    Avenging Angel snub nose revolver club

    Here is my Shorty. I like to keep a conversion cylinder in it. I have done a few of the more popular mod to it, but most recently I did Pettifogger's hand spring replacement. Still needs some smoothing out, but a well worth while mod.

    Wad in a BP 45 Colt load.

    Yes. I have been loading 30 grains of Pyrodex RS, felt wad, and topping it off with a Big Lube El Paso Pete Ultra Gamer 45 Caliber 150 grain bullet. The bullet is about as tall as it is wide, so a wad and a slight compression works good for me.

    Do you have a use for the '51 parts ? ;)

    1851 Colt Conversion question

    I have been loading El Paso Pete Ultra Gamer 45 Caliber 150 grain Big Lube bullets on top 30 grains of Pyrodex with a lubed wad. These bullets print close to the same as a round ball on a target, albeit I only shoot at close range :D.

    Lubed Wad Question

    Can a lube be too stiff to be effective? [My wife is laughing at my question :o] I have been using 50/50 bees wax and olive oil for a GP lube for my revolver wads. I found a spent wad some time ago and the lube was still for the most part intact and no evidence of the blast melting it. The gun...

    Colt Open Top Clones/Copies: What mods do you do/have done

    What does this do for you besides a positive stop for the hammer. I like to use trigger stops in a similar fashion. Is it basically the same?

    Pietta 1858 Target sights

    I had a new sight dovetailed in... I got the sight from Track of the Wolf. I also had to take some off of the rear to get what I wanted.

    What Does Your Cylinder Hold?

    I loaded my Remington that way one time... the loading lever dropped each time like a Walker Colt, and it had a hell of a kick. Enjoy :D

    Lane shotshell loader in .410 for BP shells and range report

    I had a problem with bees one summer day. I took one of my brassers in .44 and made a square load of powder, wad, rock salt and another wad to hold it together. A steady shot worked every time.

    Reloading .45LC with BP

    It always read .45LC ;). I am looking at the Classic Lee Loader to start out with. I have been shooting cap and ball for some time now, so I know about lubes and the dangers of air between ball and powder. I want to get the best rounds I can instead of wasting time and money :).

    Driven by Fear... Do I Need an AR?

    Thanks for the replies. I have a bolt gun in .270, lever gun in .30-30, several shotties and handguns... you get the picture. Obama/Biden are looking to make history again and with the momentum that current events have created, stupidity may ensue. I don't need an AR, but I don't want to miss...

    Driven by Fear... Do I Need an AR?

    Ladies and Gentlemen, As the title says, with all that is going down in our country, do I need to buy an AR before I can't get one? I have been looking at an NEF/H&R .223 single shot for some time and I would be happy with it. FEAR of what our current administration is capable of makes me...
