Help identifying a Navy Arms 1858?
The Deluxe version is the same as the DGW Shooters Model. Every part except the screws should fit an original at least that is what I was told when I purchase mine back in 1997. The rifling in the barrel is progressive which is diffent from the standard Italian revolvers. Mine is really... -

Lee makes 3 conical molds for black powder revolvers. The one for the navy is 0.375 with two lube grooves. They are not much bigger than a roundball. -

Pietta NM Remington 'Shooter's Model'

I also get good accuracy using the 0.456 Lee conicals.I just purchased two extra cylinders from DGW for the shooters revolver. Aftery your... -

King George Priming Flask
I have been looking for a picture of this flask that I thought I placed on a disc prior to my computer crashing but I just can't seem to find it. Maybe I could just contact Jarnagin and they could point me in the right direction.- B. Miller

King George Priming Flask
Jarnagin used to carry a King George brass priming flask. The explanation was that prior to the revolutionary war, priming was seperate from loading the ball. The flask was a replica of one found at Fort Louden and had the Kings Coat of Arms on the outside. These were usually a wait listed...- B. Miller

I'm not happy with Lyman
I got the ramrod stuck in my lyman running a patch through. I took out the flash hole liner, placed a little bit of flash powder inside the back of the barrel put the flash hole liner back primed the pan and let fly. The ramrod went about 25 to 30 feet, landed harmlessly with nothing broken. Bruce- B. Miller

No gain in Pietta barrels
To get the gain twist rifiling in a Pietta Remington you either need the Navy Arms Deluxe Remington or the DGW Shooters Revolver. Cabelas also carried it for a while but have not seen it in their catalogue for quite a while. These guns are expensive. -

Yes, I belong to the Jefferson County Longrifles or at least I did up until this weekend. My dad got sick and I did't make the picnic and I will not be able to make the winter rendezvous this weekend when 2013 dues are due. Probably square up at the summer rendezvous.- B. Miller

Euroarms America
I had a 1803 Harpers Ferry with the same problem. It needed a sidecar on the barrel to get it to shoot accurately. I was lucky, kind of, as I purchased mine from Navy Arms but it still took over three years to get a new rifle. Never fired the replacement though as I purchased a Lyman GPR as I...- B. Miller

alox
N-SSA smoothbore shooters have a love affair with alox. Double dipped round ball and i believe it is between 40 and 50 grains of FFF Swiss, no card/wad. One of the guys I shoot with tried it in his NSW Officers Fusil and claimed he could adjust for right and left. I guess I am going to try it...- B. Miller

Cabela's SxS going the way of the carrier pigeon
Spikebuck, is it just the 12 gage that will be discontinued or is it all three gages of the side by sides. I believe the 10 gage is more popular between the 10 an 12. I do have one of their 12s that I purchased out of the Wheeling Bargin Cave a couple of years back and picked up the extra choke...- B. Miller

Ok going off of memory here. Whitney manufactured Colts prior to the completion of the colt factory. I can't rember which one. Whitney also had use of the Beals Patton,for the solid frame revolver prior to Remington, as Beals worked for Whitney. Eli Whitney matched the 1851 colt loading lever...
