    FOR SALE 1853 Enfield by Armi Sport

    Great condition .58 caliber with bayonet and leather strap. I bought this from a re-enactor with some other items. I’m not sure what a fair price is, I can’t find a new one in stock and the old price is $1200.00. So I’m going to ask $950.00 and I’ll throw in the authentic tent he used in the...

    Uberti 1862 holster

    Any leads on where to find a leather cross draw for this little gun? It's smaller than a ruger single six, maybe colt frontier scout size. I'd like to keep it below $50.

    Do not buy an 1862 Police from Midway

    I don't know if they get factory seconds or if they are all junk. It took me 4 hrs to get it to even cycle. The cylinder was hitting the frame and the barrel and rough machine work throughout. Buy a used one made before 2020!

    SOLD Knapsack

    I traded for what I believe is a confederate single pocket knapsack. It looks identical to the one C&D Jarnagin company sells for $550. The gentleman who owned it was a reenactor, as well as a wood worker. That’s why it has fine wood dust on it. Tarred canvas / oilcloth and thick quality...

    Ox yoke wonder seals

    I like them but they are like ten cents each! Is anybody home making something similar? Something solid but pliable.

    Balls backing out of the chambers

    Hunting in this below freezing cold this past weekend I tried to shoot the 1860 and it wouldn’t cock. Three of the five balls were sticking out of their chambers. At home later I removed the cylinder, smacked it on a piece of wood and three balls fell out. I loaded it in a warm house, 28grs...

    What size ball?

    I recently acquired an older ASM 1860 .44. When loading a .454 ball with one of those cheap bench loaders it was only shaving off a half moon of lead, so I bought a box of .457's without thinking too much about it. So I measured the chambers as best as I could with a micrometer and they are...

    Squirrel hunts over the weekend

    I was having a hard time seeing my sights as usual and missed some easy shots. Readers helped to see the sights but blurred the squirrels so bad I put them up. So I painted the front sight white and the rear black and it helped A LOT! I went 3 for 4 yesterday.

    New Pietta"s cap size

    I have 2 new Pietta's (1851 & 1860) that #10 caps won't even go on and #11's fit loose. What's up? Both caps are CCI"s.

    If you just ordered a pietta

    Take the loading lever apart and debur it before you use it, or you will end up like me.

    WANTED Colt 1860 8" 44, steel frame

    You can have a brand new one delivered for $300. I would like a lightly used one for $200. If you have a good one made after 2000, (cnc made) you want to get rid of, please PM me.

    Finally shot the Kibler

    I’ve had this .40 completed for a while now and just took the time to shoot it. It never failed to fire even though the fouling was turning to soup with all the humidity. It patterned well but a little low so I filed the sight and brought it up. I’ve got a .32 barrel ready to put on and I hope...

    Muzzle decorations

    I'm finishing a .32 barrel for my SMR and was considering putting some dimples on the end of the muzzle. Would it be as simple as using a center punch? Post up some pics of what y'all have done.

    Revolver timing

    I watched a video of a guy who said his colt was out of time because the bolt didn't pop up into the slot in the cylinder the instant the hammer reached the full cock detent in the sear. Is that what being in time means? Seems like a lot to ask of this old design.

    1858 New Army

    Picked one up this weekend and can't see a brand name on it anywhere. It's imported by Dixie Gun Works. I would like to know the maker and age. Can I tell that by the serial number?

    Bifocal safety glasses

    They make these with the bifocal on top or bottom of the lens. I'm thinking about ordering a pair so I can see my iron sights, but I don't know which would be best for hunting. Does anyone here use these for hunting?

    Kibler

    Got my SMR yesterday. Less than one month from the day I ordered it! I was expecting it to take a few months. I’ve never seen one in person and have to say it is slimmer, more petite than I thought it would be. I love it.

    Shooting way low!

    My flint .45 is shooting a foot and a half low and six inches to the left at twenty five yards with 25 grains of fffg and a tight prb. I shot it with 40 grains and it came up just over an inch. It’s a early pedersoli. These are the rear sights I’m having to use to get on target. The front sight...
