    Adams Revolver Announcement

    I see on the Cap & Ball Revolvers Only site, which I recently discovered, that the Buffalo Bill Shooting Store in Sanford, FL, is the distributor for a new repro Adams revolver in .44 and future .50 cal. A group called ARSA was mentioned, I don't know what that is?? This could cause some...

    Fess Parker Recalled d.2010

    Fess Parker died in 2010. Here is a remembrance of him that appeared in the NY Times, written by Verlyn Klinkenborg. "I don't remember a single episode of "Davy Crockett" nor did I own a coonskin cap. As for the famous theme song, it tends to wander away on it's own, erratically, once it gets...

    Rev War Buttons for "Patriot"

    The guy who made buttons for The Patriot movie, made lots of the standard "USA" buttons, and originally they wanted many different kinds of British buttons, but someone figured no one would notice anyway, and they went with a generic "GR & Crown" button which was not a copy of a real button. But...

    Trexler Historical Art

    If you like military art, check out Trexler Historical Art; I have no connection with him other than he lives in my county, but wow! is his art top notch and affordable. I've never met the guy but am impressed with the quality of the military prints and paintings.

    Dixie Lock Replacement?

    I have a Jack Garner flint mountain rifle with a Dixie Gun Works lock; wonder if any of the modern locks are a replacement fit? It's probably an OK lock, but I read that the currently produced locks by L&R and Others, are pretty precise. I'll have to look into that!

    Modern CNC work in Turkey

    Modern un-mentionable items being made in Turkey, a NATO member, are of the highest quality. They make ammo for un-mentionables, also. Imagine if some enterprising US entrepreneur contracted with a Turkish factory to mfg. authentic Hawkin rifles, maybe the Aston 1842, or some other black powder...

    Percussion Cap Tin Labels redux

    I posted here some time back a website that had high quality images of many different Percussion Cap Tin labels from history. Does anyone still have the site? It was Cap Tin-Top Labels #1 but now I can't find it. Any help in finding images of old Cap Tin labels that I can copy would be...

    NRA "Voting"

    Received my latest NRA American Rifleman, and immediately tore up the "voting package" in it. I used to vote and read the bios, but all of those idiots sat by all those decades and watched Wayne-O destroy the NRA, raping it's finances and livin' large on the small donations of everyday shooters...

    BOD Rifle by TRS

    A retired re-enactor, who I've known many years, sold me his TRS Board of Ordnance rifle. It was one of four kits ordered about 1980 by a 'light company' of enactors; two were assembled by one gunsmith, and the other two by a PA gunsmith; it was used for enactments and well cared for, and is now...

    Pietta Cylinder Wait

    According to Taylor's, there is expected from the factory, cylinder conversions for the Pietta Army; it's been two years now but I'm still on the list. It's nice to have an extra for percussion revolvers like the Uberti's and ROA's, also the R&S's.

    Caps Made In Idaho

    I see where CCI caps are made in Idaho by a subsidiary of Speer? Can't we get the NMLRA to somehow influence the company to goose up production and distribution of these things? Just wonderin'. Hey, the NRA is also representing black powder shooters, too! BTW, there's a restaurant on the...

    NRA Pronouncement re: LaPierre

    Will be interesting to see what the NRA monthly magazine has to say about Wayne leaving; I wouldn't want to be the PR person who has to write the announcement in American Rifleman.

    'Cap Full of Luck'

    Caps! Caps! By dumb luck, stumbled upon the only dealer who had Caps at my area's large regional gun show. Had a dozen or or so blister packs of CCI's @ $15. ea. I got four. I note that CCI is a division of Speer in Idaho! He did say he can't get #10, but I was OK with the #11's. The day of ten...

    More Things in Film That Bug Me

    This is just for fun, I don't really lose sleep over it, but in addition to cartridge guns in Civil War-set movies, I get annoyed when some guy using a quill pen scratches out a major document in seconds, or drinks out of an obviously-empty cup. Another one is when a guy puts something in an...

    Caps Redux

    My LGS, a very active business, sells black powder but of course no caps. Even his BP supplier can't get any. He agreed with me, that there are caps coming out of the factories, but are being Hoarded by middle-men, distributors, and shops along the line in order to drive up the price. It's the...

    Muzzleloader No Longer On Newstands

    My Jan/Feb issue of Muzzleloader announces that it will no longer be on newsstands due to cost issues. Subscriber only. This is an excellent publication, and all should subscribe in order to support it. I can see why anything on a newsstand involves extra costs to middlemen, un-sold returns, all...

    Hunter Brand Holsters: Powder Horn Logo

    Remember those 1960's era leather holsters by Hunter Co.? Their logo was a Powder Horn. These were solid, well-made, plain holsters using high quality leather. I just got one at auction, for a revolver of some sort. Haven't examined it yet, but it has the large loop for a belt, and is very...

    Pedersoli Charleville

    Recently saw a minty-as-new Charley go at auction for 950. Figure, plus buyer's fee and tax, the buyer still saved several hundred off the 1750 cost and shipping of ordering a Dixie.
