    new revolver, need help getting started

    Nipple wrenches can be an area that needs some specific attention. Different guns quite often need different wrenches. The right wrench will work quite well and the wrong wrench can damage the nipple or the wrench or both. Try to get or make a wrench that fits well and works well with your...

    Just got my Old Army Back from Ruger. Check this out!

    That is very welcome information. The one I have was purchased from the daughter of the original owner and she did not believe he ever fired it. I don't anticipate the need to return it to the factory for repairs anytime soon. It still gives one a good secure feeling to know that if the need...

    New double .50 cal. pistol from Pedersoli seen at Shot Show

    I don’t know the exact length of the barrels. It was in a glass display case on a wall a little above eye level. They might be about 12 inches. It had a large curved fluted wood pistol grip with a heavy looking metal butt piece. You are not supposed to take pictures at the Shot Show...

    New double .50 cal. pistol from Pedersoli seen at Shot Show

    I saw a new prototype double .50 caliber pistol at the Dixie Gun Works booth at the Shot Show in Orlando. Gloria, the Pedersoli rep was there and she explained that the gun was called the Howdah. It is named for the saddle used to ride elephants and this is where the gun was used for...

    First report on the new Crockett rifle.

    The Crockett is a very good gun. I really like mine. I have however had a similar experience. It feels as though the breech area is larger than the barrel bore diameter. This gives me the feeling that there is a ledge of some kind at the bottom of the bore. I have had that ledge grab a...

    Cabela's Blue Ridge rifles

    If you have any problems finding parts, contact Gloria at Pedersoli. She communicates with the folks at Dixie Gun Works, and I think they are one of Pedersolis main parts distributors. The contact information for Pedersoli is [email protected] If the correct parts cannot...

    Cabela's Blue Ridge rifles

    Why are parts a problem? You can get them through Cabelas, Dixie, Pedersoli, and probably several other vendors. Just wondering what the parts problem is.

    stuck ramrod help

    I can tell you how to stick a ramrod, but I'm not recommending that you do it. When you're shooting swab the barrel with bore cleaner and get it good and clean. Then take a couple of clean patches and get it dry. Now take a couple of dry patches that fit pretty snuggly and run it in just to...

    How do I adjust a sight?

    There are two ways to accomplish your objective. The rear sight will need to be moved to the left an appropriate amount to bring the poi into alignment with the poa, or the front sight will need to be moved to the right in it

    Kodiak Express Double Rifle

    No, I have not used minnies or any type of conical bullets in the Kodiak. I probably should have, and I do own some Lee R.E.A.L. bullet moulds, which stands for rifling engraved at loading, but I have not. I understand the barrel leading caused by minnies made of pure lead can be pretty severe...

    Kodiak Express Double Rifle

    I got this pm from a friend on the forum and I decided to answer it on the forum after alerting him that I would do so. Hello Chris, Just curious...do you cast your own round balls for your Kodiak 58 caliber? If so, what brand name of mould do you use and do you like it? Would you recommend...

    Kodiak Express Double Rifle

    Nord, I think about the hottest load I would use would be about 100 grains of Goex. I guess you could use more, but there is a point of diminishing returns where you have so much powder that some of it is ejected with the projectile and is not contributing to the muzzle energy, and can even...

    Stuck ball removed with lighter fliud charge?

    Now I remember reading that shooting the ramrod was something that was done in battle when you ran out of shot. The gun was useless anyway without any shot and if the enemy was coming at you, you used what you had. If the ramrod was all you had left, it was used as a projectile. It...

    Stuck ball removed with lighter fliud charge?

    Hey, there's another reason to use a range rod. In case you inadvertently leave your ramrod in the bore and shoot it away, never to be seen again, you will still have your factory rod left on the gun, lol! I always use a heavy brass range rod with the .58 calibers Zouave and the Enfield. They...

    Kodiak Express Double Rifle

    To answer one more question. I have never had a problem getting the projectiles to converge on the same point of impact at the specified distance of 75 yards. I suppose it might be a problem if you shot the gun at distances that varied greatly from this distance, since the regulation is for 75...
