    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...

    Got my Remington R51 today

    My LGS called me and let me know the R51 had just come in. They received six for the first shipment. They should be popping up everywhere now I'd assume. Picked mine up and I have to say I really like it so far. I've never done the guinea pig, 1st round tester before, but I liked the idea...

    GSG Stg 44

    This is my early birthday present to myself. I'm a huge Civil War and WWII buff and have my own collection of stuff as many of you may know. Today I finally grabbed one of these and am super pleased and excited to own it. It's the GSG Stg 44 repro in .22 caliber. It's pretty much as close...

    Any other .45-70 trapdoor BP shooters here?

    Just curious? I have a Model 1873 date stamped 1884 on the cartouche and I completely love my old girl. I've worked up a fantastic load using 59 grains 2f with a 405 grain bullet, SPG lube and a vegetable fiber card that my rifle absolutely loves. Shoots really really good. I have to...

    .40 cal Hershel House Flinter

    As the weather has finally been cooperating I got the chance to take my lovely House .40 cal flintlock out last weekend and she's still a tack driver as usual. This one has Davis double set triggers, a William Large barrel, Siler lock, and of course the rifle was made by Hershel back in the...

    New flintlock musket, Model 1816

    Here's my newest and I'm really happy and proud of it. Made a trade for one of my .58 caliber rifle muskets. This is a gorgeous Pedersoli Model 1816 .69 caliber smoothbore flintlock musket. I had a gaping hole in my collection in that I didn't have any flintlock military muskets and have...

    Cowboy action shooting?

    Me and the wife are becoming interested in the sport and were wondering if anyone had any tips or advice as well as info. I don't even know if there are any clubs in my area of Indiana or how to get involved in a club or with the sport in general. I do know it looks super fun and we both...

    Looking for a bandolier

    Anyone know where I can get a decent canvas or even leather, for that matter, bandolier that holds .45-70 cartridges? I would like a little something to go along with my trapdoor. I completely love shooting the trapdoor and REALLY have been loving all my black powder cartridge guns lately...

    Looking for advice on values...

    Hey all, I'm looking for advice on the value of a couple of rare items in my collection. I may be willing to part with them if they are worth what I'm thinking. I have a Hershel House .40 caliber, swamped barrel, double set trigger flintlock made by Hershel in the late 60s or early 70s...

    My finished Thompson SBR

    I've had my Auto-Ordnance M1 Thompson .45acp since the late 90s. Always loved them and wanted one and got one back quite some years ago. Actually it was a gift from my Dad who isn't around anymore. Too bad too because he would have been as tickled with this as I am now. It always been one of...

    Just couldn't pass it up, PPK/s with ivory grips

    I need therapy, seriously. I just couldn't let this get away though as I knew if I didn't pick it up I would be kicking myself and regretting it in the future. This is a German made, 1970, Interarms import Walther PPK/s in .380. Grips are elephant ivory. The gun is in pretty much...

    New pre-war PPK on the way!

    Well after years of wanting and searching, it appears my wait is over. I found a really nice 1935, crown N, blued, 95% quality .32 for a good deal. Paid for this morning and hopefully shipping out this afternoon. I can't wait. This is the crown jewel of my walther collection in my opinion...

    My impulsive Walther kick

    Don't know what's got into me lately but I've suddenly gone on an impulsive buying spree and can't seem to help myself. :) I originally started with the idea of shopping around to find a Walther or Manurhin PPK in .32. I just have always wanted one and being a big fan of Walther figured...

    New Crossbow

    Picked up a Barnett Jackal. We stayed with friends this weekend out in the woods and my buddy had a crossbow. I'd never fired one before and was completely taken with it and decided I had to have one. I'm a big fan of traditional archery and shoot my longbow in the backyard quite a bit...

    Samurai swords don't run out of bullets...

    Figured I'll share a few of mine since I dig them so much. I love swords and bladed weapons and have a few different examples from different historical eras and regions. In my opinion there is nothing greater than Japanese Samurai swords. For function and aesthetic beauty nothing comes...

    Makarov new grips!

    Quite some time ago, 4 1/2 months to be precise, I decided to spring for some Marschal Grips to dress up my Makarov. I carry it everyday and it's truly one of my favorite pistols as well as utterly reliable so I decided to spruce it up a bit. I have to say I'm more than pleased with the new...

    Savage 111 .30-06 with mildot Grand Slam!

    The weather was absolutely beautiful today so I played hooky for half a day at work to finally get out with my Savage 111 .30-06 and check out some of my hand loads as well as dial in my new Weaver Grand Slam mildot scope. I've taken the rifle out a few times before, once with the cheap...

    A new addition!

    I just added a new addition to my family. I've always wanted a Rogers & Spencer but never got around to picking one up. It's one of those that always got continually bumped down the list in favor of Colts and Remmys etc. I have much admired them though and thought they were really interesting...

    Getting that itch...

    It's been a few years actually since I purchased a new cap and ball revolver. Hell, I felt I had enough in my collection to ever want or need another one (anyone else catching the irony here?). I mean, I have a couple 1860 Armys, couple 1861 Navys, 1851 Navy (LOVE), 1858 Remys in .44 and...

    My wife's rig

    It's coming up on four years that I lost my Dad and I thought I would share a bit of his talents with you all. He made this for my wife, at the time girlfriend, as he was really tickled how into shooting and especially black powder shooting she had become. When we first started dating she had...
