    Range Rod

    I'm looking for a one-piece range rod, brass, steel, or aluminum with a swivel handle. The only ones I'm finding online are by Treso, & they look suitable, but are unavailable at present. Does anyone know what companies sell a suitable range rod?

    Trigger Issues With Remington '58

    Shooting my Pietta '58 Remington this afternoon, noticed when placed on half-cock the trigger would go too far forward making it difficult to pull hammer back to full-cock. Came home & stripped the gun down.....what should I be looking for as to what is causing this? Trigger looks ok, as do the...

    Good Value?

    I was in a local gun store this afternoon. I don't go there much as they tend to sell mainly EBRs & other modern stuff, however today they had a couple of nice looking muzzleloaders. The one that caught my eye the most was a .62 caliber Centermark Fusil de Chasse. I didn't get a real close look...

    I traded into this rifle recently, & am posting it here to get some feedback & help with ID. The previous owner described it as a Boar Rifle. It has an OAL of 44.5" with a 27.75" barrel. The barrel is octagon (1" at breach) for the first 24.5" where it changes to round (3/4" diameter), the...

    Hammer Rubbing

    I have a Pietta-made Remington '58 .36 caliber revolver. I've noticed lately that when I lower the hammer I can feel it binding, or rubbing. If I let go of the hammer at that point it will actually 'hang' there until I push it with my thumb. I don't notice it when I'm shooting, & lock-time &...

    Good Deal on Pedersoli Howdah Pistol

    I was at the Cabelas in Post Falls, Idaho yesterday & saw the Pedersoli Howdah pistol for $599, from memory. However, they also had a 20g version in the Bargain Cave for $480. Didn't have a close look at it but it looked clean. Just thought someone on the forum might be interested.

    Thompson ID/Value

    Friend of mine recently inherited some guns from his Dad. There was only one muzzleloader, a T/C, I think it's a Renegade, in .54 caliber. He thinks his Dad bought it in the 1970s, the s/n is 18XX. Condition looks to be very good, though I haven't checked the bore yet. What kind of value would...

    Set-trigger Dilemma!

    OK, in reassembling my rifle, that worked perfectly beforehand, I'm finding that the single-set trigger won't hold. Here's what I'm finding: 1. Trigger will hold 'set' when out of rifle. 2. With trigger in rifle the 'set' will trip when the tang screw is tightened. 3. With tang screw...

    Argentine Matchlocks

    Came across another Matchlock Musket replica today, this one by Osvaldo Gatto in Argentina. They claim it is a copy of a German musket c.1580 in .61 caliber. I don't suppose anyone has seen one in the flesh(?). I discovered their website http://www.osvaldogatto.com.ar/ about a year ago when...

    Softening Lead

    OK, I know that you can harden a lead bullet by quenching it in water after releasing it from the mould. My question is, can you soften a hard bullet? I bought some 000 buckshot for use in a revolver but, compared to Hornady .350" RBs, they are quite hard & therefore difficult to seat with the...

    "Adams" I.D. Help

    Shooting the S/B Pistol....Advice Sought

    Recently bought a Pedersoli 'Mortimer' .44 caliber smoothbore flintlock pistol. I have only been able to take it to the range once for a limited testing. I was using a bare (knurled) ball & a felt wad over 20 & 25gns Goex 3Fg. Both loads seemed to want to shoot, but was getting a few wild shots...
