    BP Revolver Wall Mount Ideas

    I'm looking for ideas/pictures of how you are mounting your BP sidearms to the wall for viewing. I don't like any of the commercial products I've seen, and I want something minimal that does not take away from the gun. I'm planning to mount multiple guns and make or 3D print simple hangers, but...

    Next Long Arm to Round Out the Collection

    For years I have been working towards the goal of collecting and shooting the primary US military long and side arms issued/used in major American conflicts. Getting down below 1870s brought me deeper into me into black powder arms. I just filled a major gap with the purchase of a Mississippi...

    A Good Case for a Colt Walker

    I like to have a nice padded case for each of my guns but have not found a version of the standard handgun zippered case big enough for my Walker. What do you use?

    Minie Ball Lubing - Pure Drudgery

    I reload everything I shoot and pour all my bullets and balls but I've always been on the quest to make the process as painless and fast as possible. Less bench work, more shooting. I just pored a batch of about 175 Minies and it's now time for lubing. Pure drudgery - at least for me. I've...

    Will the bottom fall out of the custom build business?

    I've never been interested in purchasing a custom rifle/musket mostly because they don't pass my personal cost/value/enjoyment scale threshold. When I buy expensive arms they are generally historic or investments. However, I can appreciate true craftsmanship when I see it and I find no fault in...

    Sharps O Ring Breech Mod

    I've read much about the O ring mod for Sharps rifles and how it reduces fowling, increases accuracy, is needed on all replica Sharps rifles due to a design that allows the use of the brass case in lieu of a paper cartridge, and eliminates what Mike Beliveau calls the "sheet of flame" that...

    Dumping Ballistol and Gun Oil

    I'm usually well stocked, but at the point where my cleaning supplies are running low. I shoot multiple long and short BP arms quite often and therefore clean a lot of guns and go through a fair amount of cleaning and lubricating products. I've been buying Balllitol (love it) and various...

    Any other heretics out there that oil their barrels?

    I've been cleaning guns for more years than I care to count and when I got into BP quite a few years ago I decided to lubricate with the same products and methods I've used successfully on many cartridge guns. I take care of my firearms and never had a spot of rust due to improper cleaning or...

    CLOSED Pedersoli 1863 Sharps Sporting

    Looking for a Pedersoli 1863 Sharps Sporting 45/54, 32/30 barrel, with set triggers. My preference is for a 32" barrel. I know these are currently available from multiple sources but thought I would see if any very well-taken care of/used options exist to consider before pulling the trigger...
