    Adams Revolver Announcement

    It will cause some excitement among mama when she finds out how much that gun cost……too rich for me!

    Pandemic Auction Revolver "Phenomena"

    A lot of the cap and ball craze is the onset of medical marijuana licensing. You can’t have a modern gun under federal law with one. So they get a “antique “ to shoot.

    K. R. Bresien action

    The cap may be too small for the nipple. Did you try a different cap?

    Get your deer tested

    Just don’t eat any deer that looks sickly. I would shoot it, however, to put it out of its misery and let the conservation scientists look it over. Use a test kit if it makes you feel better. It’s all anti hunting and anti gun propaganda.

    Owners of original (not modern replicas) C&B revolvers, do you shoot them?

    Just idiots showing off. I suspect they use very light loads in the guns they shoot. I would shoot an original if it was a common item, but I never would even check the function on , say, a colt paterson or an unfired mint 1860 army.

    Odd results; bench vs. offhand shooting

    This is really true with pistols. I sight them in for an accuracy test on the bench, then sight them in as I will actually hold them in the field.

    Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison

    Anti hunting propaganda.

    Question About Lighting

    I have an outside workbench. Even under a shade tree, natural light is the best for me. But I don’t use it all the time!

    Is FFFG the Cause

    Yes, powder, pour in an amount about half of your powder charge, then ball on top of that.
  10. Sam squanch

    Is FFFG the Cause

    Not really a powder. More like granulated. It works for me!
  11. Sam squanch

    Is FFFG the Cause

    Try a buffer between the powder charge and ball, like cream of wheat or a felt wad.

    Springfield Model 1795 Barrel Band Spring Repair or Replace

    S and S firearms , lodgewood, grandpa’s gun parts, Gunderson guns are good places to ask.

    Looking for any info.

    Does your boss have any other flintlocks to give away? 😀

    That’ll stick!!!!!

    Reminds me of the one and only time I fooled with a Wham-o boomerang. Never could get it to return. Finally, I just threw it as hard as I could in disgust. Started to walk away, looked up, and there was that crazy boomerang returning to me- at ludicrous speed with a final destination of my face...

    Getting too many misfires

    Dump the pyrodex. Or get enough real black to use as a priming charge before adding the pyrodex.

    Looking for any info.

    Miquelet lock pistol. I’ve never seen a lock plate shaped like that before on a miquelet. At first glance, I thought it was a wall hanging decorative piece, but maybe not….. are you able to take it apart carefully? Like to see the inside of the lock and underneath the barrel.

    How to Checker a Hammer Spur?

    There is a special file for this. Brownells has or had one. I’ve tried with a single triangle file- and failed . Just buy the right tool and be done with it.

    Flintolock pistol rises, never hit the target :-(

    Like a modern snubnose revolver, these will never be a long range affair. Bad breath distance.
