    Spiller and Burr Cylinders?

    Hello all, With all the recent Spiller and Burr talk especially in the Wanted and Sold threads, I wanted to ask if the new imports now available have cylinders that resemble the originals? Mine has been “defarbed” years ago but I noticed after doing some research that the cylinder isn’t close...

    ‘The Thing’…you know the thing

    After waiting many many months, the newest member of my family arrived home today and she's uglier than the “Yak Woman” cousin Eddie knows or 'beautifully' ugly (if there's such a term), healthy, has no other issues in delivery thanks to UPS (United Parcel Stork) and she’s ready for some...

    What, how, and if…??? A ramrod question

    Hello all, My next “fix” involves a metal ramrod on an 1816 musket. It keeps sliding and falling out of the channel any time it isn’t at an angle that’s not perpendicular or less than horizontal. I can’t tell if a portion of the ramrod has broken loose in there because the ramrod (original)...

    Does Dem-bart “Checkering Oil” Exist?

    I was recommended their checkering oil as a “true” or “close” match to Springfield or Harpers Ferry gun stocks only I can’t seem to find it. I tried several sources and have come up empty. I’d like to try some since boiled linseed oil is NOT like it was ‘back in them days’. So I thought I’d...

    SOLD ON HOLD…Baron Woolen Mills “Wooby”

    Alas, I hate doing this but I must! I have one remaining Baron Woolen Mills “wooby” aka blanket for sale. The red is very vibrant and the nap is still well fulled with no moth holes. Doubled over, this thing kept my cold knees very warm around a bivouac fire along the Oregon coast and at night...

    Gunbroker Scam - Hall Rifle

    People, As if we don’t have enough scam artists here on these forms, I discovered they’re also on Gunbroker. I am attaching an auction for a 1819 Hall rifle that ended two days ago (which I “won”) and after I refused payment due to fraud, it has been relisted for $1000 more...

    Parker Hale “Safari Gun Cleaning Outfit”?

    Does anyone know if these kits and their attachments are mostly for shotguns/large caliber cartridge rifles or muzzleloaders of larger caliber such as .50 and above? I’ve seen a few lately and the contents always look like they’re ideally set up for cleaning shotguns. Just curious because the...

    CLOSED .36 Griswold and Gunnison?

    Never hurts to ask if someone here has one in .36 they’d like to sell? Any ripe age and condition (as long as it’s fireable) is fine with me. I’m working on a project with some neighbor kids who lost their dad a while ago. If you do, let me know what you’ve got! Thanks so much, James

    Spiller & Burr: Defarb of a Defarb

    After many many years, the intended work to finish defarbing this revolver is about 90% complete. Most of the first round of defarbing work was done by Lodgewood, Mfg. Italian proofs were removed, an arsenal number was stamped on various parts and some aging was added. But it just wasn’t...

    WANTED 1850's Repro 3 Band Enfield Stock?

    Just wanted to ask if anyone out there might have a Euroarms/Pedersoli/Armisport 3 band stock that's been damaged/chipped or cracked (especially near the muzzle) they no longer need???

    WANTED Whitworth scope side mounts?

    After doing some research, I found a couple gents repopped the hardware that would allow a side mounted scope to a Whitworth Confed sharpshooter rifle. Just taking a stab if anyone, anywhere in any time zone MAY have a set laying around or know another source? Cheers, James

    Recreating a Scoped CW Sharpshooter Rifle?

    People, I came across the attached brass scope for very little $$$ and wanted to ask if there’s replicated hardware available to mount this to the side of a British Enfield/Whitworth muzzleloading rifle? I was hoping it MIGHT be a Davidson scope but I don’t think it is. It’s missing one end too...

    “2 Band Volunteer Rifle” - Redeux

    (From a previous post w/similar title, I finally got this rifle where I wanted it to be, a non “fresh out of the box” rifle.) With cooperation from the weather gods here in Western Washington state, some free time from job responsibilities and other issues, I’m able to post the (98%) finished...

    "Henry .451 Volunteer" Rifle Arrives!

    Box was waiting as I got to the door. Maybe those who've helped me on my first post can make sense of: - Do the barrel stamps indicate a real Parker Hale item? I don't think it falls in the range...or does it? - How old is this rifle? The original box was a bit old but still in good condition...

    New member and new Voly rifle on the way

    Hello, I did a quick search on this forum in regards to a new purchase I have on the way but didn’t get too far before time cut me short. I have an “Alexander Henry” Volunteer Rifle coming soon and after asking some generic questions over the phone I was a bit surprised to discover the only...
