Thanks, but I know how it's put together. What I'm not sure about is the action. The rod slides under the 'finger', which causes the spring to pivot upwards about the pin. The question is, upon what does the spring impinge to cause tension? Either the area just behind the finger contacts...

Black Power load? Izzat like this?

I just picked up a recent Euroarms P1853 Enfield. The ramrod just kinda slides in and out of the channel, there's no indication that it engages the spring. I pulled the barrel and there's nothing obviously amiss, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work: the ramrod 'bumps' the spring...

Good advice, for sure.

In my experience (which is singular), they do. I returned a Pietta Remington New Model Pocket that was a complete POS, they refunded my shipping based upon a 'book rate' that was several dollars more than I actually spent. Good customer service, no question.

You can have a pair. Just PM me your address! The only caveat is, they really only like Remington #10s. Bigger caps need pinched to stay on.

I'm in Indiana, and I read the code pretty thoroughly on this. It seems that indeed, one can carry in Indiana. Indiana code dealing with firearms is IC 35-47. From IC 35-47-2 and IC 35-47-5: IC 35-47-2-19 Application of chapter Sec. 19. This chapter does not apply to any firearm...

Interesting. Mine are both .630. On the topic of nipples...I noticed that the factory nipples are way too tall - the hammers smack them pretty hard. They're the same thread as Uberti Walker/Dragoon nipples, and I had several sets lying around after swapping Tresos into my revolvers. I...

I bought one from Cabela's, the $200 off bit drew me in. Took it to the range for the first time yesterday - I'm using #1 buckshot, ten pellets (about an ounce). Tried 40-, 45-, and 50-grain loads (3F Swiss)...liked 45 the best. At 25 feet, I got patterns about a foot in diameter, and also...

I think the cheapest way to shoot (looking purely at per-shot costs, not including the gun and equipment) ML rifle would be a Savage ML10 and full-caliber hard-cast bullets. Smokeless costs the same as or a little more than black, but you use about 1/3 the amount. Casting your own bullets...

Near as I can tell, Cimarron definitely offers some tangible advantages, and may offer others. The definite advantages are, they tend to offer more versions and finishes. This is mostly true in the cartridge guns, but even in the percussions they offer fancy finishes that no other...

I'd be surprised if the extra two inches of barrel gained you any appreciable velocity, even with a 150-grain load.

I bought one from Cabela's last time they ran that sale (last fall). Sent it back same day. Total POS. Barrel was loose in the frame, I could rotate it with no effort. It's a toy. Even if it was made well, it's a $125 gun, not twice that.

I believe that's true in Indiana as well..same with armed robbery and the like. But if I had, say, a conviction for embezzlement or somesuch nonviolent felony, I'd still be allowed BP guns here.

Yeah, well, Bill also died in 1876, only a few years into the cartridge revolver era. I suspect that if he'd lived another ten years, he'd have made the change too.

It might be a 'mith' in WA, but not everywhere. Can't speak to the domestic violence angle, but I know that in Florida, nonviolent felons can possess and hunt with percussion weapons (as long as they are 'old' designs, i.e. no inlines). Same in Indiana, state law specifically excludes...

I have two sets of the Lee dippers. One set I use only for pistols; I marked them on the bottom with a finepoint Sharpie, indicating the 3F equivalent per the Lee chart. The other set I use with my Savage ML10. For pistols, I use one of those plexiglas T/C flasks and a little craft tray I...

I don't think corrosive caps have been made in "the West (USA, Canada, Western Europe)" in decades. Maybe not in forty years. Certainly any recent CCI, Remington, RWS (Nobel), etc. are noncorrosive.

The fact that BP is about 75% KNO3 and only about 10% S gives a pretty clear hint in that direction.
