    WANTED Starr Revolver Cylinder

    I need a .44 caliber cylinder for a Starr 1858 double action revolver and it should be an original; don't think a modern made Pietta cylinder would be a good fit. There are small differences between originals and Piettas when it comes to fitment. Thanks.

    Soling a Frizzen

    I didn't want to hijack the thread on frizzen hardening, hence this one. Here's my question - Is there an on-line tutorial about how to sole a frizzen? YouTube video or whatever? I've hardened quite a few using Kasenit; not really following directions that closely. I bring them up to heat and...

    Nipple rusted in place.

    Here's my problem - I bought a M1816 Harpers Ferry musket that has been converted to percussion using the Belgium/cone in barrel method. Try as I might, I cannot get that nipple out. I've been using mild heat and aerokroil applied two or three times a day for eleven days now and it won't budge...

    Question on Nipple Sizes

    Folks, I have need for an oversize nipple for a musket. The 5/16 X 24 are slightly undersize. Is there a source for oversize nipples in this thread size; 24 threads per inch? Does anyone know if the 8mm nipples are bigger than 5/16? 8mm X 1 should be close enough to the correct threads per inch...

    Help with Zouave ID Please.

    I'm checking on an Italian-made Zouave that a fellow has for sale. The only markings on the barrel are "Adler, Italy - Blackpowder only". Is anyone familiar with these? I can't remove the barrel to look underneath - I'm talking via e-mail with the fellow that has it. And the only markings that...

    Noobie from Michigan

    Hello to everyone. Just joined the forum - stumbled on it a couple of days ago on another website. Sure does look like a fine place. Got my first frontstuffer - a .79 caliber Hy Hunter horse pistol - over four decades ago and have loved shooting muzzleloaders ever since. Used to go out every...
