    CLOSED Bowie Knives For Sale

    I have been working with a maker in Pakistan to forge historical Bowie knives.

    Period Pistol & Revolver Cases

    Finding high quality pistol and revolver cases that look the part and don't cost an arm and a leg is tough. They really should have mortised in locks and hinges and the correct period details. There is one person I know of that sells period Colt style cases but they start around $200 and go up...

    1851 / 1860 Interchange

    Does a 1851 barrel and cylinder fit a 1860 Frame? Might look a little odd with the cut out area for the belted 1860 cylinder but it should fit correct?

    36 caliber Walker?

    The discussion on the 49 caliber Dragoon got me thinking, how much longer is the Walker cylinder then a 1851 and sleeved to 36 how much powder do you think it would hold? I imagine sleeving the barrel and cylinder would add some weight? Think the extra powder would burn or just follow the bullet...
