Navy Arms early production repo 1863 Remington Zuoave,1968 vintage, 58 cal, bought new, this is the best shooter of several ML guns I have owned, 45, 50 and 54.
Load; 58 cal Lyman 505g Hollow base Mini, pure lead, base filled with modeling clay, 75 & 80gr FFF for general shooting.
And that would be a "holieo molieo" !!!! That Hawgie is a regular encyclopedia of stuff!!!!
Awesome . . .

I’ve often wondered why the trivia sticks like glue while money making stuff is so hard to implant…I pick up the odd bit of trivial information here and there. Important stuff not so much.
The one I am shooting the most and thoroughly enjoy, a Bondini Le Page.

Ummm you missed the target! As nice as that pistol is it’s not really worth keeping around and I can darn near feel your disappointment from here! I’m a generous guy. I’ll trade you one that has hit targets and take that one off your hands.

This is the gun that started it all for me. It's a Rigarmi 58 Remington I bought brand new in 1969 when I was 12. I probably put it through more hell than any original went through during the war. It was already rough looking so I defarbed it and aged it to look more like an original I once had.

@hawg, what was your process to defarb and age that?

I’m generous that way!!I concur.... You'd be doing that guy a solid!
I wish like heck that ruger would start producing the Old Army revolvers again
1800 Baker rifle. Wanted one so bad, ordered a Rifle Shoppe kit. Took me 8 months to finish. Drilling the correct angled holes into the lock and tang were white knuckle nerve wracking experiences. TRS cut all the dovetails, soldered the bayonet lug and built the lock for me. I also really like civil war carbines but thats a broad brush.
