    WANTED Butt Plate

    Need a large butt plate - 5.25x 1.65" I know I can find one from various vendors, but thought I'd see if anyone here has one they don't want any more. I'm more inclined towards a shotgun style (checkered) or a crescent - brass or steel - either works.

    Sharps Butt Plate Question

    I've got a 63 Sharps sporter that came as a kit minus stocks. The original owner cut a piece of flat steel and screwed it to the butt. It's been that way for thirty or forty years as far as I can tell. Time to make it right! So... What sort of butt plate would be proper for this old girl? I'm...

    10-28 and 12-28 Screws

    Hardware stores don't have any, and even the specialty hardware store here in town that is the go-to when the others don't have it, don't have any either. Is there a source for these odd ball screws? 10-24, 10-32, 12-24 and 12-32 are available but not 28 tpi. I finally decided the only...

    Optimum Revolver Nipple Orifice

    I've been trying to find the answer to this question with no luck. Rifle nipples? No problem - .024-.028" is the answer there. I'd think that revolvers should be about the same or maybe even less since the flash channel is short and straight into the charge. Has anyone researched this topic...

    Need help with sloppy wedge

    The gun - Pietta 1860 army 44. The poor thing has gone through hell and back, and of course the previous owner didn't disclose the troubles and how it got there. He got it new (it's a 2013) and just decided to defarb it. I suspect the defarbing had something to do with replacing the barrel (who...

    'New' Renegade, need help

    No, I'm not asking about removing a ball, though there is that. No, I didn't fail trying to pull it out. No, I didn't drill a hole through it. And I didn't even try shooting it out. Here's the story - at least the way I got it. The guy was selling the rifle for a friend's widow. He's not a...

    'New Cannon'

    It's not new, but it is to me. The previous owner had it 15 years in his living room. No place big enough it keep it elsewhere. It was given to him by a friend's grandpa for helping move contents of a long-forgotten storage space. I have you guys to blame - I sure don't need a cannon! It's all...

    Need Help With Bullet Abbreviation

    On a site cataloging Lyman bullets is an abbreviation I haven't figured out. In this case it's TP, as in "TP is 141". It was postulated that TP meant TRUNCATED POINT, so if that's true - what is meant by "TP is 141"? Or does TP mean something else in this case? As far as I can figure out...

    T/C Renegade Tang

    I'm looking at combining some parts to make a complete rifle. I've got a Renegade stock with most everything but the ramrod, and a .50 Renegade barrel. Besides a ramrod, which I'll build using some hickory rod I already have, the missing link is the tang. Where might I find one? I've checked a...

    Steel Furniture

    I thought brass was a step up from steel, but now I don't know. Was steel furniture considered high end for the more expensive guns?

    Dragoon Grip frame

    I recently picked up a Uberti 3rd model Dragoon with the brass rear grip frame. The rear grip frame wouldn't align at the lower end of the trigger grip frame leaving a fairly wide gap. I tried several different things to close the gap and ended up breaking the grip frame. It's pretty rugged...

    Walker Mainspring compressor

    Just wondering how you guys hold the mainspring when disassembling the pistol. Took a little brainstorming to come up with a solution involving a 3/4" open end wrench and padding. Wondering how it's supposed to be done and if there's a special tool for the job.

    Holey balls, batman!!!

    Let's see how many 'stuck ball' threads we can run at the same time. Shoot for a record? I know about all the different methods of removing a stuck projectile so this is kind of specific. Someone mentioned that a large percentage of used BP guns come loaded, so decided to check my pawn shop TC...

    Repair rifling?

    I know it's possible to sleeve a rifle barrel, but is there a way to repair a pistol barrel? I have an 1860 Colt 44 with a pitted barrel. It's one of the collectible models, so replacing the barrel would greatly reduce value, but would possibly be a good solution as a shooter. The question...
