    If you could own only one

    Since I only do have 1 I guess it's the one I like the best, a 1851 .36 colt. I wouldn’t mind a 1861 though :wink That 1851 is the only pistol I seem good at shooting so I stopped looking. Lehigh...

    lead toxicity and regulations

    If I'm reading that right, greater than 10 lg/dl. That is lower than mine when tested a few years ago and would seem low to my 17 lg/dl. Lehigh...

    Carrying on empty

    Lets faces the facts. We are taking about a gun. Putting the hammer on a empty chamber or a safety notch does not make it safe. The person makes it safe. If Colt made the gun with safety notches in 1851 I'm sure they put them there to be used as a safety notch. Other wise they would be called...

    Priming powder location in the pan

    I've have seen black powder form like this as well.I don't think it takes all that much to form one. Looking at the photos it's a little easyer to see why a finch might happen when you fire a flint lock. :rotf: Lehigh...

    Storing flints in water keeps 'em fresh.

    This is from 1793-94. When the nodules come out of theearth they sometimes contain to much moisture which may be seen when flaking them and which colectcts at the center in droplets. These cannot be worked properly. The flint workers let them dry for a few hours in the summer in the sun, in the...

    Do you believe

    Believe me anything is possible. After working on production machines run by (I can't say) and idiots, if it can happen it will happen. :shake: I say, What happened? I hear, I don't know It was running and it just stopped! Twisted shafts stripped gears broken over engineered parts. I get. I...

    Help with 1860 Colt

    My 1851 Pietta has the same marks. The origal trigger bolt spring was so stiff that it was penning the cylinder notch. When it broke the spring I made was a lot weaker. Did does not mark the cylinder any more. It just might be a real heavy spring. :hmm: Lehigh...

    How do you clean flints between shots?

    I just use the end of the strip of patch I'm cutting from. That’s only if it's wet outside. In the winter when it's dry I use the screw drive to clean the dry gunk off the pan and don't usually touch the flint. Lehigh...

    Nipple size
