    Uberti Sharps 45-70 sight issues and resight at 300 Yards

    Had to resight my sharps. Beware of BP residue on your vernier sight. I cleaned my rifle but probably neglected the sight and it rusted and could not be adjusted. Soaked it in solvent and salvaged it. Shot at 200 and 300 yards and got back on track. This target 300 yards. 405 gr bullet. APP 2f.

    44-40 in a 45 Colt - Sometimes you just get lucky when you do something stupid

    First, I have been shooting and reloading for over a half century without incident. Well, none of consequence anyway. Wednesday is a day when I leave in the morning, go to one club and shoot long range rifle, and any number of personal carry and competition pistols. From there to the skeet...

    Question on accuracy

    Have a new pair of single action Colt clones in 44-40 shooting 3f BP with 200grRNFP bullets. Took them to the range to print them on paper. Ten shots each pistol off padded rest. Nice tight groups from each at 25 feet. One dead center bullseye, the other dead center 3 inches low. Front sights...

    Rat Rod?

    A friend of mine gave me this Pietta 1851. It was all rusted and had a broken hand and spring. Ordered a new part from VTI and cleaned off the rust, so much for the bluing. I think I'll leave it this way. Looks kind of cool. By the way, fitting that new hand and spring was fun. Must have...

    Pietta 1851 Navy

    I have a .44 cal revolver and broke the hand and spring part no 7. After replacing it, I cannot get the hammer to cock when pistol is assembled. When cylinder and barrel are removed I can cock the hammer at half and full no problem. Timing is good on bottom bolt. Anyone have any ideas?

    Good deal

    Got together with some fellow shooters and ordered 4 cases of APP direct from company. Cost worked out to $16.25 per pound shipped to our door. Always helps to save, especially when you shoot a lot.

    Strange Powder Storage Idea?

    In my reloading room in the basement there is a steel insulated door that leads to the hatchway to the outdoors. It is concrete and about 4'x 6' x 6' with a steel Bilco type door on the outside. I was wondering if this would be an ideal storage space, or would the temp variations in summer and...

    Fixed sight replacement for Ruger Old Army

    Just wondering if anyone has seen a fixed sight replacement for the ROA. I can shoot the them in CAS but not in certain categories. I was thinking I can certainly fabricate some.

    Ruger Old Army Quick Change Cylinder Conv

    Does anyone know if the Belton Mountain outfit is still in business? I placed an order over a month ago and can't seem to get in touch through e mail or by phone. I have left messages. Maybe they head South for the Winter?
