    Smith Carbine percussion nipple dimensions

    Hi, Does anyone know the nipple thread size for the original Smith Carbine. I want to buy a new nipple but I don't know the dimensions. I do see some on the US websites but none of them want to ship to the UK for some reason. Thanks, Matthew

    WANTED Smith Carbine - But in the UK

    I am trying to find out if anyone has a Smith Carbine for sale in the UK. I am in the process of getting a .50 Rifle variation so original preferred but replica would be considered. I see some for sale in the US but getting it shipped to the UK would be prohibitively expensive I believe. PM...

    To unload or not?

    Just a quick question for anyone who has been on a driven shoot with a muzzle loader. At the end of each drive do you just remove the caps and leave the shotgun loaded or fire off the loaded barrels? Never having been on a shoot with a muzzle loader I don't know what the normal practice is. I...

    Hi, To make loading on the bench quicker I am looking for a bunch of vials to take different measured powder charges, from 10gn 3F to 60+gn 2F. On ebay there are plenty of little plastic vials from 0.5ml upwards. The only trouble is I don't know what size(s) to get, does anyone on here use...

    Help needed in the UK

    I have a couple of revolvers and I need some technical assistance. Trouble is, I am in the UK. The first issue is with my Walker. The original wedge appears to be made of cheese. When I shoot it with 30g Swiss 3f the wedge deforms and the barrel then moves. (I have sorted the arbour...

    Hello from Cambridgeshire

    Yet another Brit saying hello. Just starting out on the dark side but I have a Colt Walker (2nd Gen), Pietta 1858 and an Ardesa Hawken Match rifle (1:20). The Walker has taken me a while to shoot consistently as the original wedge seems to be made from soft cheese and any load deformed the...

    Latest stupidity from the other side of the pond.

    The latest idiocy from this side of the pond is the EU are trying to outlaw lead ammunition. The initial removal of lead only applies to shooting over wetlands, however, once this is passed there are moves afoot to extend this to include all shooting even on a range. This will obviously have a...
