    Value of NIB Zoli Harper's Ferry 58.?

    Just as the title says. I'm aware some frizzens need hardening. I'd like a rough estimate of its value as is. This one is NIB, the flinted hammer was dropped once by me, maybe twice by original owner. I don't have the SN right now, but can get it. I'll post pics tomorrow. It's in the safe...

    I tried .675 in my 14 GA, no go. Looking for a couple dozen .662 balls. I have honey from my own bees; a wildflower that's amazing. Let's talk.

    WANTED 45 Cal REAL conicals

    I have a 45 underhammer, Heritage Model, 1/48" twist. Before buying another bullet mold that doesn't group I'd like to try this. Does anyone cast the Lee REAL 45 conical? I'd like to try both the 200 and 250 grain bullet. They'd have to be very soft lead. I'm looking for 15-25 each. I...

    Best book for Atlas 12x36" lathe.

    I've had this lathe a while. Played with it, turned down, polished, cut off a few items. I'd like to do serious work; threading, boring, inside threading. I've watched some vids on YouTube, but I like books. I have South Bend's How to run a lathe, and the Operators manual from Atlas...

    You might be a redneck....

    I needed to go to the farm today and wanted to shoot my new to me 14 bore. I left my shotgun bag at a friend's, and had no 14 bore wads... but necessity is the Mother of invention. Ok..I need powder, shot, wads, caps, and measurer. Lucky I shoot 45-70. I grabbed an empty, 70 grains max...

    New to me 14 bore.

    I recently, like Monday, got a 14 gauge single shot. It's smooth but has rifle sights. That never stopped Dad from murdering quail with his Deerslayer. Anyway, I'm guessing a light 12 bore or heavy 16 load may be the ticket. And I'll definitely be looking for round ball. The bore mics...

    Deer bacon

    My dear friend passed and his wife gave me several boxes of cure. One was for Buckboard Bacon. Said it was for pork butts but any cut of meat would do. I took the flank steaks from a huge buck my brother shot and used the dry rub cure on it for 5 days, overhauling it twice. Next to my...

    Using .451 185gr bullets in 1858 Rem

    Been raining here, so was fondling my Pietta Remington clone. Has anyone used cast bullets for the 45 acp, such as the .451 185gr or 200gr bullets in their 44's? If so, what powder charge, which bullets? Thinking about heavier bullets than round ball. Thanks.

    Stitch holes in tanned hide

    Finally decided to try tanning a deer hide. A small doe I took this weekend. Fleshing the hide I got a few small holes in the hide. When should I try to stitch the holes? Now, or after I finish fleshing? Im guessing after salting it's too late. Thanks. Btw, I'm using a salt/alum mix...

    The Dry Ball isn't a new invention.

    Having more spare time on my hands of late I've been doing more reading, always a great pastime. In reading Captain Randolph Marcy's book, The Prairie Traveler, circa 1859, he speaks of the dreaded Dry Ball on page 152. "As incomprehensible as it may appear to persons accustomed to the use of...

    Trip to The Rifle Shoppe

    I have heard of The Rifle Shoppe for years, and just going off the name assumed it was somewhere in New England. Imagine my surprise when I googled it and it's not far (3 hrs) from me, near Oklahoma City. I called and spoke to Jane, she was very friendly and invited me to come visit her...

    Installing new hammers on my SXS

    I drove to The Rifle Shoppe Wednesday and spent several hours talking to Jesse and handling his huge collection of original guns and exact copies he had made from originals. I went to get replacement hammers for my William Moore shotgun. He had a pair of Dogs head hammers he had copied from a...

    Attention Britts...please help me out with grades of black powder

    I am currently reading Game Guns and Rifles, by Richard Akehurst. I am really enjoying the book, especially where he writes of charges used in muzzle loading guns (smooth for shot) and rifles. Several places he refers to the information on the case lid. Imagine a modern user with a 16 Bore...
