I have several H&R break barrel rifles and shotguns. Most have a transfer bar safety. Does the huntsman have a transfer bar safety? If not, I...
Yes it has. Never had a problem with it.
I'm fond of the gray "rubbed back" look of cold blue using a scotch-brite pad and ballistol. My fowler has the same gray finish.
If it holds the powder in, and the plate moves freely, just use it as in and call it a success. Looks good!
Awesome! Thanks for checking.
As I said in a stupidly obvious way already, I don't have an x39 case. I don't shoot x39. I have an unfired x54r case and it fits 3/4 into the...
It has both expanders. .311 installed and .308 loose in the case. I guess the 54r and 39 both use the same expanders anyway. I don't have a 39...
I just received my rcbs die set from Brownells marked "F L Die Set 7.62mmx54R Russian" with p/n 29001, but the dies inside are engraved "7.62mm...
Thanks Mike!
Help me remember the best fix for when a cylinder locks up, and won't cycle, when caps are on the nipples. The cylinder cycles fine without caps...
Meh... This argument/debate is soooo old and tired. I would expect the India guns would be as safe or safer than those made here in the 1700's....

The frames don't warp and stretch so much as the recoil shield gets peened by the cylinder. Main problem is damage to the brass recoil shield...
The fact that they are easy to sell at the moment is why they aren't so easy to get at reasonable prices, new or used. Your selection for powders...
I always thought it more resembles a Spiller and Burr, especially the loading mechanism.
Seems a bit easy to pull the latch pin out. Have you tested it to see if the latch pin will move on recoil?
Nope, unfortunately, but if I eat some beans a few hours before shooting I can get the same effect.
The bayonet is French, and doesn't go with that sidelock rifle. Specifically it is St. Etienne model of 1877, and it fits on a model 1874 French...
That is correct. Sulfur is only really required to bring down the ignition temperature so a spark can ignite it (think flintlock). Sulfur-less...
