    Powder Cans

    I am wondering about the approximate age of a can of dupont 2fg. It predates the rectangular cans used during the last years of production. It is marked "1924" and is a flat oval shaped much like a pocket whiskey flask. Does anybody know the date range on this can design?

    LePage Flintlock

    http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=28457 Did substantial shooting with this today. Ignition was postive right up until I had the flint worn down to a short nub with nothing left to knap. I suspect about 70 rounds. I did not start to improve my accuracy until I started using...

    CVA Kit Flintlock

    Got sent one of these to begin a fairly steep learning curve vis: Flintlocks. This one has a lock plate just like my old percussion CVA mountain pistol- internal sear engagement adjustment screw that really works. The barrel is marked "Jukar." I did some shooting with it today and started to...

    Shooting 61 Navy

    Pretty good shoot today. I was using the nominally .380 balls from the Warren/ Ozark Bullet company. They are actually all different sizes and not particularly round but it seems to make little difference that some virtually slip into the chambers and others seat hard with a large sheer...

    Dragoon, Plains Pistol and Saw blade

    For no real or good reason, we decided to shoot up a circular saw blade yesterday. Somewhat interesting that the big guns shot right through it while the .38 special just made a dent.

    Session with 51 and 61 Navys

    The 51 is a Western arms /Uberti from 1976. This is the predecessor company for Allen Arms which later came under Cimarron. Back then they had a bunch of old Italian Army Rifle stocks and were using them for grips. Action is nice and smooth and the finish is excellent- Case treatment looks...

    Dragoon/Bullets/Swiss fffg.

    I've been shooting the Buffalo Bullets in .36 and .457(for Ruger Old Army) and have come to the conclusion that they are either as accurate as round ball or so close as to make no difference. they do hit several inches above the balls at reasonable ranges. Today we ran some of the Ruger sized...

    Uberti 61 Navy

    It shoots perfectly well with .375 balls even though the fit is marginal. I had 380s today and they are a better fit even though Warren Ozark does not keep them exactly the same size. The charge was a 22 grain spout full of pyrodex p - a load that averages out at about 1040 fps. My first...

    Fooling with a Ruger Old Army

    My memories and resentment of the Old Army both go back almost to the inception of it in 1973. A few years after it came out, a dude showed up at the local percussion revolver match with one of these tricked out with a one pound trigger and snatched first prize away from me and my CVA 58...

    Brecia revolver makers

    Does anybody know where Euroarms gets their revolvers?- Do they make them themselves and do they even still exist? How about Armi San Paolo? I never see any discussion of them and wonder if they still exist. I believe Palmetto Arms still exists as they have a web site. they make a number of...

    36 Caliber Remington New Model Navy-Uberti

    The .36 Caliber revolvers went into production in 1860 shortly ahead of the more familiar Remington /Beal .44s. They evolved along with the larger caliber and remained in production until 1875. A fair number went to the Confederate States of America before the outbreak of the Civil War and a...

    Old Can of Pyrodex P

    . The stuff came out in 1976, went in to full distribution in 1978 and very likely didn't reach Waco, Texas until 79. That's the way things happen around here. In any case, This can came from the first shipment to reach Waco. Johnny Bates tried it out and, learing that it was no easier to...

    Swiss FFFG VS Goex FFFG VS Pyrodex P

    Some light preliminaries this morning with the 60 Army, A Dragoon and a Lyman .50. Swiss has the rep for being hotter than other black powders as well as cleaner and more consistent. I haven't debunked any of those claims. The 60 Army- on different days with different conditions has clocked...
