    Shooting glasses

    I had cataract surgery several years ago. My vision is 20/20...but the target is always more than 20' away. I have tried so many different configurations of glasses, it's almost mind boggling. I know that when I can see the target and the sights at the same time, I can hit what I'm aiming at...

    Wingert 36

    Contemplating buying a Wm Wingert .36 half stock. The place that has it is only 90 miles away and I've bought stuff from them before. The bore looks good, the wood is VERY NICE..and the price is attractive. Before I do anything, I research everything...but all I can find about this rifle, or the...

    CVA St. Louis Hawken rescue

    I just scored an EARLY CVA Hawken. Got it cheap because it has issues...I'm looking to get some kind of information about parts, since the major problems concern the lock. I was intrigued by the 5 screw patchbox. I have not seen one like this before. When I actually have the rifle in hand...

    1997 Traditions Deerhunter

    Just scored a 1997 Traditions .50 cal percussion Deerhunter, I'm going to call it a carbine, since it "only" has a 24" barrel. Looks like it's stainless steel, including the lock...The stock is wood, but painted black ( I have a can of ZipStrip)....Should have it by next weekend. Any info on...

    New rifle for Christmas

    My wife claims she never knows what to get me for Christmas, so this year, she blindly guessed and hit the target in the X ring. She got me a Traditions .50 Kentucky kit. I have never owned anything new, so not only will this fill my need to tinker and create, but it will also give me a third...

    "Springfield Hawken" out to the range today

    It's going to be winter here in about 15 minutes, so I took advantage of the "warm" weather this morning for a trip to the range to test the (I think) Ardesa I bought a few weeks ago. Took a little GoPro video of the first shot, and the first shot with 400 gr conicals. The targets pretty much...

    New project. Pre-lawyer Springfield Hawken

    Bid on this on Gunbroker. I bid low, and to my surprise, I won it. I had forgotten I even bid! Came today from Iowa...My problem with projects is I want to start on them and finish them asap. Scope rings came off right away. I was a flat rate master auto tech for my "working" life, so I approach...

    CVA Bobcat

    About 50+ years ago I had a H&A Underhammer in .45. I sold it and have not replaced it. I was thinking of getting back into long arms, and there were a couple of .50 CVA Bobcats on GunBroker. One of them is 80 miles away from me, and I'm seriously thinking about bidding on it. I read some online...

    ASM .36 Navy built from parts

    Maybe I should divide this into two posts...the easy stuff and the hard stuff...Easy (relatively) was finding the parts. Gun shows, GunBroker, eBay, DeerCreek and some leftover stuff I had. What I couldn't find, I made, or made work. I got a nice used .36 brass frame. I was surprised to...

    American Pioneer Powder, aka CleanShot

    Picked up a pound of this stuff today. From what little data I can find, it loads the same, 1:1 as black and Pyrodex...going to try it out tomorrow in both the .36s and in one of the .44s...If it's as good as they claim, I won't have much cleaning to do. Anyone have any experience, good or bad...

    Griswold and Gunnison

    I really hate Gunbroker. I find so much stuff there I want....I just won and auction...but I paid a bit more than I wanted to. I got a misidentified (as an 1860 Army, single shot) Griswold and Gunnison by Uberti. The code from the pictures is either XX or XXI...so '64 or'65...Marked on the...

    DART 1851 .36 5" barrel...

    DART....Looking at one for sale locally this weekend. Can't find much info on it's actual maker. Could be either Pietta or ASM, from what I have found. Looks pretty nice in the pictures, and he doesn't want too much for it....Anyone know it's probable parentage?

    New member from Wisconsin

    I've been shooting various types of firearms since I was 8...or 60 years ago...I used to have a couple of BP guns, but that was before Pyrodex. I recently bought a Pietta 1851 "Navy" brass frame .44 and I've been having a really good time with it. So much so that I also have a Remington 1858 and...
