    WITHDRAWN Kirst .45 LC cylinder for ROA for Sale or Trade

    Hello, This Kirst .45 LC conversion cylinder came with my recent purchase of a stainless steel ROA. It is complete with box and papers and if you look at the photo's I don't believe it was ever fired. Please note there is no carbon scoring in the cylinder. I will never use this so it is up...

    I finally found one!

    Let me rephrase that as saying I finally found for a reasonable price... Came out of an estate sale and includes a Kirst .45LC conversion cylinder. I ran the serial number this one was made in 1981. It has some minor rust on it that will clean up with no problem. So stoked! Now I just need...

    Went to the fun show today

    So I went to the Ft. Worth gun show today which was the first time in at least 10 years?? Any way I brought a little Beretta to sell and other than all of the ammo price gouging going on and MSRP pricing on guns or higher. I found this... Fellow told me it was given to him from a recently...

    What's the best temp for casting RB's?

    I was wondering if there is a consensus on the best temperature for casting round balls??
  7. TexasAndy

    Too cold to shoot time to cast!

    So it was 22 degrees here in Ft. Worth yesterday so I went to the garage and churned out some roundballs for my Navy's!

    The Wedge

    A number of my revolvers require a punch and hammer to get the wedge out. Would a replacement wedge solve this? I think some of them the spring tension on the wedge itself is too much. Is there a way to modify it?

    Wonder Seals??

    So I bought some of these out of curiousity and yes I know they are not a necessity but they are cool! Totally for lazy people which is me...I can't wait to try them at the range.

    Has anyone tried a "Franken gun"?

    Since inventory is so scare right now I'm considering see if I can get the parts together to make a Pietta/Uberti revolver thingy. I see the frames with the arbor may be difficult to get but I wonder how much fitting is required?

    This little beauty arrived today

    Complements of fast shipping from "The Possibles Shop". Taylor's packaging was quite nice I must say.

    Anyone alter their shooting because of shortages?

    Please let me explain...I know in the past it was a fairly common practice to dry fire some caps on empty chambers to clear the nipples before a shooting session. However, with the required acoutrements being in short supply I am now using a nipple pick to clear any grease or oil obstruction...

    You fine fellows are lucky.

    I sure would like to try my hand at harvesting a whitetail with a sidelock but with so little public land in Texas that will be difficult(99% of the state is in private hands). In addition I've seen what leases cost on a well managed piece of property. My buddy up in Wyoming has offered to...

    RMC Ox-Yoke

    I just wanted to do a shout out for the fine folks at RMC-Ox Yoke. They have been the go-to place for much of shooting needs the last couple of months and even with the Covid craziness they are usually getting orders out in 1-2 business days. I highly recommend them if you have not done...

    New 1851 Navy range report

    So I took the new Pietta Navy out to the range on Sunday and had a blast shooting it and another one of my Pietta revolvers. I meant to keep some of the targets to share but the place was so busy I didn't want to wait 20 minutes to retrieve them. It seemed to shoot about 1/34-2.5" at 15 yds...

    SlixShot Sold out of Pietta Nipples

    So apparently SlixShot is out of their Pietta nipples which is what I really want. Their site is claiming they will be available late this month but considering manufacturing with Covid I don't have high hopes. What is another good source with a similar product?? I know Track of the Wolf has...

    This stray came home with me today

    While visiting my local Cabelas this afternoon this fellow ended up coming home with me. It's a Pietta and I have to say it is worlds better than the Pietta's I have bought in the past. It's nicely timed and beautifully finished. It is my understanding that the rifling twist is not ideal for...
