    Replica Arms Wesson .45

    Any of you folks have experience with one of these? I traded for one some time ago. Looking it over, I figured out it had close to a 24” twist so have not even tried round balls. Got in a LEE 300gr Improved Minnie mold & plan to try those when it cools off enough to enjoy a day at the range...

    T/C Renegade / GM .58

    Just got this T/C Renegade w/ a Green Mountain .58 RB barrel. Anxious to get some range time with it; ought to be a great shooter!

    Uberti Cattleman

    Any of you boys shoot one of these? I just picked this up & am anxious to give it a spin. Don't know what it's really good for but I think it's cool. Underpowered for deer & overkill for squirrels but ought to be fun.

    Ready for M/L deer season

    I got out for a short session to verify my zero & grouping with my "Project Hawken" (Cabela's Hawken w/GM .50 RB barrel). Here's 3 @ 50 yards: 75gr SWISS FFg, .495 Hornady swaged ball, .018 patch w/homebrew lube. She'd been loaded since Monday & went off fine. AR M/L season starts Satuday...

    Sure-fire loading technique

    I started shooting muzzleloaders over 30 years ago when I built a flintlock pistol kit while going to college, & hunted with only frontstuffers for some years(flintlock squirrel rifle, caplock shotgun, & various caplock "Hawkens" but got away from it for a while. I'm back big time & am anxious...

    Walker on the way!

    Ozark57 has been on the road all week calling on customers. He called the other night from a big Cabela's in WV to ask if I wanted a NIB Uberti Walker for $219. What could I say?? He'll be in this evening w/ my new horse pistol :)

    Project "Hawken"

    A bud gave me a Cabela's "Hawken" built from a kit. The stock was awful; no attempt at fitting the furniture & laquer or something brushed on with runs all over. I stripped the stock & spent some time properly fitting & finishing it. The barrel was lightly pitted, which didn't concern me too...

    Double rifles?

    Anybody shoot a double? I've got an itch for one & would like to hear your experiences with them. Seems like I've read some horror stories about them not being regulated very well or at all.

    'nother Remmie

    I fell off the wagon AGAIN :idunno: Got a 36 Navy Remington coming. Oh well; I DID manage 9 weeks w/o buying a C&B :shocked2: Pics & initial impressions when it gets here.

    "Pointability" Army vs Navy

    Just took delivery of my new-to me Pietta '60 Army. Left my '51 Navy at the shop :cursing: so can't compare them side to side tonight but my initial feeling is that the Army isn't quite as quick & "lively" as the Navy. Guess that's why Wild Bill favored the Navy??

    Pietta '58 Remington

    I've been on a Colt replica kick lately but a local gunshop had a NIB Cabela's(Pietta) Remmie at a price I couldn't refuse, even though I've been trying(unsuccessfully) to curb my buying. I like it! Got home with it last evening. Stripped & polished the internals & stoned most of the creep out...

    Colt front sights

    Looking for tips here from those who have changed the front sight on Colt replicas. What have you used? I just got a Pietta '51 Navy & like the feel but would like to get it shooting closer to point of aim at 20-25 yards without messing up the looks too much. I can cut dovetails if necessary or...

    Coyotes

    What do you boys think when you happen across coyotes while deer hunting? I've seen quite a few in the last few deer seasons & thought it was neat to see them & especially to watch when they didn't see me 1st. Some guys I've chatted with shoot them on sight but I just haven't wanted to. If you...

    Addiction

    A year ago, I didn't own a functional M/L handgun; just a .45 flinter built from a kit many years ago & undergoing a rebuild. Here's my motley collection today, & it's all y'all's fault :nono: The ASM Walker has been a great frustration. The ROA is a wonderful piece of machinery. I can...

    Pocket Remington

    I just snagged a brass frame CVA 31 cal Pocket Remington on Gunbroker. Any of you guys messed with one? It ought to be fun to tinker on & plink with.

    Berryville AR fall shoot

    Just got back from the Berryville shoot. Nice day here & had a great time. Picked up a couple #'s of Swiss powder & some other goodies from the numerous vendors. I was chatting with a fellow shooting a Ruger Old Army & he asked if I'd like to give it a try. Nice fellow. I remembered how much I...

    Clay pigeons?

    Just got back from the fall M/L shoot at Berryville AR. Hung out at the shotgun range for a bit & those guys were having too much fun. I'm going to take my 12ga double to spring shoot & get in on the fun. Great bunch of people there.

    Ethan Allen target pistol

    Just got this yesterday. I was apprehensive about shooting it after reading all the posts here. Guess I got lucky; this one works fine. I had one misfire in 20 or so shots and groups were good. :grin:

    Walker on the way

    I couldn't resist the temptation any longer. Got a used Walker on the way for my b'day present to me. I've developed a bit of an addiction to c&b revolvers and just have to try the big dog. :) 'been reading all the relevant posts here and it looks like fun! Guess I'd better stock up on FFFg.

    Glass bed??

    I'm almost done refinishing the stock on a very poorly done "Hawken" kit I recently traded for and the idea of glass bedding it occured to me. Is it worth the effort on a Hawken-style rifle? Anybody have before/after stories? I've taken to pillar bedding my cartridge bolt guns and even the last...
