    I need help with DIY wads

    No, but the "information highway" reaches nearly all locations on the globe, and is but an email away.

    I need help with DIY wads

    On Facebook, try asking Dixon Muzzleloaders. Greg and Brenda are most helpful and will provide the information you will need. They also have the wads in stock, should you choose to go that route.

    I need help with DIY wads

    Ooh! I hate when that happens! Ramrod tip needs to be closer to the actual bore size.

    HATFIELD

    My "buddy" "personalizes" (mangles) each and avery firearm he owns-I should have known better. His brother (God rest his soul) would give him a "high end firearm" every year (for Christmas) only to have him sell each and every one. I DO still have the Burnside that I managed to wrangle from...

    HATFIELD

    I had the flint version with the grade III wood (it had to be ordered and took 8 months to get). It was an outstanding shooter that cost me the princely sum of $300.00! A good friend coveted it and after many years of whining, I finally gave it to him for Christmas one year. He did nothing...

    Ruger Old Army

    The Ruger Old Army is "adapted" from the Blackhawk series revolvers. There is none of that transfer bar nonsense though. They command high prices because they are made to the standards of a modern firearm while still retaining the archaic "charm" of a percussion pistol. Ruger likely stopped...

    Signature Series 1860 sold for $3025... What?

    I have a Belgian 1860 with the matched shoulder stock-I guess I should actually put it IN the safe!

    Signature Series 1860 sold for $3025... What?

    I believe my 'ol shootin' buddy still has a third model Dragoon that was made from said parts. I'll see if he let me snap some pictures.

    Signature Series 1860 sold for $3025... What?

    According to a friend of mine (who was a gunsmith who actually worked at the Iver Johnson plant assembling the Colts), they were allowed 28 minutes to assemble a revolver (in the white) before it was sent to be finished. Anything longer (29 minutes or more) the guns were broken back down into...

    Signature Series 1860 sold for $3025... What?

    The SELLER comes highly recommended and I have dealt with them on a couple of occasions. The pictures in the ad are clear and concise, and the description is beyond reproach IF you have any clue what you are looking at. To mistake that firearm for an original anything is a CONSUMER error and...

    Starting load for a 50 cal. Johnathan Browning mountain rifle, shooting .490 patches balls.

    Not to be a "smart ass," but here is the PDF of the manual (still available from Browning).

    Adding some versatility with a Uberti 1858 Carbine

    The only disadvantage to the "revolving carbine" is the same as it was with the Colt/Root revolving rifle. The "off hand" tends to get singed unless an artillery hold is used. Also not using an artillery hold during a chain-fire event might cause the loss of a couple of digits! That being...

    150 yr. old "Outlaw Mule"

    Turnbull did an 1897 Winchester shotgun for me years ago. It came out so well that even the "experts" couldn't tell it had been refinished and it looked as new!
