    Where to find conical bullets

    About 15 years ago, I won an auction on GB for a Norinco 1911. About 3 hours later, the transmission imploded on our minivan. Contacted the seller, contacted GB, explained my situation and apologized. Was banned 2 days later.

    Where to find conical bullets

    It's not the locals finding out what I'm making, more not wanting to spend a lot of time outdoors. There are a lot of "questionable" characters around, and enough shootings that I try not to attract undue attention. I carry a firearm, and will use it if needed. But as I have been trying to...

    Where to find conical bullets

    Having worked in a battery plant around hot lead all the time, and been warned my lead levels were almost high enough to require me to wear a respirator, I think you are mistaken.

    Where to find conical bullets

    Thank you all for your help. No, I do not have a no casting clause in my lease but outdoors means more people know I have firearms which I do not wish to share. I don't cast inside because of the lead, working on getting my own place but it'll be awhile. I used to cast monies when I was in the...

    Where to find conical bullets

    I live in an apartment and casting is not an option for the present time. I want to buy conical bullets for my .36 and .44 caliber revolvers. I 've done SOME looking, coming up dry so far. Any places sell these?

    Please talk me out of a 1861 Navy

    Sam Colt supposedly said the 1861 Navy was the prettiest firearm he ever designed. Looking at mine on the desk right now, I'd have to agree.

    CAP AND BALL SLOW MOTION VIDEO

    I didn't used to, but that just changed my mind. Thank you so much, I need to show my son for when he shoots with me.

    Burned by USPS

    I seem to recall that the Swiss K31 that FedEx lost for a week before it showed up was a Standard Overnight. ;)

    Burned by USPS

    Years when I was collecting C&R rifles, I ordered a Swiss K31 from a gentleman in Pittsburgh. It came the next day via FedEx, it's only across the state. I liked it so much I ordered another one. Next day, FedEx truck drives past the house. Hmmm, maybe that was a fluke. NEXT day, no gun...

    Removing nipples

    I spray the heck out of whatever revolver I've been shooting with a 1:10 Ballistol/water mix, guess that's my MM, lol. Then wrap it in a towel and let it soak for 20 minutes on the ride home. Then wipe it down, clean the barrel and chambers, nipples come out and soak in a little cup of MM. Once...

    New owner question: Should I go ahead and buy Slix Shot nipples?

    Yeah, the only problem is FINDING them. I bought Treso nipples for my 1861 Navy and have a set of Slixshot nipples on back order. Both are for #11 nipples, that's all I seem to find around here or online. Duelist has a point, if the originals work why switch? I believe one of the reasons he...

    cylinder gap?

    I have a brand new 1861 Navy Pietta London model, and an almost new 1858 Remington NMA by Pietta. After reading some posts here I wanted to check the gap, so I bought a set of feeler guages (Does the search for new tools EVER end?) and both measure .004. How does that sound, expert type people...

    SlixShot Sold out of Pietta Nipples

    I think that third IPA resulted in a very legible, informative, and well thought out post. Only thing better would've been three bottles of Porter. :thumb:

    Removing nipples

    Yeah, I know that NOW but back then I was brand new and figured it was a done deal. I think most of the problem was I was just so mad at myself I gave up. Nowadays that pistol would be a project, back then..... live and learn.

    Removing nipples

    I guess I'm a bit paranoid due to previous experience, but I pull the nipples every time and clean with Ballistol and water, then a dab of antiseize when they go back in. I just got back into the hobby, had a open top years ago. Came home from shooting, we had to take our son to the hospital so...

    Wonder Wads

    I had one chain fire years ago, I had run out of wads and wanted to fire the last 6 round balls. "What could possibly go wrong?" The chambers on either side of the one in line with the barrel both lit off along with the one I was firing. o_O Never again. Just bought the punches and felt and...

    SlixShot Sold out of Pietta Nipples

    Treso are pretty good, not real found of the gold color but they have a good rep. Of course, I ve only had the gun out once and they got here the next day, but I'm looking forward to trying them out. They take #11 nipples.

    Anyone know the origin of this pistol?

    Let me guess, you're not in Cleveland?
