned .50 rifle...3 grain spring loaded spout straight 1f from main horn for my big panned .62 smoothbore 1f sets off the barrel charge as quickly as 4f .

    IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP

    no....but swallowing a SMALL amount of Holy Black (half a teaspoon) 2-3 days in a row will deworm canines & humans alike. be prepared for a belly ache ....but it works !

    Moving my 1400*F Powder Magazine

    I got that bit of info off the (I believe now defunct) "Bama Carry" forum.......i'll try to Google it & do it as an attachment here.

    Does anyone bring 2 revolvers to the range and load and shoot both?

    2, sometimes 3........I load "off gun" using a 1/2 ton arbor press until all cylinders are full.....then cap & fire all. rinse & repeat. Usually a ROA 7.5 stainless.....a Uberti 4.5 CCH '58 Remmy copy....and a 7.5 1860 Colt copy by Pietta. all 3 get 30gr 3f , a lubed felt wad cut from thrift...

    Moving my 1400*F Powder Magazine

    Having rethought my methods, I now store BR and substitutes in a big plastic tool box....and percussion caps / primers are still in a .50 cal. ammo can...y'all make sense that a large "FOOF" is infinitely better than a huge BOOM. part of my decision was based on the fact that the supposed "fire...

    Gun Powder "substitutes"

    and here I was.....thinking I was likely the only one here ever exposed to the "brown death cloud". ( phosphene/phosgene) we used to leach iron rich metals in site mixed Hf....and our scrubbers sometimes failed......more than once the alarm went off, the cloud was issuing from the acid reactor...

    Should I fix this?

    my only percussion gun is a 1975 Spanish "pre CVA" that I got in '75 for my 12th birthday. I still use the bore-through hole as a cleanout / dribble hole and have used 1/2 drop of anti seize on it every cleaning since new. it IS useful occasionally !

    Moving my 1400*F Powder Magazine

    I have spent the past year unconsciously moving every piece of my BP, Muzzle Loading, and modern cartridge reloading kit to the house next door I inherited from my Dad last year .(MISS YOU EVERY DAY DAD!) I had Dad out shooting front-stuffers as old as 81 y/o......it's what we did together from...

    improving my "new" '58 Remington?

    those "grooves" actually make a nice spot for sticky fouling to settle in.....i'd lightly polish the arbor pin & otherwise leave that part alone.

    Hammer Cam Damage

    looks like someone attempted "fanning" with a gun with soft metal parts......
  13. Redstick Lee

    Should I fix this?

    an old, mass produced CVA? bore light after pulling the nipple & shoot it until the barrel's burnt !!
  14. Redstick Lee

    I apologize and wish to return !!

    oooooo K.......so I now know why i'm no standup comedian.......the "but I haven't been to RI" was SUPPOSED to be funny.....oh well. thanks for the welcomes !!

    How do you equip different guns? (For the field)

    Different bags, one horn (gotta get another) and various oddities as needed.
