The reason I am posting this url from YouTube is to demonstrate the firing of a Walker Colt (replica) in slow motion in darkened conditions using a Red Digital Cinema 4K camera. The firing is at about the 25 sec mark. Lots of flame. I served on this first episode of "Death and Compromise"...

Pic from movie I am working on: "Death and Compromise". I am a member of the cast/crew: prop master and assistant armorer. Being filmed at the old John Wayne Alamo set at "Alamo Village", near Brackettville, Boerne, and Lexington, Texas.

Were not most of the Patterson #5 revolvers shipped two per presentation case w/2 spare cylinders, with each spare cylinder specifically numbered to the revolver's sn?

Was it the common practice to simply shove a revolver inside ones trouser waist band since the use of belts on trousers was not yet a common practice and flapped revolver holsters on waist belts were not in use yet?

Interesting video http://www.forgottenweapons.com/rifles/treeby-chain-gun/

I've been absent for way too long, but came across this recently. Anyone ever tried their hand building such a beast? http://www.wideopenspaces.com/do-you-want-to-build-your-own-huge-2-bore-flintlock-musket-heres-how/

Howdy fellow THR pards: This year I will be working on putting together a "bucket list" project, a video web series entitled "Black Powder Weapons of the Old West". This series will be dedicated to the history of the use and handling of black powder weapons used by our forbears during the...

HAPPY NEW YEAR PARDS! I have been given access to some acreage in a Texas county jurisdiction (no city) with no neighbors/residences downrange past the property line which is at least 100yds downrange. For safety sake should I bring in sand and build a backup berm?, build some 6-12" thick...

Very informative article on weapons used by all combatants: http://www.westernerspublications.ltd.uk/CAGB%20Guns%20at%20the%20LBH.htm

Not necessarily black powder related, but a great web article on Elmer Keith: http://www.sixguns.com/bunkhouse/elmer_keith.htm

I was wondering what kind of pressures might be generated by a black powder .45 Colt cartridge conversion and the stresses generated on the frame as opposed to an equivalent weight/bp ball and powder charge in a non converted "ml" revolver?

Does anyone have a list of all Italian manufacturers of Sharps percussion and/or cartridge long guns? I'll start with the ones I know: Pedersoli and I.A.B.

Q. Tarentino's "The Hateful Eight" with an original score by Ennio Morricone in 70mm in select theatres. Looks promising. The Remington revolving carbine shows up again. Features a great cast IMHO.

For making holy black and guacamole...solid granite. Just need to make sure I don't mix em up.

On layaway via winning bid on GB. American Arms IAB Sharps Carbine. Edited with a couple more pics and a question. So were the original Sharps carbines equipped only with a sling rail for direct attachment to the swivel on the cross body sling and no ring?

2 years ago we had a spirited discussion on the Colt Forum regarding SNs on existing Walkers. One post listed known Walkers which pretty much covers the list in Whittingtons book 35 years ago plus some adds since then...

Several years ago I posted this pic of my gggpaw circa 1850-1865 on thus forum. Given that we have no doubt grown in membership since then, I thought I would post it again with the burning question: What open top revolver is he carrying? Remember, this is a reverse image as was the...

I had plum forgot how great this 1991 made for tv movie was, from the weapons to the tactics to the story itself. No doubt the trooper extras were reenactors, but I couldn't determine which organization. In the Wachita campaign, circa 1868, they were using Spencer repeating carbines and...

Perusing youtube, I came across this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OuSotikDzC8

Made ya look. Actually it is an cartridge adapter that will allow .45 Long Colt ammo to be used in a .450-.577 Martini Henry. Yeah I know a little .452 bullet on top of 40 gr of bp is an inaccurate powder puff load in a MH, but when the opportunity rose to acquire one of these for a future...
