    Hello HigHRoaDers: Well; last time I posted here was about my Vietnam Survival Knife. That was in 2008. It's Sheath had turned to mush so I bought what I thought was a good replacement, but today, the tie-down tang broke into, so I'm hoping to find a replica sheath for it. I paid like $5...

    Reloading fneb bullets

    This type of fmj bullet is new to me. The lead core is exposed on the nose instead of the lead exposed on the base of a typical Full Metal Jacket bullet. I'm concerned that the solid copper base could cause a different pressure reading. How would you suggest I start reloading these...

    Springtime .22 rifle changes to shotgun

    Spring is just around the corner, and the large hungry rat snakes likes chicken. So I end up having to battle them inside my horse barn where my little bantam chickens like to roost. I use Rat Shot so as not to blow holes all through my barn. These suckers are huge and will scare...

    1860 Pietta 44cal colt replica barrel swelling

    I'm getting conflicting reports about using .454" lead round balls in the Pietta 44 cal 1860 revolvers. REPORTS: 1. The .454" lead ball is more accurate. I've heard several statements to that effect. So I went out and bought a few boxes of them to try. :) 2. The .454" lead...

    Charles Daly DR-15

    :confused: Has anyone here had any hands on experience with the CD DR-15? I have been looking at the Stag M4 and the Bushmaster A3, and was told to check into the DR-15 before I made a choice. CD's advertizements are all I've found.

    Cylinder Stop Over Extends

    I've had this 1860 .44 Army Colt replica for years, and it works fine. But it has a small glitch. I noticed that the 'Bolt Head' rises too high without the cylinder being in place to stop it. I have to press down on the 'Bolt Head' just a little to make fingers slide off the 'Hammer Cam'...
