    Inquiry about current replica percussion revolvers

    It has been a while since I have purchased any percussion revolvers. Back in the day, Uberti was tough to beat. Reading a number of posts on this subject, I know that the pandemic wreaked havoc with the Italian manufacturers, and quality may have since slipped. I used to read that Cimarron...

    New .58 caliber Hawken type Rifle

    I have been wanting a .58 caliber Hawken type rifle for some time. Recently, I sold an unmentionable rifle that I had not fired or used in over 30 years to a deer hunter up in Maine. If you live up that way you can probably figure out what it was. Anyway, I used the proceeds to order this...

    Shiloh Antique Finish

    Anyone have a rifle with the antique style metal finish? Is it just a faded style of color case? What I don't want is a faux finish that makes the rifle look abused or distressed. Thanks in advance for any info.

    .54 caliber Sharps Bullets

    After many years of hunting with Hawken type rifles I bought a Sharps percussion Sporting Rifle. I have fired it with round balls, REAL bullets, and Christmas Tree bullets with loose powder. After watching a couple of YouTube videos about making paper cartridges, I started doing that as...

    John Bergmann Hawken

    I received my Left-Hand Hawken type rifle from John Bergmann and I cannot be more pleased. I considered a .58 caliber, but since Whitetails are really the only thing I hunt with a muzzleloader I stayed with the .54 since I have had such good success with it. This one was inspired by the Kit...
