    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...

    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...

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

    I went out looking for anything muzzle loading and after visiting several gunshops, finally hit pay dirt at one shop, they used to carry bp but haven't had any in months. I did ask if they had any #10 or #11 caps. They dropped 5 tins of musket caps and charged me $8 a tin, plus they threw in a...

    Curious about nipples

    No not that kind of nipples, get yer minds out of the gutter.... Back years ago I used to buy nipples for my Remington cap and ball revolvers. I have one 1858 .44 Uberti and 3 Pietta 1858 Remington .44 Revolvers. Back then I it seems like I bought a pack of 6 generic nipples and using...

    First the ammo now the guns????

    I have been going through a lot of the dealers and it seems like everything is out of stock. I was looking for a .31 Remington Pocket pistol steel frame and they are out of stock. I went through Taylors and almost every gun is out of stock. What is going on? First the ammo now the guns...

    Queen Anne Flintlock want to get a decent lock

    Back a few years ago I was in a gun store and they had this flintlock kit. It was labeled "Queen Anne" on the box and is a flintlock. I bought it cheap because they wanted to get rid of it. I think I paid around a $100 bucks for it. The gun is nice but the lock sucks. It will not make a...

    Who all has the .36 Ducksfoot

    Just wondering how many of you have one and shoot it? I have one and it is a blast (literally and figuratively) to shoot. Not the most accurate gun but then accuracy wasn't what it was for, shooting into a crowd means you are going to hit something....or someone.

    1851 Navy Pepperbox

    I got my latest BudK catalog and they are selling a "1851 Pepperbox". Basically it is a 1851 .36 revolver without a barrel. You load the cylinders and fire right out of the cylinder. I wager the range is terrible but up close it might be deadly.... It is made by Pietta. Looks kinda cute...

    A 6 shot revolving Flintlock pistol

    Came across this and found it interesting...a 6 shot flintlock that all you have to do is cock the trigger which rotates the cylinder and fire 6 times..already primed. Whoever came up with this was a genius...

    Repeating firearm offered to Continental Congress

    Found this rather interesting. So the founding fathers would have been aware of repeating arms when they wrote the 2nd Amendment..

    Questions about the Pipsqueak .31 Remington revolver

    I have a .31 Remington and enjoy shooting it but it brings up questions. Apparently the .31 Caliber (in Remington and Colt and other makes) was popular but I wonder just how effective it would be when the dang RB bounces off a balloon.. (Humor there OK) It seems like it would have little to no...

    Repairing a Uberti .44 Remington hammer

    Not sure if this goes here or not. Back in 1973 I bought a used Uberti .44 Remington Revolver. The previous owner had antiqued it and installed bone grips and brazed the front sight so it shot dead on. Unfortunately he (I am presuming it was a "he") had ground down the hammer so it had a VERY...

    Metric Uberti .44 Remington Revolver??

    Not sure if this goes here or in the Workshops section. Back in 1973 I bought a used Uberti .44 Remington Revolver. The previous owner had antiqued it and installed bone hand grips and brazed the front sight so it shot dead on. Unfortunately he (I am presuming it was a "he") had ground down...

    Question about Replacing a Flintlock

    Back a couple of years ago, I was rummaging around in a junk store (sort of like an antique store only the stuff was not as nice). Anyway, I came across a flintlock pistol. It looks kind of like a Tower Flintlock pistol. It looks almost like a 12 gauge bore with the nice brass furniture on it...

    Hi new member from Lost Wages Nevada..

    Hello the fire... Just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I got my first muzzle loader back around 1973. It was a Uberti Remington revolver. I bought it from a gun store, it was second hand. Who ever had owned it, had put bone handles on it, browned it, and bronzed and raised the front...

    Question on a Belgium musket...

    Back a few years ago came across this smoothbore musket. Apparently the owner died and the next of kin didn't want it so I got it free. There are no markings on the gun. And the only reason I say it is from Belgium is the tag that is on the gun. The tag states: MFGR Belgium CAL 69 CODE...
