    Question about making wad

    I don't use pay pal because they require way to much info to set up a account. I didn't know they where anit gun but that is another reason not to use them. I have a buddy in a welding shop maybe he could make me up a set like your talking about M.D. Thanks for that info

    Question about making wad

    I looked at ebay but with shipping yours still in the $16-20 range. Maybe after Christmas the demand might come down. I did find some a harbor freight http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-hollow-punch-set-3838.html The 3/8 should work for 36 but the 7/16 might be to small for the 44.

    Question about making wad

    I am thinking about making my own wads for my cap n ball revolvers. But to looking at punches they run $20-30 each. I know they should last me for ever but for $30 I could buy a lot of premade wads. So I'm thinking of a cheaper way. Anyone use brass cases from modern ammo for a punch? A 45...

    1851 Confederate Navy .44

    I have a few Pietta they are very well made. As others have said keep the charge under 25 grains and it will last you years. I know a lot of people don't like the brass frames but they will last a long time. I would guess 99% of us will only ever shoot paper or steel targets so you don't need...

    Black Powder Revolver?

    Very nice looking pistol. They are addicting I have a few I haven't even shot yet. But still thinking I need to get one of each of the revolvers and build a kit rifle. I haven't sold any modern rifles but I can say they have taken a back seat to black powder I really enjoy them.

    CVA Hawkins 50 cal

    Passed on the rifle. He wouldn't move on the price and my gut said to wait. I will go back in a week or so and see what he says then. I bought some cap and ball pistols from them a week or so ago and they had sit there for months.

    CVA Hawkins 50 cal

    Thanks everyone I am going back right after work today and see if I can pick it up. I carry a flash light with me and I looked down the barrel it was clean all the way no rust and I didn't see any pitting but it was a quick look. Didn't think about it being loaded when I was looking down the...

    CVA Hawkins 50 cal

    I found a CVA hawkins 50 cal muzzleloader at a local pawn shop but not sure if its a good deal or not. The rifle looks to be in very nice condition barrel looks clean no rust inside. Some discoloring around the nipple maybe some old rust that got cleaned up. The wood looks like its new so this...

    Well I went in today and picked it up. Got it for $125 and I already found a replacement screw. I repair copiers and looking in my old box of screws I found some with machine treads and color.
