    Nipple pic Upgrade?

    Just an idea I tried and seems to work better than OME nipple pick wire. I had a clogged nipple flash hole and nothing seemed to open it. I made my own wire to fit into the pick holder and I like so far. I play 12 string guitar, well, let us say I own one, Using a G string, I cut the bitter end...

    Capper that works

    Just some info about ‘Polish Capper” Just rec’ed today in mail. I can say after initial test I am happy. This capper fits every percussion revolver I own 51, 58, 60, Walker, Dragoon, LeMat. Does not work on my pocket guns but no great surprise. I’m glad to have only one capper that does it all...

    Finally, the truth

    Guns needing to be removed from public hands. OLDE NUMBER NINE: Needs no introduction as even the youngest school kids know the history of Olde Number Nine. This history has been available for over 250 years but I think a rehash of how this all came to be is important to understand why this is...

    Question about testing balls

    I hope I can get an answer. I have a custom flint 58 cal 60 twist. I just poured some .575 (.572-.575) pure lead ball. I need to check them. Also I have .010 patches oiled. I just want to see if I can run it down but don't want a dry ball. Would 20gn 3f do it? Thanks in advance Jerry

    58 cal conical or minnie

    As a start, I admit I’m stupid and should have been put down a long time ago. I recently bought a custom flinter 58 cal. Finding a round ball mold (.570) is like looking for a unicorn and all you can find is a jackass with a toilet plunger. Needless, I bought a lee Minnie ball mold (bullet on...

    I'm stuck and it's stuck in barrel

    First off I admit I’m an idiot but only first time out shooting. I have a Pedersoli Gibbs and yesterday during swabbing out, a plastic (disposable) brush broke off and is at bottom of barrel. I’ve tried a few methods (worm, air pressure etc.) and now at a loss. Just looking for suggestions...

    Bore Lube

    Just wanted to share a little of my experience. I am really getting into cap and ball as I mainly shoot cartridge and I can vary guns to meet my on-hand supplies. I have one tube of Traditions bore butter. Seemed expensive and I don’t want to go with any petroleum based ingredients. I started...

    SOLD Pair of 1858s

    Pair of 1858’s 44 cal. One is a Pietta and other is A.S.M. I have never used Pietta. Shot 5 rds through ASM 5 years ago. Pietta appears to have never been used. Pietta grips are wood and ASM molded grips. One thing I feel needs describing is the Pietta hammer pull seems harder vs. ASM. I used...
