    Caps Made In Idaho

    The answer to the "just make more" demands are that those factories are very likely already running at full capacity, very likely at least two shifts a day if not three. The machine they are using have to be built, they aren't readily available to buy off the shelf anywhere. And then you need...

    Fixable or not?

    Drill out the hole cleanly and tap it to create new threads for a new nipple, but you will have to look around for a nipple with larger thread diameter and match that. Maybe a larger musket nipple will work for it, which would give you the benefit of allow you to use musket nipples that are so...

    California

    Please expand on range in Kern Co. and bp club in Ridgecrest. I've moved twice in the last couple of years and went from North Idaho to East Washington and now back to Frazier Park, CA to help my elderly father. I feel like I've gone from the land of the free to the land of "What!?! You own a...

    SOLD REDUCED Pietta Remington New Army .44 (“1858 Remington”) $285 FREE SHIPPING

    Ask an 2A attorney who is well versed in your state's laws. Just because a cap & ball revolver may not be considered a "firearm" by the feds because it can't shoot cartridge ammo, does not mean it's not a deadly weapon and your state may jam you up for having/carrying one. And many states have...

    1858 Speed Shooting video

    It was neat to see from the viewpoint of a guy who likes to play cowboy, but it also made me happy I have unmentionables to defend myself with should it ever become necessary. If I did ever have to go into battle with a cap & ball revolver the Remington New Army would likely be it, but I'd want...

    Are movie prop revolvers fully functional reproductions?

    Sorry to keep beating this dead horse of a thread, but I can't stop thinking about negligent discharges. I've had exactly one in my lifetime that happened when I was about 15. I was shooting a large caliber SAA unmentionable at an unsupervised outdoor range, was sighted on target, cocked and...

    Are movie prop revolvers fully functional reproductions?

    Holy moly, is there ever some disturbing reports coming out about the armorer. I've done a bit of photography on various film sets over the years and always thought being a movie armorer would be a dream job. A very serious job, but tons of fun. I guess sometimes you get a job based on who...

    Are movie prop revolvers fully functional reproductions?

    We all know there are four redundant rules that will keep you safe. I'm not going to repeat them. But, on a film set, they often violate at least the first two on a routine bases when filming scenes. That's why it's so darn vital that a prop master be on hand to double and triple check that...

    Are movie prop revolvers fully functional reproductions?

    Here is exactly how Brandon Lee died. It was a revolver and they wanted to see the bullets in the cylinder during a shot of the gun pointing towards the camera. To do so they took live ammo and removed the powder, but left the primers in place, effectively making a bunch of squib loads rather...
