    HELP! What nipples fit a Belgian centennial centaur?

    What I find on Belgian centennial centaur is that they used the same thread as original (1st gen.) Colt 1860s.

    Gunpowder cartridges in my smokeless guns or a dedicated gun?

    I shoot both in my Uberti Cattleman, they are easy to clean not as many small springs and pieces as in a Ruger.

    Barrel Wedge on my new Uberti 1851 Navy is locking up the cylinder

    Uberti "short arbor", does not bottom in the barrel and allows the barrel to pull too close to the cylinder.

    The Revolver Family has Grown.

    I cut pieces of plastic "soda straw" and slit them then put enough in side the spout to reduce the charge to what I need.

    The "BABY BEAST" says: "Happy New Year to you all". See ya in 2024

    Wisconsin had a wolf hunt in 2021, but the feds put it back on the endangered list. Our deer herd has been decimated. Now our DNR is working on a max. population.

    I load my .31 with FFFF black or 3-7 and they pack a respectable punch. I love spur triggers.

    Pietta1858 Remington cylinder bore inquiry:

    What I like to do is first remove a nipple load a bullet only then press it out and slug the barrel with it. If the bullet has full depth rifling marks it is good enough.

    Taught muzzle loading pistol today

    Some pack the action with synthetic grease, like Mobile 1 and then an open top is much easier to clean. Wash the barrel and cylinder and wipe the frame. Oil and done.

    4 screw Pietta 1860; shoulder stock screw issue

    45 Dragoon posted: I have removed the head down to almost flush, broke the edge smooth, polished to a high gloss, then fire blued . I then cut a screwdriver slot on the inside and installed . This plugs the hole with a decorative and flush "button". Best thing is, there's nothing to buy and you...

    Shout Out To 45 Dragoon

    The interesting thing about these forms is that there are a number of people that understand the working of things then there are those that can screw up a steel ball with a rubber hammer. Thanks to those that know and share.
