Hello everyone. I'm currently rebuilding a Berthier. My biggest problem is I'm missing s bunch of screws. Most I've been able to source but not the two that go through the stock to the receiver. Do any of you guys have this rifle and would have the length and thread pitch of them. I have access...

A family friend gifted me this Fowler over the weekend. Calling it rough would be a compliment I think but it had some interesting paperwork with it. The paperwork was written by a gunsmith out of Georgia who writes about the work he's done to the gun as well as his shop being burned down by...

Hey guys! So over the weekend I picked up a pretty nice(to me) 1884 springfield trapdoor. It's got a date stamp of 1898 stamped onto the stock but as I've done some research some things don't add up. For one it has the 73 style cleaning rod and bayonet instead of the spike bayonet. It's also got...

Help me decide! My shop has the M&P and various 1911s, most of which are by manufacturers I am unfamillar with. Right now I am leaning twards the M&P but the remington 1911 is close second(and about 20 dollars more). Pros and cons? Note This will be a general purpose handgun Thanks...

This weekend I picked up charleville that was converted to percussion, chopped down, and turned into a fowler. I believe its a 1777 model as it has the ribs on thr tigger guard and the cheek cut out. I also think its prussian due to the hammer. (cant show a picture of the lock right now. My...

My mom went to an estate sale friday and picked up 2 bp guns for me. One is a repro ethan allen pepperbox with the single shot style hammer and the other looks to be a boot pistol. I was told the ethan allen was chromed but it doesn't look to shiny. I have only seen pictures and won't get the...

Could you well educated gentlemen give me some pros and cons for each of these and recommendations please? This is my first handgun purchase and they all feel good to me so I'm stuck. Thanks in advance Gambit

Do I need to get the purchase permit when I put it on layaway, when I pick it up or both? I can't seem to find a answer. I would assume when you make the initial purchase but am unsure and I couldn't find it on the .gov page. I know this is a dumb question but this is my first handgun purchase...

First off thanks to old fluff for the instructions. Sense ive dissassembled my colt more times then i can remember the remington was pretty easy. I had a problem doing the grips but old fluffs trick got me past that. Now im stuck. I cant get the stop spring screw out. Ive tried the wd 40 and pb...

Do you guys know if anyone still makes .32 rimfire ammo. I have the chance to buy a smith and wesson model 1 and a half. The problem is I dont like to own any firearm I cant shoot. The gun is in perfect working order as well. Ive looked online but I cant seem to find any. Thanks Gambit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tWSvr5SiHg I took this video during the 2nd relay at the grayling national historic artillery shoot this weekend. I was in the first relay, and our group ended up winning the smoothbore shoot at 500 yards with 4 hits on the target and 2 on the house thingy. Ill...

CANNONS!!!! :D :D :D All these pictures are from reenactments and living histories over the years. This is an experimental 6 pound field gun. The tube is original, and we still fire it live.(steel lined now). There are only 3 of these left, as the rest either blew up :what:or were melted for...

My neighbor just showed me a bunch of guns a friend of his dropped off for him to sell. The remington was made in i believe 1867 or 68. it has no blueing left but the rifleing is great and everything is clean. only problem is the mainspring is broken. I know not a hard fix but the guy is selling...

:DSo after I got home from the live shoot ill admit I was exhausted and fell asleep. The next night I remembered I had a musket to clean. After all was said and done I ran out to the store. When I came home I couldnt help but notice a weird smell.:confused: No idea what it was. I could smell it...

Today was my first acwsa shoot today. an artillery shoot to be exact. We landed 5 out of 7 shots onto the target as well as one bullseye. The only downside is that it rained on and off all day, we delt with heavy winds and it was around 40 degrees or so. Of couse it stopped raining when the...
