    ebay finds

    I see quite a lot of guns for sale on ebay that were taken apart and sold as individual lots like a stock and barrel together. It referred to another lot as something that can be used with it. This other lot was the lock and trigger. I saw the same thing done with a Walker revolver that had...

    newbies like to learn thing from the masters, please forgive me.

    There is one manufacturer that recommends 4F in their BP revolvers; NAA for their Companion series mouse killers. From the instruction sheet: "Using the furnished powder measure (which holds 2.5 grains black powder FFFFH or Pyrodex, for the NAA Companion LR, and 4 grains for the NAA Companion...

    newbies like to learn thing from the masters, please forgive me.

    I know this thread has been worn a bit thin with some semi off-topic posts, but to hopefully put the 4F part to rest, Sparkitoff's post (#61) seems to be a safe and logical solution to the "4F as a main charge" controversy. I'm no rocket scientist, but his experiment in using it seems to shed...

    New lube.

    Thanks AZbpBurner. I figured that out with help from the forum and made a dozen 5 to 1 patches to test but the snow that's still on the ground and more coming today has put any testing on hold. Our local range becomes a wading pool and mud pit when it gets wet and the neighbors complain when a...

    Taking care of the wood.

    Another plug for Renaissance Wax/Polish. I use it on antique lamps and cameras as well as the wood and metal on firearms and it actually does a pretty good job of lifting dirt and grime that you thought you had already removed. I'm on my second 200 ml can....should have bought the pail but the...

    My Walkers only drop the lever when I load them with too much powder. Under 50 grains is the cutoff for having the lever stay in place. Easier on the wrist too...!!

    coon fat for tallow?

    First post here after lurking and learning a lot for a while. I found jars of beef and bison tallow at a grocery store the other day and I'm curious as to what the difference is, other than the $1.00 difference between the two. Thanks for any info! Dave C (aka dixie5032 which stands for two DGW...

    Historicly correct

    I'm a newbie to this forum but have been on this earth going on 70 years now. I come here to learn, and yes, you can teach an Old Dog new tricks! I've seen forums come and go because of what happens when folks get their feathers ruffled over things that when all is said and done, do not really...
