Cowhide Cliff: I got some Ultramax cowboy loads (smokeless), says on the midwayusa that " All Ultramax ammunition is loaded to SAAMI specs. Ultramax packages their Cowboy Action ammunition in historically authentic packaging and shoots well in vintage firearms. So what you're saying is that it...

Hey fellas thanks a lot for all your feedback, truly appreciate it. The main problem was indeed the extractor spring, i pried it up just a smidge and lubed it. Also cleaned the small cavity the extractor goes into, it has some crud in it as well. I've cycled some real ammo through it without...

Hey guys, I recently was gifted an original 1873 winchester in .44-40. I bought some snap caps along with a box of ultramax ammo in same caliber for it to cycle through and get a feel for it. Problem was, it seats the bullet just fine in the chamber, but upon pulling the level back down to...

Howdy folks, just noticed something funny on the show, here's a screen grab. Had no idea they had those stamps back then! :D

Just another ignoramus trying to make a buck without using their brain. When does this idiocy end.... And yes he is blocking people that question his design.

Anyone notice when officer friendly confiscated the guy's .45, he barrel swipes him from shoulder to shoulder? Good grief...

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this has been posted somewhere yet, if so mod please delete it. This video made my blood boil, the ignorance of these officers of the law :mad: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=881_1366142313

Dr How, Looks like a Howell conversion cylinder. And you can install them the same way as your original cylinder, no fitting required. And while on topic on this particular cylinder, when I cock my remmie all the way, the firing pin does not seem to be exactly centered when I look at it dead on...

Whats with the grinding sound in your videos??

If I was one of those guys, I would be very paranoid about someone accidentally loading a ball in one of those, out of habit.

Here are some funny but obviously dangerous vids. I'm sure some of you have seen these already, just saved a few from liveleak. Guy nearly knocks teeth out with old pistol http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7c9_1323532756 I Think Someone Just Lost an Eye (More Black Powder Stupidity)...

Have you not read the entire thread sloop? I thought we were already past the 'durrr buy a modern gun hurrr" part. some people's kids....

Just realized what arcticap said, it probably is a pistol (which in my opinion fires even more reliably since the hammer usually strikes a lot harder than a revolver). I have a loaded Kentucky pistol as well sitting in the safe, I put these two super magnets on the side that I can barely even...

Look David E, I'm just answering the guy's question with my own experience. Too bad it took you 3 caps to set yours off after only a week, you obviously did something different than I did. If he does not have access to a modern firearm for whatever reason, that's his business. I don't...

Hey Ken, Don't mind some of the more cranky members here, they post too much for their own good. As for your question, I had stored a 'loaded' pietta 1860 (no percussion caps on it, just ball and powder, no wad, no wax on the nipples) 2 years ago in a small box with one of those moisture...
