    Uberti Harpers Ferry Pistol

    A friend has a Uberti 1803 (?) Harpers Ferry flint pistol. The hammer and frizzen springs are too weak to make good sparks. Does anyone still make replacement locks for this gun? Do they use the same lock as the 1803 Harpers Ferry rifle?

    Patched Ball Accuracy in Repro Springfield Rifled Muskets

    What kind of accuracy are you getting when shooting from a rest? Since the rifling is so shallow do you have to back off the powder charges so the patches don’t skip the rifling?

    1863 Springfield

    Why do I never see an 1863 Springfield rifled musket replica for sale? I do not want an 1861 model because I think that “ C “ shaped hammer is so ugly.

    Sharps Berdan

    Does anybody know why the Sharps company did not put a cleaning rod under the barrel in their percussion rifles? Seems like a major inexplicable oversight. Was it to save money?

    Rifled Musket Videos

    Why is it so hard to find videos of people shooting and doing reviews of rifled muskets that last more than about 15 minutes. Most of them are less than 7 minutes long. Is it such a small niche of interest that almost no one actually shoots them?

    Faire’s and Such

    Are events like the one they just had at Kempton better places to shop for guns than the CLA show? I’m thinking the CLA event might be more like a trade show where builders show off their wares and take orders, and ones at Dixon’s and/or Kempton are more for buying and selling. Which is the...

    Should I get a .40?

    I have a Tip Curtis .45 flint rifle with a swamped 38” barrel and sliding wood patch box. Shoots very well with about any powder charge from 25 to 80 grains. Have wanted a .40 for decades. I shoot a .433” ball in the .45. A .40 would use a ball around .390”, give or take .005”. The...

    Rifling Depth.

    Why are the rifling grooves so deep in modern traditional rifles? Aren’t the deeper grooves less likely to be wiped clean after a shot when he next patched ball is loaded? And isn’t it harder to get any kind of a gas seal with really deep grooves? I know that it is not possible to ever get a...

    Completed Long Rifle Shopping

    Where is a good place to go shopping for a completed Lancaster-type flint rifle in .36 or .40 caliber rifle? Even though I have a decent supply of BP on hand, I am about to retire and will have more time to shoot. I want a smaller caliber that uses less powder because of the powder shortages...

    1860 Parts

    Good source for some parts for an Armi San Marco 1860? VTI is out of most or all that I need ( front sight, wedge and related spring and screws ) according to their web site. Numrich Arms does not even list anything. This is why I would never buy an ASM myself, but this one belongs to a...

    Loose Arbor

    I recently bought a new Uberti 1862 Pocket Army revolver. I noticed that the machine work appears excellent and inside and out, polished, even. Unfortunately, the arbor is a little loose. Not very much at all, but barely noticeable. Is this something that I should have fixed now? The gun has...

    Swapping Grip Frame

    I have a Uberti 1860 Army that is about 7 years old that I want to put Uberti Navy grips and frame on. The Army grips are a little too long for my hand to operate comfortably. If they can even be had, with the scarcity of everything, what parts do I need to order ( to include any different...

    Uberti or Pietta 1858 Remington .44 With 5 1/2” Barrel.

    Do any of you guys have the reproduction of the Remington with the 5 1/2” barrel? If so, how do you like it? Am thinking about trying to find one. Pretty tough right now.

    How Were They Shipped?

    Once again it’s time for me to ask my yearly question that stumps the panel. So here we go again: Let’s say I run a hardware store, trading post, or some kind of place that would sell guns and/ or related merchandise in the percussion era. A customer comes in looking for a Colt or Remington...
