    4F and small caliber guns

    Thanks for the responses... I have been wondering. I was at a gun store and the only thing they had was 4F so I bought a can. Had it setting around and figured I would try it but wasn't sure. Don't want to blow up my guns.

    4F and small caliber guns

    I have a .22 pepperbox and a .31 caliber Remington Revolver. They are severely underpowered and was wondering if I used 4f in them would that be OK. Normally I use 3F but want a bit more power out of them. I saw a thread about 4F and Flintlocks and the consensus was to not use them as main...

    Aged Revolvers

    This is the first BP gun I ever bought a Uberti Remington .44. I got it back in 1973 when I joined the Air Force. I bought it just as it sits. The previous owner had antiqued it, put bone grips on it, put in a light spring, and braised the front sight higher. It had a super light hair...

    Loading shot without wads

    I went to Tandy Leather and not sure what it is called but it is made for stamping and using punches. It is a big black square and it works great. It absorbs the punch and I have used it for leather work and for pretty much anything I need to punch holes in, or cut wads etc. I found it...

    Little brass cannon, again

    I used to love fire crackers. I don't know how many cannons, rifles, and pistols I made that I used them in. Slide the cracker in and make sure the fuse stuck out of the end, throw a bunch of BB's, rocks and whatever down the barrel and light it... I made a cannon out of a block of wood, a...

    The Puckle, the Girandoni rifle and Ferguson guns

    There is also Samuel Pauly's shotgun which was one of the first cartridge guns in 1812. He jumped from the flintlock to the cartridge gun. Now would this be legal to talk about on the forum?

    The Puckle, the Girandoni rifle and Ferguson guns

    When anti-gunner claim that our forefathers had no clue about anything more advanced than muskets bring up these... I came across references to these guns and was wondering why some enterprising person didn't start making them just for kicks. Back years ago in the NMLRA Muzzleblasts magazine...

    Need info to function 45 cal cva Kentucky

    Back in the 80's I won a CVA Kentucky Rifle Percussion kit. It was a .45 caliber. I put it together and shot it quite a bit. My son bought the same kid and had some trouble putting it together so I traded him and built that one. It also shot quite well. I used .440 round balls in it with a...

    Have you defarbed your percussion revolver?

    My Uncle who is a machinist and metal worker changed the tailgate on his Chevrolet truck to say "Chevrolay".... Does that count LOL

    Have you defarbed your percussion revolver?

    I bought the Uberti 1858 Remington .44 this way by former owner back in 1973. Haven't done anything to it externally. Had to replace hammer and trigger when they wore down so it wouldn't go to full cock. Still has a hair trigger. After 50 years of shooting it has a nice worn look... I have...

    Las Vegas Rendezvous

    Do the The Spring Mountain Free Trappers exist anymore? I cannot find any info on them anywhere. It seems like Las Vegas would be a good area for muzzle loading groups but there are not even any good stores here that sell BP and supplies.

    Finding caps in Vegas is a pain, plus no good muzzle loading stores here anymore

    Looks like I am going to have to go that way. I think there is a Buckskinning group here and I am going to contact them and see if something can be worked out. I also know there is a group of CW re-enactors here too. Man I miss Ray's Beaver Bag...

    Finding caps in Vegas is a pain, plus no good muzzle loading stores here anymore

    A Zouave Carbine?? By any chance is that a Buffalo Hunter by Navy Arms? That is what I have... I love it and it is one awesome shooter. I put a tang sight on it since my old eyes are a bit hard to see things... I love it. I have both the musket nipple and the regular "cap" nipple in the...
