    The "Newest" 1859 Sharps Carbines from Pedersoli

    So I have an old military model Pedersoli Sharps built in 1993, and I had it sent out to Larry Flees who did the chamber job on it and it works great. My question is, that I noticed Pedersoli has changed the way they make the breech face plate, and now it apparently has o-rings a stainless tell...

    Home made caps

    I made a "scoop" by taking a spent small pistol primer from a 9mm case, used a pick to remove the anvil.....cleaned it up, then epoxied it to the end of a little dowel rod (I have wooden rod q-tips for gun cleaning, I just snipped off the tip).....anyhow, I have found that the volume of a small...

    New to Goex

    I'm not familiar with the New Englander.....are you shooting Patched Ball, Maxi ball or a true civil war style minnie ball?? Your post stated "mini". I too am kinda new and learning this, but I have found with my 1861 Springfield that shoots .58 caliber true "Minnie" balls with the skirt, that...

    CLOSED I found the .54.

    you could try e-mailing Richard Beauchamp at [email protected]. He used to be a full line Pedersoli dealer, but is retiring and selling off all of his stock at pretty good prices......see if he has one left in stock

    Where most Hawken style rifles percussion??

    I see a lot of the repro's in both flint and percussion, but based on the timeframe of the gun makers I was wondering if more were percussion

After dried, I roll the strip up and put it in ziplock bag. the patch is about 1 1/2 wide and about 2-3 feet long( I cut em...

    .58 Caliber hunting load advice

    ok....so here's the math. A 280gn round ball traveling 1050fps has a muzzle energy of 685 ft/lbs. A typical .44 magnum 240 grain load delivers a 1,180 fps muzzle velocity for 742 ft lbs of muzzle energy. So a slight edge for the modern cartridge but not too much. If there is one thing I...

    .58 Caliber hunting load advice

    check your state and local game laws.....some have caliber restrictions and such. With that said, plenty of folks in my neck of the woods hunt whitetail with a .44 magnum pistol. Without knowing the grain weight of your bullet, I can't really tell you what your energy delivered at say 50 and...

    Can anyone post pictures of 1861 Springfield

    Hey.....I'm building an 1861 from a kit, and the issue I am working on is fitting the ramrod into the stock. The stock is drilled for the ramrod, but since the ramrod has that "swell" out near the rammer end, it doesn't go all the way into the ramrod channel. I am assuming the channel has to...
