    Are you still growing your Garden?

    Not anymore. We live in the middle of a farming community and a lot are Amish (good people). About 10 years ago we cost out the cost of diesel, fertilizer, seeds, etc. and as it would be it ended up being far cheaper to buy all our canning vegetables from local farmers and the Amish —- and those...

    SOLD 1860 pietta new in box 275.00 shipped

    Man you are tempting me and I need another 1860 like I need a hole in my head. For anyone really lookin, I have both Pietta and Uberti 1860’s and to tell the truth (and this surprised me….) the Piettas’s triggers IMHO, are way better than the Uberti is. Uberti trigger isn’t bad, it’s just got...

    Pyrodex pistol pellets

    Thanks Karma — sooo, you’re using a conical bullet out of a BP Pistol? I’ve found very little info on doing it this way instead of round balls. I’ve got a 44 caliber mould that I *think* would work nicely in my 1860 Uberti but wasn’t certain. If you didn’t guess I’m VERY new to BP pistols and...

    Pyrodex pistol pellets

    Never knew these existed and ran across them by accident on Hodgdons web page (which is behaving badly for me today…) but found them in stock at Bass Pro/Cabelas —- anyone have experience using these in a Uberti 1860 or similar? I’ve used rifle pellets in the past but didn’t know they made them...

    Cylinder locked Pietta 1860 Army

    Dave I feel the same way, spent a lot of years as a Network Engineer on computer systems and I find it impossible to learn from electronic books etc. I still learn best if I print it out, highlight it, and make notes in the margins. I retired a few years back and in my mid 60’s I refuse to...

    New guy here

    Cold today, about 15° but heck we‘re used to it. We effectively have no snow, really unusual but I guess it must be global warming. (Yeah, right….) Oldwood never had any issues with cold or wet weather in any of my 45-70’s But have never tried PP’ing bullets either, maybe someday. Thank you...
