    Colt revolving rifle

    Does anyone know if Colt's revolving rifles used musket style nipples or pistol style? Reason I'm asking is brother Steve while metal detecting found what appears to be an oversized Colt pistol style "L" shaped nipple wrench/screwdriver but is for removing musket style nipples. Forged in one...

    Remington #12 caps

    I've got 4 tins #12 Remingtons I got years ago at an estate sale. One tin in the paper sleeve of 5 had the paper seal broken and partially used. I shot the remainder of the opened tin on various rifles not noting at the time how they fit. On the bottom of each tin the previous owner had...

    Mystery 1858

    Brother Steve and I went the Gettysburg show today and I picked this up. There's not marking one on this gun. No name, no serial number, no proofs, no date code, no country of origin, no nothing. The finish is a bright charcoal like on my Uberti Walker. Gentleman I purchased it from knew nothing...

    The Red Green Show

    Don't know how many of you guys know about this TV show but I found it a few weeks ago and it's hysterically good clean outdoor man hunting and fishing humor at Possum Lake Lodge. I watch it on YOUTUBE. It was filmed in Canada with 300 episodes over 15 seasons starting in 1991 or 92. Lots of...

    Eley-patent-wire- shot cartridges

    Never knew anything like these even existed. One attempt to solve the no choke problem. Their claims seem rather optimistic...... https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/some-eley-patent-wire-cartridges/56278

    Passing on a skill.

    Packed up my bullet casting equipment and headed over to introduce a young man to the pleasures of casting your own. After watching me cast a couple dozen I handed him the mold and the "be careful of the hot metal and how to treat the mold for long and trouble free use" lecture he started...

    Ouch, don't do this kids

    My brother came up today to do a bit of shooting with me. He was shooting an 1858 Remington repo and I was shooting an old ASM 3rd Model Dragoon I got a few months back for the first time. Loaded with 40 grains of Goex FFF it roared and belched flame as it should:thumb: Like new it's a proper...

    Shooting the 1842 Harpers Ferry

    Finally got around to shooting the 1847 dated M42 that was made across the river from me at Harper's Ferry. Bobby Hoyt relined and stretched the barrel for me last Spring. Trying to find a .662 mold in the past year had been a challenge until a NIB one popped up on here for less than a C note...

    Gun show Whitworth

    Saw a beautiful Whitworth today at the Gettysburg show. It was P53 style and fitted with a tang target sight and beautifully checkered wood. A bit out of my league at $11,000 it was nice to examine and admire for it's noteworthy place in history along with Joseph Whitworth's precision manufacturing.

    1st chain fire

    I was shooting one of my favorites today, Uberti 1851 Navy made in 1965. On the second cylinder full I had 1 chamber, the top left one let go. Big flash on left side of the pistol and strange 2nd boom. I knew what happened and immediately threw the gun as far away as possible in case it went off...

    Mexican Copper cannon balls.

    Battlefield Detectives gives this very interesting and new view of the battle of Palo Alto as revealed by archeological evidence. Big surprise was the use of copper cannon balls along with copper grape and canister by the Mexican's.

    Ramrod battered balls

    After reading the are round balls really round thread I decided to try a little experiment. I rammed a .490 patched ball on top of 50 grains of 3f in a .50 bore and wailed the Hell out of it with the ramrod with just my hand. Removed the breech plug and powder just poured out without any signs...

    Don't worry, be happy

    Relax guys, soon a Mexican Black Powder cartel will form and convert their Coke and Meth labs to produce and smuggle in "Mexican Black". All Marijuana and Coca cultivation will cease and vast forests of Willow trees will be planted in their place to help supply the US's dirty habit. YLMV
