Hi, I'm looking at a 1946 39A. It has checkered stocks, a period scope rail and weaver v22 3-6 variable scope. Would the checkering, scope rail and scope be original? Here is a pic: http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt227/DMS1/e54ac99b.jpg Thanks

First off sorry for the poor quality of the video...Here is how to break-down a Winchester Model 1885 for cleaning. This applies to both the Low Wall and High Wall. I made this video after finding information on disassembly to be hard to find and hearing these were difficult guns to take...

Getting closer to Christmas so here's a bump.

For lovers of the Colt SAA I have put together this calendar from photos I collected (all my own work) for over a year of Blackpowder Colt SAA revolvers I have owned. I just received a few copies and they look great. I gave one to a buddy at work today and he loved it. They turned out...

Went out today with them. I got a second in Nickel. :D At 10yrds I barely hit anything, the two holes covered with tape are the only two that hit the paper at that distance. I shot a larger board and the shots were all going about 10" high and 3-4" right. I moved it in to 4-5yrds and these...

This is what my rounds will look like, the one on the left, compared to a normal round on the right. I don't want to trim my brass so I will trim the bullets instead. The next photo shows an empty full size case, a trimmed round and regular round in the cylinder. The last photo shows...

I fixed the hand issue and also made a new mainspring after it broke. I cast up two kinds of hollow base bullets both from a Rapine 386185. The first has a small hollow and with the bullet nose cut off in full length cases should produce bullets weighing about 140-145gr. The second I cast...

I know what is going on, my hand has two levels and due to the bottom hand the top hand protudes too far into the frame and contacts the case heads causing binding. Without any cases loaded the action functions fine. Here are pics:

So I just got one, a second model. It's extremely clean. I took apart to give it a good cleaning and try to fix an issue with binding in the timing. It looked like the bolt edge was hitting the case heads (I had spent casing loaded to dry fire it). It still seams to bind so my question is...

Hi, does anyone know the largest caliber the 1885 Low-Wall originally came in? I have an original in 44-40 and was wondering if that was the biggest.

I just found the listing for that new line, looks nice but $5500 is an insane price! Does the name engraved on the cylinder make it that high? I just got a blue/cc one for fraction of that to go with my nickel one, condition is fairly on par with the one in that listing.

I don't have it yet, it probably just shipped out Friday. http://www.antiquearmsinc.com/colt-new-line-revolver-6.htm The bolt on the 1st model is just like a SAA, while the 2nd model went with the design later used on the Lightening/Thunderer guns. I have my eye on a 2nd model in blue/CC...

Looks like it grips the rifling quite well. I bought a nice nickel plated 1st model in 41 cal. I was thinking taking one of my full sized rounds and cutting the nose of the bullet off to make a wadcutter the length of the case may make a decent round. I'll report my attemps once I have a...

Thanks for the reply Lech, I am looking at one of these as my next gun, still thinking about what I would load to shoot it. Based on measurements it looks like full length Starline cases would fit the cylinder with a wadcutter type bullet. I have tried the heeled base early on and am not a...

Is Olive Oil okay? I have been lubing my BP guns with modern Outer's Gun Oil.

Make your Dillon Super Swage 600 AUTOMATIC! All you need is a length of string, an elastic and a large washer of some kind. :cool: First make a loop of the string that goes from the nut on the end of the case holder to the handle. I tied my string off at the handle end. At the handle end...

How did you make out with it Lech? I'd be curious to know if you could get away with using a 185gr hollow base bullet.
