    Thinking about selling some stuff...

    I'm really not looking for trade. This is a .45 caliber flinter made by B. Buckley that my late father traded for or bought back in the late 60s early 70s. Dad used to go down to Friendship way back when and shoot with the old crew that used to hang down there. Hershel House was one of the...

    Thinking about selling some stuff...

    Hey all, Just wanted to gauge some interest here before posting in the for sale section. I'm seriously thinking about thinning out some stuff and wondered if anyone would be seriously interested. Thinking about selling a repro ArmiSport 1842 .69 smoothie, Pedersoli 1816 Harpers Ferry...

    Replica arms

    Yep, Replica Arms are Ubertis. They were imported by Replica Arms of Marietta, Ohio as previously stated. I have an 1861 Navy that my Dad bought back in 1970. They are really nice and you may notice the color case hardening is exceptionally nice on these. Mine is a great shooter and is...

    Firing the LeMat revolver

    Great video Mike!! I loved seeing the shotgun mode. I've always thought LeMats were interesting and seemed cool and different but I'm totally convinced it's better to watch someone else shoot one than actually buy one myself. There was a time when I wanted one badly and now I have no...

    Rogers & Spencer anyone?

    I really love mine too. I bought one from a member on this board for a great price and have loved it since the first shot. They really are great shooters. It's quickly risen to the top of my favorite BP revolvers.

    Anyone tried "buck and ball" loads?

    Ack, please disregard my above post, I just realized you were asking about shooting it out of a rifle.

    Anyone tried "buck and ball" loads?

    I have a replica 1842 Springfield .69 smoothie and I've shot tons of buck and ball out of it just for fun. It's a neat load and interesting to shoot from a historical perspective. I make a simple buck and ball load by using newspaper and thread. I make a cylinder with the newspaper, about...

    Remington R51

    Wow. You, are like, totally on a crusade. I'll continue to disagree though, since I actually OWN one.

    Remington R51

    Wow, All this Remington bashing and everyone declaring the gun is "dead" and "broken" because of a few reviews online. I think the problem here is no one is speaking out on the positive side. Kind of like the old cliché, the squeaky wheel gets the grease right? I love my R51 and think...

    Got my Remington R51 today

    Ok, here's what I experienced on first purchasing mine. When I bought it I thought it was quite sticky and very hard to rack too. I took it home and immediately took it apart. The grease inside was sticky and it hadn't been cleaned since being fired at the factory so it was filthy inside...

    Got my Remington R51 today

    Here's my first target. First four mags at 10 feet. The first group was just settling in and seeing where and how it shot. 2nd group was the best I shot all day, slow and deliberate. 3rd and 4th I was starting to feel comfortable with how it shot to POA. There are three extra 4th mag shots...

    Got my Remington R51 today

    Ok! I got to the range today and put 130 rounds through the new R51. I love it. Had no FTF or FTEs. Worked great! The recoil really is light. Doesn't feel snappy or unmanageable to me at all. The trigger is a bit heavier than a SA trigger but far lighter than DA. As hardluk1 said...

    I'm going to try to get to the range today and do some breaking in! I'll let you all know if I do.

    Got my Remington R51 today

    Pivots on a pin. Definitely not like a 1911 slide trigger. Lol!! Thanks! I love both of them and I really love them with the custom wood grips. I agree both are completely classic as well. Actually, my only fullsize handguns are my Walther P99 and Walther P5. I've always liked compacts...

    Got my Remington R51 today

    This is exactly my reasoning and why I wanted this pistol so bad. My biggest concern in carrying is comfort and concealibility. I'm one of those guys that just doesn't like carrying a full size pistol. I was never comfortable with anything bigger than the PPK or the Mak. The Mak does carry...

    Got my Remington R51 today

    Thanks! I do agree both the PPK/s and the Mak are classics. The PPK/s is one of my all time favs and I do think the wooden grips really dress it up and make it totally class. It's a 1970, German made .380. I also have a 1938 PPK in .32 that really is my favorite pistol. The grips on the...

    Got my Remington R51 today

    Haven't shot it yet, just got it a few hours ago and won't get to shoot it today. Maybe tomorrow or Friday though! I'll let you know. The grip safety feels fine and doesn't bother me at all. Here's the Mak comparison pics.
