    What Method for Removing Broken Screw?

    It's about 1/4" below the depth of the inlet for the wedge plate. Everyone has given great advice, thank you! I'll keep you posted on the results.

    What Method for Removing Broken Screw?

    Finally getting around to building the Hawken pistol my father gave me for Christmas in 1981! Some time ago I attempted to fit the wedge plates and broke a brass screw off inside the walnut stock. The remnant is about 1/4" deep. What would be the best way to remove this broken screw without...

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    Some folks believe in and support the Constitution, some folks don't. A pedo ought to be executed. That's their debt to society.

    Shotgun came already loaded.

    Oldest photograph of a dog.

    My daughter was given several dogs that had bitten people and were unruly because they had not been properly trained. She took them out to several friends farms where they were trained (by the pack and people) to hunt and become more sociable around people. It worked.

    Oldest photograph of a dog.

    This is the oldest photo with a dog in our family that I'm aware of. This is my grandfather as a young man in the early 1930s with his dog on the hunt:

    Muzzleloader Confiscated at Mass. Airport

    You're absolutely right, under Federal Law and the laws of many states it is an antique firearm and antique firearms are not firearms. As they tell us, ignorance of the law is no excuse. But they have guns and badges and will use them and there's not enough of us who are willing to stand up to...

    Check out the Treasure Coast Muzzleloading Club, they have their own range in Hobe Sound I believe. Some fellas on here are long time members of the Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club, not a muzzleloader club per se but they have great facilities that also cater to smoke poles and cap and ball...

    pedersoli double 20g flint

    Basketweave appeals to my eyes, I'd love to have one. Not sure I want to part with my 1970s Pedersoli to get it yet though.

    Cased set of Colt 1860 revolvers.

    Did Colt make these or did someone put this together? Know about the Colt Cavalry 200th Anniversary set of 1860s but never saw these before but that doesn't mean it wasn't so! Thanks for posting.
