    Makarov refinish

    Hey guys. My buddy pick up an old 1990 Bulgarian Makarov that was in pretty rough shape and I ended up with it :). All of my other projects are mostly caught up so I thought I would try my hand at freshening her up a little. I have been a big fan of moly-resin over the years, so I chose flat...

    Loading Lever woes

    Hello guys, Im so enjoying the black powder part of my shooting. It seems that I always take a BP revolver out when we go. I alternate my other guns, but at least 2 BP guns go out with me every time. In fact I cant make my powder as fast as Im shooting it. Im having to buy powder now and man...

    Black Powder 12 Gauge

    Well, I finally got all my equipment and today went to the show to buy some 209's. Got home and loaded them up. All went well thanks to all of you guys and your advice. One thing though, the reloads are harder to chamber in my Stevens then my factory loads? Is this normal? Im using the smooth...

    Great day at the range but....

    the front sight on my ASM 1851 flew off!! Rats!! It doesnt appear to be threaded, maybe just pressed in. Is a better fix to drill and tap the hole (I have many different size taps here) and screw a shotgun bead in there? What do you experts say? Kevin. Maybe something like this...

    Stevens 311 Coach Gun

    This is a continuation from another thread where I was advised not to chop a Stevens 311 double barrel shotgun from several knowledgeable people. So I feel like a wayward child going against the advice of gentlemen of vastly more knowledge than myself, but, never the less, I bought my buddies...

    Making your own black powder shotgun shells

    OK guys, be gentle. I've been reloading since 1987 but I have NEVER loaded a shotgun shell. I wont be doing massive amounts as I have tons stored for emergencies. I just want to learn how to load with black powder and take 10 or 12 to the pasture when I go. The chopped Stevens 311 (from...

    Black powder SXS

    Hey guys, I've got a buddy that wants to sell me his Stevens 311 SXS12 gauge for 300.00. It looks great with the case colored frame. I looked up the date code and its a 1961. I didnt really want it until I thought of cutting the barrels down to about 18-20 inches and shooting BP out of it:D...

    Plunger mod on '58 Remmy

    Is it possible to do the ruger plunger mod to an 1858 Remington? You dont have the backstrap to cover the hole, but I would imagine you could drill and tap the hole for some sort of a set screw? Im not having any problems but I was just curious. I did the mod on my '51 Navy and everything...

    Civil War Re-enactment

    New Yellowboy this weekend

    What a great gun show this past weekend. I found a smoking deal on a '66 Carbine by Uberti and I just had to get it. I never thought I would ever be able to afford one. I guess he just low-balled someone and was able to sell it to me cheaper and still make a profit. It had some handling...

    Winchester 94

    I dont know if this is the right forum or not, it just seemed right being a "cowboy" question:p I've got this old '65 Winchester 94 and would like to put a leather butt pad on it. I think they look really cool. Maybe with some bullet loops and an Indian head or something? Does anyone have...

    What a wonderful afternoon to shoot

    My buddy couldn't go so I went alone. It was really nice today. I sat in the shade and loaded 10 cylinders on my '61 sheriff. Then tested some of my powder-puff 30-30 loads. Everything went off without a hitch. Just a nice day. I even tried this video with my phone...
