    Who is your go-to for aftermarket cap and ball revolver parts?

    Hey Friends, Getting into C&B revolvers up in Canada before the window on 'em closes. As far as aftermarket parts are concerned - what & whom do you use? I hear Slixshots are usually a good upgrade. Any good spring upgrades out there? Other suggested upgrades?

    Lyman 1851 - Parts a concern?

    There's a Lyman 1851 available to me via a relatively local shop. Appears to be in good nick. I'm aware that as an older pre-CNC gun, modern pietta & uberti parts aren't going to fit without work. As a newbie to cap and ball, are parts going to be a concern? Should availability of parts be a...

    Cap & Ball Tracks -What causes them and why?

    Every once in a while I see one of these used revolvers with an egregious track. What causes this? Poor timing? Is it a symptom of worse underlying issues? What can be done to fix it?

    Cracked Horn Spout - How to repair?

    1700s Flask Kits?

    Hey Friends, I want to make a curved flask similar to these with my father. We don't have the capacity to make the brass parts, but plenty of woodworking capacity. Does anyone make brass kits, or would anyone be willing to make the furniture for us? Seems like Track and Dixie are out of their...

    Brown Bess -Why

    I would say of the lug/sight debate that I would be inclined to agree with the primary sources on this one and not use Goldstein & Mowbray's (really very excellent) secondary / tertiary source as evidence. That book is a collection of photographs of extant muskets, and the focus isn't on...

    Anyone make tools?

    Had a chance to look at both today - they both have 1/4" shoulders on em so a wrench of those dimensions would work. The Zoli nipple screws into the Armisport but not the other way around. I bought an inexpensive repro of a US musket tool online today just to have something on hand, but I...

    Anyone make tools?

    I would absolutely not be against replacing all the nipples in order to standardize them, the catch is that I can't get the nipple off the Zoli zouave without a wrench to investigate the threads. I am less interested in having a collection of individual tools and more interested in having a...

    Hey Gus! Thanks for the response. It's for me to use with repro guns, Italian. I have a Zoli Zouave and an Armisport P53.

    Anyone make tools?

    It's an EIC percussion musket tool, an indian made copy of a brunswick tool essentially. It has a nipplewrench and a pick/punch but also a very interesting screwdriver head that works on both screws and bun nuts. I expect it can also be used for decapping, given the wedges, and possibly other...

    Musket Nipples for EuroArms/Armisport P53 and Zoli Zouave

    Hello friends, I have a Zoli Zouave and a Euroarms/Armisport P53. I do not have a nipple wrench, but am wonderingif anyone has recommendations for replacement nipples for these rifles before I go to finding a wrench? Ideally I'd like to find a good nipple that fits both, & thus a wrench that...

    Rifle Flask

    Looking about for a tubular flask for my .58 Cal, most flasks hold only enough powder for 10 shots. (holds 5 oz of 2F / 600 grains). Looking for something more substantial. Anyone around here make copper flasks? Might be as simple as the"pipe" special at the top or the really cool "oilcan"...
