Found this at Cincinnati.com Pretty cool looking, it's amazing what a little bit of the holy black can accomplish. http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080624/VIDEO05/306240071/1168/NEWS

I did not want to hijack a thread elswhere on here so I figured I would start a new one. I know it is bad to dry fire a .22. I have four rifles and one handgun in this caliber. The handgun is a Ruger SAS and they say it is fine to do so. I say BS. I have a peen mark right next to one...

Can I use magnum small pistol primers in place of (regular) small pistol primers. I reload for .357mag/.38 special. I have a very limited amount of .357 brass but a boatload of .38 brass. I was able to acquire near 1000 magnum primers at a good price. So can I use the mag primer in .38...

I took the 1873 out in the woods today. Just felt the need to make some smoke. I am sure yall can relate a little. I bought a pound of Goex Pinnacle from Bass Pro Shop last weekend, had a coupon from them that saved me some money. So I thought I would give it a try today. Well first off...

I have been reading about conversion cylinders for '58 Remmies. Please don't tell me the search feature is my best friend. Hate that response. And I can basically never find what I am looking for using that dumb thing anyway. If you got a R&D cylinder for your .44 what specific rounds...

GotC tell us more Fuff, I am not referencing the Deadwood TV show. This was Wild West Tech. I believe the channel guide said it was produced in 2006 or 2004. Odd that this was the first time I have seen this episode of that show. Did not think i have missed any of them. According to todays...

Okay, first off I know it is immature to want to do this. but I am fascinated by the spinning of revolvers. Where do people learn this? Anyone have any tips? Personally I think my fingers are too fat for it and when I do try I always do it over the bed because it always ends up...

I was reading a thread on another subforum here pertaining to range bags. Got me to wondering what you all haul your BP stuff to the range in. I have a 50 cal. army surplus ammo box that holds all my BP shooting supplies just fine, but if I am shooting away from home I have to carry a...

Reb 1851 its a Pietta!

I am wanting to buy a set of screw drivers or bits to use on Colt and Remington revolvers. I have found some that I thought were good but then you read the review on the Midway website and there is a lot of difference of opinion. what do I need to prepare myself to pay to get a decent set...

A while back someone here posted a pic of a 1851 Navy variation. I may well have this name wrong. does it ring a bell with any of you? If so can you post a pic and brief history of that particular firearm?

Anyone ever load shot (pellets) into their revolver? how'd it work out? What did you use?

Not wanting to be a thread hijacker I started a new thread. the post I stole this from suggested that these would equate to four different size caps. Can someone explain it better? Maybe lay them out from smallest to largest. I am using CCI #10 caps and they fit tight but seem just a...

In a lot of pics I see cap and ball revolvers having a white finish rather than blue. Do you all buy them this way or are you doing something to remove the blueing? I dunno, maybe they are just worn. I like the look of the white steel. I have looked around and every place I find selling...

Anyone ever had a pistol made by these people? Is it good, bad, indifferent?

I was reading a book last night titled "The Illustrated Confederate Reader". It has a section in it with photos taken of Rebel Soldiers. One particular photo caught my eye. It is a pic of a John Pickle who in January 1862enlisted in Co. B of the 18th Texas Cavalry as a private. Notation said...

Got some of this but have never ever shot it. Am I correct in understanding that the stump of the sprue faces directly down in the cylinder, as in facing the powder charge?

I friend of mine has an Enfield 3 Band rifle, he had bought it years ago for doing Civil War re-enactments and is looking to sell it. The problem is determining what it is worth. I have tried a couple of the online gun auctions houses and cannnot find enough of these to get a good idea on...

I recently picked up a 1858 Remington. LOL Anyone reading this board probably knows this by now. I like the gun a lot but I was not crazy about the color of the grips. I refinished them and here are the before and after pics. Let me know which you like better then I will tell you which...
