    Why are Uberti pistol boxes so flimsy?

    Well, mostly inside. I've received Uberti boxes from Midway with the barrel sticking out the side.

    Waxing rifle stocks

    The usual way is to use mineral spirits (white spirits if you are from the UK). Either fold your rag over to a fresh spot frequently, or switch to a fresh rag as you work on different areas so that you are not just redistributing the wax to a new area but are removing it. Most stores that sell...

    Advice to new builders:

    Lots of good advice above ! My contribution is that "Sunlight is your Friend". I know it's hard, but if you can hold off on that next finishing step until after you've had a look at your project in sunlight you will often save yourself from having the choice of having to re-do something or live...

    To bend your barrel or not that is the question?

    I worked summers in a factory in Fitchburg, MA (Their relatives could be the makers of a paste wax ?). The call of "everyone outside to unload steel" meant a flatbed semi-trailer had pulled in with a load of 20 foot 1-1/4" steel bars. Their was no fork truck or overhead lift so it was all hands...

    New 1860 Army

    In a pinch half of a spring style wooden clothes pin makes an OK punch for wedge removal (you may have to flatten/narrow the end a bit with a file or sandpaper). I don't have enough plastic/dead blow/wooden mallets for every range box and cleaning kit so I drop a clothespin half in each of those...

    Neighbors tree has a wasp nest in it

    One summer when I was about 13 years old I spotted a bald faced hornet nest in our hemlock trees, about 6 or 7 feet above ground. At a distance of about 15 yards I threw a rock about the size of a golf ball at the nest thinking I'd probably miss. I dead center nailed it and immediately turned...

    Shipping Percussion Revolver?

    I had a lengthy discussion with a USPS clerk a year or so ago regarding a CVA rifle kit that I sold to a member here. At first the clerk refused to ship the rifle. I asked to see a supervisor. He looked up the relevant sections of the postal code and concluded it was OK to ship an ANTIQUE...

    screwdriver set

    I user the Wheeler 89 piece set. It has been fine, no breakage, but I haven't encountered a screw that needs the penetrating oil/heat/impact routine since I bought the set a couple of years ago. I wish Wheeler had used some of the blank space in the box so that I'd have space for a few bits I...

    Specific feedback on this specific anvil please.

    You could consider joining a blacksmiths group. Like the New England Blacksmiths ( New England Blacksmiths ). At every meet I've seen at least one anvil priced well below the going market rate. And you will meet a friendly group of people willing to share their knowledge. Many of them are...

    SOLD WTS Uberti 1860 Army

    Received this from Fireman 1 and have to say that he sent a well packed package. The gun is in almost new condition with light handling marks, a flawless bore, and a bank vault lockup. I'm well pleased. Well Done Fireman 1 !

    chisels....lesson learned.

    Please be aware that U.S. manufacturers of sandpaper seem to be adopting metric abrasive numbers. The numbers that we are accustomed to parallel the metric numbers (which are preface with the letter "P", such as P220) until about 220 grit. After that they gradually diverge until by the time you...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Looks like it would be great at cleaning also ! You could put a quick-change garden hose adapter on there and put a serious amount of water through a barrel. If you ever make some to sell put me on the list.

    To cut or not to cut??

    Beautiful lines the way the knife is. I would only cut it if I found that it interfered with a task I did often.

    OK now I’ve really screwed up. Options?

    I agree that the best practice is to strip off the entire finish. I'd do that because no matter how well you get the finish to match now it may age to a different color in the repaired area. Of course by then it may not matter as much to you. Also, I found that Tung oil diluted 50% with solvent...
