    Interesting cap jam solution for open top revolvers

    I just file the sharp edges on the hammer slot. Problem solved. Something the manufactures should do when making revolvers.

    I have a chance to buy these.

    I have one of those Miroku's in .45 for years now. Great shooter, but $100 out the door would be what I would offer.

    Sizing minie balls

    Once bought a Mississippi rifle an some minies. Sizers were unavailable, or sold out at the time. My solution at the time was to take a piece of flat metal( wood would work) and gently press and roll the minie until it starts in the bore easy enough. Now, I still use that method.

    New Orleans Ace

    At one time I had 2 of those. I had to order.424 balls for it. Even .433 balls were too big fore the barrel. Things could of changed over the years. I suggest that checking with a caliper would be wise.

    Firing a Cap Before Loading

    Well, I run a dry patch down the barrel, and then a pick through the nipple. Same thing, but the chambers in my revolvers instead of the barrel. Save my caps for shooting.

    1860 vs 1851 Issues

    This is what works for me: take an Arkansas sharpening stone, or something similar, and polish the hammer where it contacts the caps until it shines. If the hammer has the safety slot that fits over the pins, take a small file, and knock off the sharp edges, especially at the bottom of the...

    like to identify an percussion shotgun made in jodhpur india

    I have one also, I think it is a real quality shotgun. Only bad thing is it is a little heavy for walking in the woods all day.

    Triple 777 shooting and cleaning experiance needed please

    I use it in my revolvers, no problems. This is to conserve my real black powder for my rifles. No place to buy the real stuff here in north Texas.

    CVA Colonial Pistol

    Went back, it sold yesterday at $60, today was half price day. Did not have $60 on me yesterday. Have a Kentucky and Mountain pistol, but seldom see a Colonial around my parts.

    CVA Colonial Pistol

    Thanks, checked Deer creek, out of trigger guards. Think I will go get it. Probably will find any parts needed as time goes by.

    CVA Colonial Pistol

    Saw a kit at an estate sale today. A few things may be missing. Did not see a trigger guard though. Would the Kentucky pistol guard maybe interchangeable? Could get it for $30 tomorrow, but not sure if I could find any missing parts as needed. Had the barrel, nipple, lock, side plate, stock, and...

    Shotgun short starter

    Just bought a like new 12 gauge Pedersoli. No choke tubes. One barrel is really snug when checking the barrels for cardboard wad fit. Do not see any markings on the barrel referring to choke size. Does anyone have to use a short starter on their shotguns?

    Griswold Frame Stretch?

    Is there a way to fix a hammered ring? I bought a G and G, for real cheep, with this issue. Thought I could fix it somehow, but could not come up with any ideas.

    1858 Remmy Shortie

    Thanks, but I was referring to the picture of the brass revolver. Handled one at the local pawn shop. Identical to the picture. You could pull out the cylinder pin real easy. Not sure how the pin would stay in place under recoil.

    1858 Remmy Shortie

    I saw a brasser snubbie just like that. I passed because I was not sure how the cylinder pin would stay in place when fired. Am I missing out on something, because otherwise I would have bought it?
