    My first .36 revolver

    I noticer the ones who complain about brass stretching usually over charge the revolver. I have several and have no problem with any of them. And I fire them regularly.

    My blunderbuss options

    I picked up the flinter. This is so I can do Mt. Man or early 1800's reenactments. Caplocks weren't around that early(1820 ish).

    My blunderbuss options

    You can get the same blunderbuss in flint. I picked up one last fall. Works fine. Watch the Youtube video of a guy who will use it for turkey hunting.

    New Uberti 1861 Navy from Midway. Buyer Beware!

    Did you happen to take a peek at the date of manufacture? It may have been kicked around their warehouse for a couple of years.

    musket caps available

    my local gun shop has plenty of Tophat musket caps, the problem seems to be #10, and 11 pistol caps are next to impossible to find. And if you do find them the price is outrageous.

    Swivel Gun Mounting

    I use wood with a pipe sleeve in it. When done for the day I just hand tighten a cap on it.

    Spiller & Burr

    I just picked up a Spiller & Burr pistol yesterday at a local gun show. It was sold new, no box, I believe original shipping oil is on it. Now my problem is identifying it. it has both proof house marks on it and the manu. date XXX which I have gathered means 1974. But I can't ID the...

    Holsters and rust?

    I live in a high humidity area. Michigan. The great lake is about 30 miles away, and I have one of the major inland lakes less than 1/4 mile from my front door. My safe is one of those inexpensive Stack-On. So not air, or water tight. I store my modern as well as Cap and Ball pistols and...

    Miniature cannon idea

    Check on Ebay for tubes and cannons. Prices arn't bad. But you have to know what your looking for, and what it is. I am getting kinda paranoid, so I don't post pictures of my weapons on the net any longer.

    I Don't Like my 1851 Colt

    Take your gun to a smithy. I had my blast shield milled out to better accept the caps. Also for that nameless stuff that you can't mention (conversion cylinder with a loading gate) oops I mentioned it. Or what you can do is just go buy yourself a Confederate Dance Brothers, it has no...

    Logic and homemade cannons

    A feller was killed a couple days ago here in Michigan firing his homemade cannon. Luckily he was the only one injured. People say they heard the explosion 2-3 miles away. Not much on details though. No idea of how it was made, what powder he used, what he used for construction. I wish...

    Pietta Model 1858 brass

    Except of course the Spiller & Burr, it was based upon the Whitney. And in .36 caliber.

    Pietta Model 1858 brass

    Artificer' You are wrong in many ways. Brass is cheaper to run if run right. You use lighter loads so your cost per shot goes down. Basically what you do is use them not abuse them!. And my 2 oldest pistols are a couple of Brassers. I have had them for years one is a non copy of anything...

    Pietta Model 1858 brass

    But some of us will use brass because of various: reasons: 1- It looks so nice all polished and shiny 2- A bit cheaper in cost, and to run on a limited budget. 3- The 2 of 3 confederate manufactured revolvers were in brass and goes with the impression your doing. 4- you just want to be contrary.

    Solution to the dry-firing problem???

    As a civil war reenactor, I have to answer your statement. We do not ever point weapons at others. WE all are trained to elevate above the other sides head. That is why when we get too close it looks like we are duck hunting. Also when we shoot at someone on the ground it may look to...
