    Is it recommended to bore out cylinder to barrel diameter on Italian replica revolvers?

    After reading online that chamber dimensions differ from the bore on these replica revolvers, I measured my cylinder chambers on my Pietta replica Colt and Remington and sure enough my cylinder chambers are smaller than the bore. On my 1860 the cylinder chambers measure between .448" and .450"...

    I purchased a replacement hand and spring unit for the spring which broke on my 1860 replica but now realize the hand requires some fitting as the entire cylinder binds up and hammer won't even go to full cock with it installed. Does anyone offer a service to just re-spring the broken unit which...

    I have a CVA lock for sale for $50 shipped. Good condition wtih signs of use with minor freckling or surface rust discoloration and works just fine. It measures about 5" long and I believe it goes to the earlier CVA model Hawken rifle because of the flat spring. I think in later years in the...

    How did American forces reload in battle?

    I was wondering about this the other day. For irregular forces like the militia who used their own rifles and were not issued paper cartridges, how did they measure powder for reloads in the heat of battle? Did they really take the time to put powder from the flask into a charge measure before...

    The spring broke on my Uberti 1860 hand pawl. I am having a hard time finding a replacement, there aren't too many vendors and the ones I find are out of stock. Do you guys have any sources?

    Starting out casting balls and bullets

    How hard is it to do and what equipment would you recommend for a beginner? I've seen a couple of electric melting pots, is this the way to go for modern efficiency? I know you can melt lead over a campfire so I'm not talking about historically correct, just something for someone who lives in...
