    Pietta parts sources

    I bought a project Pietta pistol (may become a belly gun), and some of the screws are boogered. I found Taylor's and I'm sure Dixie has them, but are there other good sources?

    CVA Mountain pistol

    I went up to visit my dad and some other relatives over the weekend, and part of the plan was to see if I could find any deals in gun shops up that way. Instead, my dad asks me, do you want a pistol? Years ago I bought a .50 pistol just because it was a good deal. My dad had a .50 rifle I...

    Uberti Leech and Rigdon

    I was snooting around on a different forum and found someone selling an Uberti L&R at a very good price. After kicking it around a while, I bought it. It's not correct in that it has the Colt Navy scene on the cylinder. Apparently Uberti used to make them with plain cylinders, but it's...

    Walker Colt-Good, Bad, and Ugly

    I picked up a barely used Uberti Walker Colt a couple weeks ago, and got to the range today. So here's the drill: Good-My loading lever does not drop, so that's one middle age worry averted. On a line loaded with AR15s, the Walker does get attention. When I was packing up, a guy came by and...

    First day out with my new GM .62

    I finally got out to the range with my new GM .62 barrel, which I stuck on a Renegade stock. Problem number 1. Range was busy, so I'm next to a guy who tells me "I love muzzlebrakes." No kidding. Geraldo loves having his beard blown back by a braked .300WM. I think that maybe .300WM is...

    Black powder burn rate question

    Does anyone know or have a link to information about the burn rate of BP in a barrel? In other words, does barrel length matter in relation to the charge of BP as it does with slow/fast smokeless powders?

    .32 questions

    My dad just gave me an older Traditions .32 rifle. I've tried some searches, but haven't found much info on loading. After reading a builders site that said that #1 buck would work well as PRB, and I'm wondering if anyone has tried it. #1 is .300, so it seems to me that it would need .020...

    TC or custom kit?

    I want to get back to shooting a flinter, and I'm currently toying with two ideas. First, a TC flinter. I have a few percussion TCs, so I could scrounge up a lock and buy a TC RB barrel and just swap parts. On the other hand, given what that would cost, I would be well on my way to buying a...

    New to forum

    I bought my first ML 25 years ago, and shot BP (especially flinters) almost exclusively for years. In the interim I tried out other forms of competition with more modern hardware, but I guess I can't get black powder out of my veins, and I've had a resurgance of interest lately. I was looking...
