    Bonafide south Texas vegitarian coyote

    Haven't posted on MLF in quite a while, but I figured this would be a good way to start back up! Got the later shift for today, so I decided to go out and see what I could find. Made it out late, around 0615 and after light, so I wasn't expecting much. Busted twice by two sets of does, I was...

    New Zoli Zouave

    Picked this guy up in trade at a gun store yesterday. Of course, it's .58, and doesn't look like it's been really fired at all. A light ring in the hammer cup tells me it was dry fired a few times, but the light powder residue in the usual hiding spots says it hadn't been fired more than a few...

    '51 and '60 swapouts?

    I had the '51 and '60 taken down yesterday, and was looking at the grip frames. Could you not take the grip of the Army, and mount it to the Navy? You might have to adjust the hand spring a touch, but would it not fit on there fine, so you could have the Navy look with the larger Army grip...

    Re: '60 Army Range Report; BULLETS

    Here are the pics I promised. Same box of .454 Hornadys, Same 25gn FFF Jack's Powder, same backstop, same distance, same paper targets. Every '51 ball is like the pics, every '60 ball is like the pics. Add'l, the '60 deformation is always on the back of the ball, judging from the LL ring...

    '60 Army Range Report

    Ok, here's the range report for the Army I traded for a bit ago. Overall, I'm happy with the performance of the Army, but I do have a few issues to work out to get her in frequent-shooter shape. 25gn FFF Jack's Powder, .454 Hornadys, target +- 25m First off, a little eye-candy... I had...

    Good... Trade...

    Hehe, couldn't resist the DWW reference. So, I took the VZ-24 I don't shoot anymore down to a local gun store yesterday, and they took it in trade. For this: I will admit, I still like the look of the Navy better (the barrel, obviously), but Capper's right, they sure feel a lot better...

    '51 Navy repair update, & question

    Ok, so after some conferencing with both Don at the Possible Shop, and the gunsmiths at Traditions, things are settled. First off, I'd like to give Don props for his knowledge and efforts in squaring this away for me. The internals and the pin boring were not post-production after all. The...

    1851 SITREP

    Well, talked with Jason down at Traditions, and they are replacing the pins no problem. Interestingly enough though (I'm about to display my intense rookie-ness), the revolver I bought "new" from the Possible Shop is in fact used. The internals, internals fitting, and grips are not factory...

    Holy Crapoly!!

    You boys ever seen this happen before? Pietta, steel frame, 12 rds, RB, 30gns FF. Was just letting a friend of mine try her out!! There was no indication anything was wrong until I pulled the barrel to clean it...

    Nipples for SxS Spanish Shotgun

    Guys, Need a little help from you more technical guys... I have a Spanish SxS 12, mfg in 1974, and need new nipples for it. I'm not sure what size to get. The current nips are about the same height as the Treso on my Renegade, but the thread is finer. On the other hand, the threads are...

    Cheap 51 Navy .44 Barrels?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a cheap 51 Navy barrel to go on my .44 Pietta for a little project I have in mind. Best price I've found so far is $115. Used is just fine. Any ideas? I want to cut one off at the blocked part, to make a snub-nose. But, I plan on loading it with shot instead of...

    On my way!!

    Just bought a .50 FL barrel for the Renegade off eBay!! All I need now is a lock & flints for it, and I'm in business! Wish me luck!

    Someone to cut down a barrel

    Quick question, I'm looking to send off a barrel for my kids' .50 cal, to take off about 8", and crown the muzzle for easier loading. Any suggestions on who I should send this off to? Thanks!

    Powder Order

    Hey, Just wanted to give anyone in the SATX area the heads-up, I'll be making a big powder purchase from Powder Inc. soon. If anyone needs some, and wants to get in on the order to reduce costs, let me know! I'm thinking about the end of March.

    Will this work on my Renegade?

    Mine has a set trigger, will this lock work to convert from percussion to flint? ToW Link Thanks!

    Spring build

    If I like flintlocks, then I'm looking to try and put together a Baker this spring. With all the talk about how terrible TRS is, I'm nervous to buy the parts from them. What's your opinion of TOW's parts, would it be money well spent?

    Am I setting myself up for failure?

    I currently have four cap-whackers, and am looking to expand into flinters. Here's my question: The only flinter I'm interested in is a Baker rifle. **Yes, I know that will change once I have one, I "only wanted a '51 Navy" when I started out, and since then haven't fired center-fire except...

    Crazy T/C Renegade Idea...

    There's a group going out in a few weeks on a dove hunt, and Mama says I can go. :bow: Problem: I don't have a BP shotty (and not quite enough $ to pay $600 for one right now). I would really like to not shoot lame-o centerfire. Thought: I do have a .50 Renegade. Wonder what would...
