Thank you 4v50Gary. These have been good, informative and enjoyable reading over the years for me.

I posted this a few years ago on another forum but never got a definitive answer so I will post it here. I have an 1851 Colt reproduction. On top of the barrel it is marked Euroams of America. On the right side next the rammer the barrel is marked ASM Black Powder only. From what I have always...

Grafs has their house brand BP on sale for $12.99 lb. Cheaper than when I bought 2 years ago. Need to order some more. If you can get a couple of other people to go in on a buy ends up being a good deal...

I have an 1851 Colt reproduction. On top of the barrel it is marked Euroams of America. On the right side next the rammer the barrel is marked ASM Black Powder only. From what I have always read was that ASP became Euroarms. It wouldn't seem logical to me to sell your competitors product. I...

I have 5 old revolvers and one cartridge conversion cylinder for my repro 1849 that are .32 S&W, all but two are for the short. I am going to load some BP cartridges for them. I have both short and long cases. In doing a comparison on case length with my factory ammo that is also both short and...

Classic Firearms has just lost me as a customer. They sent me an email this afternoon about their $99.00 MN rifles. I went online 10 mins later and tried to buy one. Three hours later I gave up. I was going to buy over $1,000.00 of guns and ammo and now they have lost my business forever. It...

I was debating on whether to pose this question here or on Blackpowder Shooting and decided to start here. I have a few 32 S&W breaktop revolvers that are blackpowder only. I got some 32 S&W brass and have on order some 32 S&W cast 98 Gn WCBB. My question, is it ok to seat these out to the...

I got to thinking again(I know it will get you trouble) about loading black powder in the MN 7.62 x 54R. The rifles are cheap enough to have one dedicated to shooting black powder. I did some Googling and found a lot of people don't think it feasible. Some said that you could not stuff enough BP...

This one got my attention:D http://www.armslist.com/classifieds/oregon/muzzle-loaders

I was looking at a reproduction Springfield the other day that was priced fairly cheap. I had been looking for a Trapdoor, but haven't found one I like. Then it hit me, could you take one of the repro's, buy a trapdoor receiver and make one like they did originally or are the repro's out of spec...

Looking on Gunbroker at the black powder revolvers and noticed that prices were not as high as they were a few months ago. Ruger Old armies are going begging at $475.00, a few months ago they were selling like hotcakes for $550-600.00. I gave up looking at the black powder section a few months...

I realize this is a rather odd topic but I am going to ask anyway. First of all I realize if you try to vacuum powder residue and especially black powder you are just inviting trouble. But I have two Rainbow/Rexair vacuums that are totally different than other vacuums. For those who are not...

I am looking at 7x57 Remington rolling block. I just emailed the seller for more pictures of it. He says the barrel is sewer pipe but he had a gunsmith check the rifle and supposedly the action is tight and in good shape. Does anyone know what calibers it could be relined to or maybe just...

Every once in a while there arises the old argument, were 2nd cylinders for percussion revolvers used. I don't know the answer but there is an 1863 Remington Pocket 31 on GunAuction now with a second fitted cylinder. I don't know how to tell whether it was used at the time or something someone...

There was a thread started in February of this year inquiring as to where the GOTC is and the moderator closed it. Apparently it is not proper form to inquire as to what has happened to a member that has contributed a lot of knowledge, help & information to members of this forum. I hope he has...

Hi I just bought an H&R Model 1904 .32 S&W revolver that is in good condition. The one question I have is the cylinder supposed to freewheel when the hammer is all the way down? When cocked the bolt come up and locks the cylinder tight. I remember reading somewhere that the cylinder on some...

I have been married to my wife for 29 years now and she still surprises me once in a while. I have had guns all our marriage so my wife is not anti gun, she is just apathetic to them. I have tried to get her to go shooting with me for years but have had no success to get her to shoot. I bought a...

I came across locally a Savage 1907. It seems to be in good shape looking at the pictures of it. I know that I will have to look at it in person to see the actual condition of the gun, but what is the value of these guns nowadays? He is asking $300.00 for it. Thank you.

A friend of mine called me and related this story about one of his in laws. The lady's husband passed away a few months ago and in going through his things they found a bunch of guns. They sold some of the less expensive guns and kept the more expensive guns. Among the guns that were left were 2...
