    how many have an 1861 navy?

    I bought a used one for my first BP revolver years ago. It came with a horribly done homemade frontsight dovetailed on the barrel, but I still have it and it's always shot well enough. It's set up for the shoulder stock, and I might get one at some point, since I really like the look of...

    Howdah powder charge?

    Well, my howdah pistol finally arrived at my the gun shop on wednesday the 20th (at 9:45am to be exact). Now I'm happy, though due to a slight paperwork malfunction it probably won't be delivered to my grasping hands for another couple of days. This will give me time to pick up a can of black...

    Howdah powder charge?

    Serial Fan, I'm up in Canada so ordering any firearms directly isn't possible. I was expecting at least a 3 month wait when I ordered it, but it should be in soon. at least I can look at your pictures until then.:D

    Howdah powder charge?

    Harry, as you well know my howdah has yet to reach my door, due to back orders.:banghead: However, I remain confident it will soon be mine and feel no need to complain yet.:cuss:

    Good looking knockabout gun there Harry. And with some character too.

    percussion SAA birdhead 3" at 25 meters

    I always find that I shoot better with guns that I really like, even if they're not configured in the most efficient manner. That is a neat looking little belly gun you've got there.

    The THR Walker Club

    Thanks for the input. I wasn't too bothered by the idea of lever drop, but chamber-skip was a bit more of a concern. I'll forego the third mod. dragoon in this case, and go straight to the wellspring of black powder mightyness.

    The THR Walker Club

    I'm thinking of getting a Uberti Walker some time in the near future, and I have a couple of questions for you guys concerning it, as one general question that's kind of related. 1st question, are the oval bolt stops prone to skip chambers, as I've heard in the past? Colt changed them to...

    You cleaned your revolver right, is it really clean?

    Those are great pics of a detail strip. I've never takent the guts out of my '61 navy's frame, having a bad habit of misplacing tiny bits, but I think I will, just to see what's going on in there. Until I started reading THR, I was never much of a fan of guns without their bluing, but there're...

    Pietta 1858 Remington

    As far as percussion revolvers go I tend to be a Colt man, but that is one sharp looking short barreled Remington.

    Howdah pistol range report

    I've started to pick up sundry bits to go along with my howdah pistol to pass the time as I wait for it to arrive. I ordered a replica US 1942 lanyard to put on the lanyard ring from Bowens. 1942 is a little late to be correct for a percussion howdah but I liked the look of it better than the...

    AR-15 Poll

    I have a Bushmaster that I'm very fond of. I didn't have too much experience buying or shooting EBR's before that, since I'm mainly an old west firearms kind of guy. I was surprised at how many makers there were for AR15's, as well as the dizzying array of configurations, options and doo-dads...

    Cowboy Action on CBS tonight

    I don't remember ever seeing any negative coverage on cowboy action shooting. I wonder why. You'd think the anti's would have found something to complain about with it by now. Maybe it's just too much fun to be seen as dangerous.

    The Citizen's Rifle

    Nolo, I like your rifle and I think your idea is correct on several levels. Even is a new AW ban isn't put forwards in the immediate future, or is put forward but fails to pass, everyone knows that it will come up again and again. A rifle that is at least resistant to such foolishness makes a...

    Thanks for the info Play Hard. Even a rough estimate of the painful wait ahead is helpful.

    Howdah pistol range report

    I'm up in Canada, and i don't know how my gun guy ordered it from. It's coming sometime in the future and that's good enough for me.:)

    Howdah pistol range report

    I finally ordered my howdah, in 20x20 of course. Woo hoo! It's backordered, since I think the demand was higher than pedersoli expected, but I can wait since the money to pay for it is on backorder as well.

    Howdah pistol range report

    It seems like everyone that buys one of these howdah's is going for the 20x20. I wonder if the .50 will be around very long. It seemed a bit small of a caliber for a howdah pistol anyway.

    Howdah pistol range report

    Serial fan, what are you thinking would be a good buckshot load? I'll mostly shoot ball out of mine (when I get it!). but a dose of double 'O' would be fun too.
