    SOLD Replica Arms 1862 Colt Pocket Police Date Code 1973 Updated

    I've got a Uberti made 1862 Pocket Police sold by Replica Arms Marietta, Ohio. Date code is XX9, which from my research here is 1973. I've had this a few years now and fired it perhaps 100 times. It's been carried on the canoe during squirrel season. Good stuff. It's showing it's age but never...

    Pedersoli Smoothbore Mod

    I have surplus of .36 rifles as I just picked up a percussion Pedersoli Frontier in .36 for an unbelievable price. I couldn't say no. I want to turn this into a .50 caliber smoothbore, just because. I have reached out to Mr. Hoyt but I can't get him on the phone. He seems to be the go-to guy...

    DIY Loading Block

    I was goofing around today and made myself a loading block for my two .36 rifles. I had a piece of purpleheart laying around left over from making some knife scales a few years ago. I rough shaped it with a coping saw and made the holes with a hand drill and a 3/8ths bit. The holes are a bit...

    New Flint Wallet and Ball Bag

    I just got a new flint wallet and ball bag from Cory Joe Stewart at Long Branch Longrifles to go with the powder horn I got from him a while back. Great stuff. Putting all of this together for my .36 Kibler SMR that I'm working on (slowly).

    Made the Kibler Leap

    After a couple of years of waffling I finally ordered a Jim Kibler kit today. I think my wife got tired of me fawning over the pictures on Jim's website and said "Just do it, already." I'm going with the SMR in .36 caliber in cherry. I've got a box of cherry scraps coming that I bought off Etsy...

    Casting Issue

    I've recently started casting balls for my black powder guns and I've run into something that I'm trying to remedy. When casting .690 round balls I get these very noticeable striations on the surface. This doesn't occur when casting .445 or .375 round balls. In all cases I'm using RCBS aluminum...
