    Short Barrel Rifles verses Long Barrel Rifles test. Details Below...

    Longer barrels get you closer to the target. Everybody knows that!🤣

    To go back and visit? You bet I’d go. It would be a fantastic shopping trip! Pic up some of those original firearms that I can’t afford today. But I have to be home by 4 o’clock to feed my cats and watch X Files!

    Advice on getting started crafting.

    The Book”s” of Buckskinning is a great place to start. That’s where I started. Now I have a bookcase full of books on gun building, horns, bags, cartridge boxes, camp equipment, clothes, etc. Then there is the shelf full of books on 18th century food ways. Preservation, cooking, making, stills...

    What should I use to polish and smooth tumbler and lock pieces?

    I left some parts to be blued with a very reputable gunsmith in my area. Took two years to get my parts done! No thanks. If there is the slightest possibility that I can do it my self, I will do it. There’s so many on line resources to use. This works for me. After many years I still use...

    Newbie from..."gulp"...Seattle area... :/

    Washington is a pretty place but………! Now me, I’m from Northern California and spent the better part of 50 years getting out of that (Insert several really nasty and profane words)!!! Now I live in Eastern Tennessee and I thank God for it. So welcome!👍🤣👍

    Ease and accuracy of shooting. 1851 Navy vs 1858 Remington. Thoughts?

    I’m fine with both. “BUT” the Colt is oh so much prettier with a very high cool factor!👍🤣👍

    Blowing down the barrel youtube video

    I have no dog in this fight and I don’t care if you blow or not! I would like to see historical documentation on our “For Fathers“ blowing down the barrel…….Boon, Crockett, Girty etc. I don’t do it because I don’t believe I the reasoning behind doing it. Keeping the fouling soft? Blowing out...

    What happens When You Accidentally Shoot a Ramrod out of your gun?

    I have never fired my ramrod (Yet!) but I have seen it happen. In my experience, many, many bad words are said! If this happens while shooting with friends, there will be no end of laughter, name calling and general 🐂💩 coming your way! You will never hear the end of it, and deep down inside, you...

    1849 As A First "Colt"?

    In 1976 my Dad bought our first black powder firearm. It was a second generation Colt 1851 Navy. I was 15. I still believe it to be the prettiest hand gun ever made. As to accuracy, if it was good enough for Wild Bill, it’s good enough for anybody!👍🤣👍

    Dumping Ballistol and Gun Oil

    There are as many formulas as there are shooters. And shooters will stand by there there ways until the last trumpet. Because of my Father and his teachings from the way back times, I have my own creed. What ever type of firearm, if it doesn’t smell at least faintly of Hoppe’s No. 9 you did it...

    Just when you think you've seen it all

    There is plenty of room for all tastes and styles. I’m am the traditional old bachelor so I can spend how I want……with in reason. Now for 50 plus years my Dad thought he was being sly and sneaking “purchases“ past my Mom. He was only partiality successful.👍🤣👍

    Just when you think you've seen it all

    I’m probably in the minority. Beautifully done but gaudy, overstated and way overpriced. I like plain and simple. I don’t need a rifle that look’s like an overdressed tart! So there you go.

    HELP! Prussian Blue in wife's carpet!`

    I really hope this works out. But be prepared, because this will be a stain on your record for the rest of your day’s. As an example, more than 60 years ago (Before I was born) my Dad was refinishing the stock on his favorite deer rifle a Remington in .257 Roberts. Well he dumpted part of a can...
