    You sure it's a rimfire? If so, it's not likely a .38. Possibly a .41. (o)(-) ----0000--(..)--0000----

    Don't shoot it! That is not a Smith & Wesson, Harrington Richardson or an Iver Johnson. Those three are the only ones I'd even consider shooting (I have two H&Rs, a 1902 Premier Hammerless and a standard Premier c.1930). What you have is probably a foreign knockoff. Giveaway is the odd grip...

    J B Weld

    JB Weld trigger job on a Pietta M1860 Colt The small button of JBW holds the trigger sear far enough off the back of the tumbler shelf to eliminate creep and make the break like glass. A scant drop of JBW is applied to the hammer after heating the hammer to 170 degrees in the oven...

    Yeah. It is kinda intimidating. It was made while I was experimenting with photo tricks to use on the internet, and was surprised how powerful the image was. Then I stuck stuff in the barrel... whole differn't effect: It's unfortunate that this picture gives some folks offense. Experience...

    about smokless....and c@b's

    Recoil begins at shotstart. While the bullet is still in the barrel, apparent recoil before bullet crowning is the effect of the force on the gun caused by mass centroid remaining constant (inertia) while mass distribution (bullet position) changes. After crowning, recoil is mainly reaction...

    about smokless....and c@b's

    I believe Recoil is at work here. The second ball exits after the first but the barrel is in recoil and slightly above the position for the exit of the first ball. Depending on the shooter's grip, some horizontal displacement can be seen as well as vertical displacement of the POI. Change in...

    Danger Radius of BP?

    Went on a family vacation last August. Worried about what would happen if we had a garage fire while away. So... I dug a hole in the back yard out by the back wall big enough to put a 16 gallon Rubbermaid tub in. Put a few bottles of Graf's BP in the tub, put on the lid, put the tub in a...

    dry fire cap and ball revolver?

    A small, folded up piece of paper towel in the hammer channel on a Colt 1860 works well for cushioning the hammer fall against the frame and still miss hitting the nipples. Check to make sure the paper is thick enough to keep the hammer off the nipples. Not enough paper will allow the hammer...

    Ok This might sound very Retarded....

    I haven't, but considering how a suppressor is constructed, I'd imagine after two or three rounds it would probably suppress the ball as well as the sound! :rolleyes:

    C&R benifits and costs?

    I am not an attorney. What follows must necessarily be considered my opinion. As I understand it, a class 3 FFL holder may purchase out of state any C&R listed weapon and import it into CA with the exception of CA defined "handguns." CA C&R "handguns" may be purchased when out of state and...
