    T/C New Englander Rear Sight

    Does anyone know how to remove the rear sight on the New Englander? I've got a beat up 50 cal barrel that needs to be replaced. Some of the auction sights have used ones listed, but the less expensive ones are missing the rear sight. I can scavenge the sight from my existing barrel, but can't...

    CZ-75B Failure to Extract

    Got a new CZ-75B a few months ago and have probably put >500 rounds thru it so far. Everything is stock, i.e. no spring or sight changes, etc. I've got both factory and Mec Gar mags. The State Politburo only allows 10 round cap. I mostly use a Maglula speedloader, but sometimes load the mags...

    9mm Ammo Suggestions for CZ75B

    Will be picking up a new 75B soon and will mainly use it to punch paper and hit steel at a local range. I'm looking to stock up on ammo before the CA internet/mail order death knell hits in January. Black Friday deals will help here. Any recommendations for standard and lighter recoil loads...

    California C&R License

    Does anyone know if an average citizen in CA can obtain a C&R license? This assumes that the license applicant is already legally able to purchase firearms from a CA FFL. Thanks.

    Ball stuck in rifle barrel

    So I loaded up my T/C New Englander 50 cal and forgot the powder (not the first time I've done it, DOH!:banghead:) After several failed attempts to charge the breech via the nipple hole and fire I resorted to using my ball extractor screw on a rod. Well, the extractor sheared off inside of...

    Walker Trigger Question

    I've had an Uberti Walker for several years now and did a complete disassembly on it. My son reassembled it using an exploded diagram....he's better than me on that! So , now that it's all put back together, if we do a "lazy" i.e. slow trigger pull, the hammer locks into the half cock...

    Walker Spare Parts

    Greetings, The main spring on my Uberti Walker broke at the range today. I'm going to order a replacement from VTI. Can any of you recommend any other parts to have around as spares? I'd prefer to just make one order for multiple parts. Thanks.

    Walker Accuracy

    OK, so my son and I went to the range this week with my Uberti Walker. We loaded 35 gr 2f GOEX w/ Ox Yoke Wonder Wads and 457 Speer balls. We started with paper targets 5 to 7 yds away. Of course, my son's groupings were way better than mine! Many close to or on center of target. Even...

    CO2 Unloaders

    Does anyone have any experience with these such as the Saf-T-Unloader? I had to cut my range trips short on several occasions with a stuck ball in my 50 cal T/C New Englander. I end up using a ball puller on the cleaning rod. The ball is usually so tight I have to take the barrel off, dump/wet...

    Cable lock for Mosin Nagant 91/30

    So I picked up my "new" (circa 1926) MN at the dealer today. The State required that I purchase a cable lock for the chamber in order to be able leave the store and take it home. These locks are easy to install on guns w/ removable clips, but I can't figure out how to install it properly on...

    Red dot sight for Mosin Nagant 91/30

    I'm not sure if this should go in the "Firearms Accessories" forum instead. Has anyone ever used a red dot sight on a 91/30? Yes it's probably blasphemous to mount such a thing on a gun that's almost 100 years old! I've searched the forums and other sites and got plenty of info on scout...

    T/C New Englander Misfires

    I've been using GOEX ffg (50-80 gr.), 50 cal RB, 0.015 lubed patch, and CCI #11 caps. I brush the bore and clean the nipple every couple of shots and then it's a crapshoot when the trigger is pulled if there will be ignition. Three times at the range, and three times leaving early after a...

    Pedersoli Brutus 94

    So, I'm cruising the Cabela's site and they have this rifle on their site for 99 bucks (reg $129). It's listed as a new item. Has anybody seen or heard of this one before? Is someone else making it for Pedersoli? I can't figure out how to post the link for it here. Pedersoli also shows it on...

    Dragoon Question

    This BP forum is an excellent source for information! Thanks to you all for helping out us newcomers. I went to a local gun shop last week and was loking at the Uberti 1858 NMA, but they had two used Dragoons there. I think one was a 1st or 2nd model and the other was a 3rd model because of...
