    Got the LeMat

    wpjson : "Anyone know how secure this feature is on the Le Mat? Feels tight, but looks a bit spooky. " it works fine. personally, i keep mine in position 2 when at the range and it's loaded. "Cavalry model, anyhow, breaks down for cleaning the cylinder very quickly and easily. Have not tried...

    wpjason: purple ? mine is more of a midnight blue. did you get a navy arms ? sometimes they are a "color case hardening" type of exterion. i've seen colts and remmys done with similar colors. ~ daniel ~

    New member from NorCal

    BCMountainman: "Unobtainium"...? No, not at all unobtainable. i've been shooting BP in the bay area for nearly a decade. the trick is to look for *outdoor* facilities like these: San Leandro (near oakland airport)- http://www.slrifle.com/ Richmond Range - http://www.richmondrodandgun.com/...

    Converting Rifled To Smooth Bore

    Hello, I can't make up my mind as to whether or i'd like to have a SxS .58 rifled Howdah converted to smoothbore barrels or just leave them as is. One option is to simply buy an interchangable SxS 20g, but that costs almost as much as an entirely new handgun. Another option would be to have...

    How reasonable are current Old Army prices?

    RedFeather, if you're actually interested in getting an ROA (blued, 7.5" bbl), there are *two* available right here in the classified ads and both are going for $450. they look great. one is offered by "steg49" and the other by "gman10" - tempting. as to a $600 price tag, no way... my...

    Bluing a SS 1858 NMA ...

    Much obliged. Turns out that this auction is DOA regardless. Buried in the description is a small case "as-is" which always rings of hidden and usually not good flaws or imperfections that i would have to find by Q&A or after the transaction. Thanks, but no thanks. ~DBG~

    Bluing a SS 1858 NMA ...

    Hello Fellow MLF'ers: After months of searching, I came across the perfect choice of Remington 1858 NMA - a Navy Arms Pietta, convertible, with both cylinders; but, it is in stainless steel only. That's a deal-breaker for me as I don't like "pimped out" antiques. :headslap: Then the gears in...

    Firearms appraisel

    hi, leatherbark: "flayderman's guide" is always my first stop: (p139) remmington 1861 army revolver; martially marked standard percussion model - good $650, fine $2000. they're all pretty much in the same range. ~d~

    Bluing

    Bo Harden, all right, go with me on this one: 1) brownells did do gunsmithing at one time. i called them at 1-800-741-0015, and Holly told me they did bluing long long ago, but not anymore. "can you recommend anyone ?" i asked. she said, "give mark penrod (in illinois) a call. he's the...

    paper cartridges

    wicket, agreed ! and sorry for the glitch in my previous posting for "how to" youtube demos. hopefully this one will come out right. pC5mwOJ2Khg this was made by Boom1850 and shows how to get 2-fer-1 out of large sized papers. personally, i like to see it done before i start...

    paper cartridges

    Ray-Vigo, yeah, they are pretty good (as long as you can "decode" his hungarian-english dialict :grin: ) have you seen the other new video that has his offering and demonstration for an 1800's brass range finder ? i'd like to have one, but not at $36 each off of ebay. get real ...

    paper cartridges

    deadidick, sorry i didn't get these posted earlier, but i didn't actually think this topic would generate 14+ pages of debate. others have done this cartridge thing with great success and here are some of their videos: CapandBall channel: "Making paper cartridges for percussion revolvers"...

    Remington Pocket Problems

    MattM01, i'm with zug - send it back. dixie and cabela both have "no questions asked" replacement policies and ,iirc, cabela even sends a prepaid return mailing label. i've done it myself to both places with good results, but call in advance to get a RMA (return merchandise allowance)...

    Buck N Ball In Percussion Pistol

    Capnballhunter, there's one other factor to consider - the twist of the rifling. in an experiment carried out with a modern .410 judge revolver, the twist caused the #9 and #8 birdshot to actually spin out and low to the right. even though both are smaller than a #4 buckshot, i don't think...
