    New flintlock

    Bought my first flintlock. Got new flints but the frizzen is well used and seems kind of slick. Is there a way to rough it up without hurting the hardening?

    Johnson 1836 Conversion Pistol

    I would appreciate observations and thoughts on authenticity, condition and value. The sheer age of this gun intrigues me, considering bidding. Has cartouche and inspector marks.

    Remington Old Army Restore

    What would you need to do to "restore" this gun if anything? Specifically, the pitting on the barrel and cylinder. Is there a way to clean this up or is it just better to leave it alone?

    Naval Guns

    Here's a shot of a fully functional, rifled naval gun at the Civil War Naval Museum at Columbus, Ga. Not sure of caliber. I watched this gun fire. It was awesome! Wish I had one. This one doesn't fire but it's the biggest one I've ever seen! Here's one inside a ironclad mockup...

    Gunstock Shaping Ripoff

    I sent a walnut blank and my 46" 62 caliber fowler barrel to Virgil Otto at Gunstocks Plus for shaping. Everyone else I talked with was too far backed up. His quote of $165 plus $45 shipping was to include shaping and drilling of ramrod hole. Here is a pic of what I got back. The stock is...

    The Latest Scam

    Here's a guy offering what he claims is a 1780 Flintlock. There's no date or maker's mark on the lock anywhere. So I asked what proof does he have of it's authenticity? Here's the answer I got: "This type of lock was pretty much discontinued being made approx 1825. My estimate of age is...

    Original 1851 Navy?

    So here's another "original" 1851 Colt Navy being offered for sale. Here's a pic of the barrel address. Shouldn't this be one line? Was it ever made with 2 lines like this one? And does this cylinder look right?

    Gun Cleaning

    I know this topic has been kicked around on this forum for years, but I need some advice. I’ve been reading posts for years about cleaning your gun just using hot water and dish soap. I have not had any success with dish soap or any other bore cleaner. Here’s my cleaning method: I swab the...

    Civil War shotgun?

    Ok, here's my next challenge. The seller claims this to be a very rare 1840's to 1860's Double Barrel 12 ga Belgium Liege shotgun brought into the country during the Civil War. So I pointed out to him that The Belgium proof marks I see in the pics are proofs used from the early 1800's thru the...

    Permalyn?

    So on my last gun build I used Permalyn as it was touted as impervious to gun cleaning chemicals. Put it over my Aquafortis treatment. Got a great finish on the gun. The first time I cleaned the gun with my Hornady Muzzle Cleaner solution a drip ran down the stock and stripped the Permalyn right...

    1860 Colt Original?

    This Colt is being offered at a recognized on-line antique gun auction site as an original. It is in pristine shape, no scratches, dings or any sign of wear. All machined edges are shape and all screws look untouched. There is no scene on the cylinder. Barrel address is correct. The serial...

    Zouave

    I have an old Zoli Zouave 58 cal rifled musket. The barrel and hardware are in good shape and it shoots fine. I have refinished all the hardware and tried my best to make the birch stock look walnut, but it still isn't quite there. Found a true walnut stock at S&S Firearms but they want $275...

    Conicals
