    Easter morning turkey hunting.

    Thought I’d check my Bess carbine this morning for my 25 yard turkey pattern since spring season starts next week. Good enough for me. 25 yards is the farthest I’d shoot.

    Sows ear CVA Hawken.

    I picked up this severely botched kit gun a few weeks ago for $100 because it appeared to have never been shot. Date code in the serial number showed it was made in 1987. Whoever built it as a kit didn’t polish the casting marks out of the brass, used a belt sander or something on half the...

    What is this?

    A little info on this is appreciated. A friend has it so I can’t get more photos at the moment.

    SOLD Pedersoli Indian Trade Gun

    I’m liquidating a few of my guns to pursue other interests. Here is my Pedersoli trade gun. 20ga. I’ve had it a few years since I bought it new. Factory crappy stock finish was removed and refinished in linseed oil. Sparks like a champ. Bore is bright and shiny as new. I dropped it while...

    Showing off a little.

    A good friend of mine finished this pistol up for me a couple weeks ago. I’m a tree guy and I asked him to find a piece of curly ash for the build since ash trees are becoming a thing of the past. I’m gonna use it in my shooting matches. I love it. Rice barrel with an LC Rice lock. He had some...

    Stuff in a box.

    This was in a box from an estate sale. Appears to be parts to a pistol kit. It’s a smooth bore. Any ideas what pistol it is? No stock was included

    SOLD 1803 Harpers Ferry

    I’m thinning my herd for some new interests in BP cartridge guns. This is an 54 caliber 1803 Harpers ferry rifle built from a Rifle Shoppe kit that I’ve had for quite a few years. It is very nicely done and aged naturally. It sports a Davis HF lock and a Colerain round bottom groove barrel. It...

    What are these?

    I have a buddy that owns a gun shop in Florida. He buys lots of estates. He has these that he sent me pics of want to know if they are worth anything. He said they are powder flasks or canteens. He also said they came from Bosnia. I told him to send me some pics of the spouts/lids and why he...

    Ugly pedersoli

    I see a lot of Pedersoli quality bashing here lately. I currently have four Pedersoli guns. I just wanted to share my early 1990s made Tryon .54 target deluxe. No crappy wood, inletting or finish on this one. This is the best shooting rifle I own. That includes custom guns with green mountain...

    Well spring gobbler season is just around the corner. I picked up this navy arms/Pietta double 12 ga (mics at an actual 11 gauge) a few months ago but never worked up a load for it. Been working on it this afternoon. Finally got it done today. I can make these targets up for anyone for free just...

    SOLD Miroku Tower pistol

    Here is a project for someone. It’s a Miroku Japan made tower pistol sold by Dixie Gun works many decades ago. Appears to be .62. I didn’t measure it. There has been a crude attempt to remove the Japan and Dixie gun works stampings on the barrel. Bore is smooth and appears to have never been...

    Case hardening

    I have an original Springfield lock that was originally case hardened but has been blued at some point over top of the case hardening. Is there a way to remove the hot bluing without removing the color case hardening underneath it? I know vinegar will remove blueing and fake case hardening. Not...

    Enfield Calvary Carbine?

    Ran across this today in my buddies house hanging on the wall as a decoration. I had to take it down for further inspection. I don’t have any way to measure the bore but it still appears to be 58 but it looks smooth or the rifling is so faint I can’t see it. I’m four states away from home so I...

    My Brown Bess backup.

    Took the Bess out for some Squirrel hunting this evening. I forgot to secure this guy before I left the house so I ended up having company about five minutes after I got to my spot. He’s my youngest German shepherd pup. He done a fine job of saving me a second shot on a wounded squirrel.

    SOLD Lyman minie mold 57730

    This is the “long discontinued” Lyman 57730 minie mold. It is the thick walled skirt for heavy HEAVY powder charges. Will not blow the skirt. Want a minie for moose and elk? This is it. It drops a 570 grain minie. My calipers measure that with pure lead they drop right at .576-.577 depending on...
