Looks like Ephraim Kibbey above has it ! My guess is the gun maker was: Gorg (mit ein umlaut) Dornbach, 1756 (baptism). "Gorg" with umlaut means George in English. Today it is written in modern German as Georg (pronounced GAY-org). The "Gorg" written above is incorrectly written, as it...

Hello Oorah ! Thank you for your information. You offer a different and useful perspective ! I find it informative and useful ! Your name on this site reminds me of the loud cheers of OORAH at my son's graduation at Parris Island!

Thank you, but I don't think I shall use that much in my .36 ! I was thinking 20 grains maximum. I'll only be shooting targets. But it is informative to know the cylinder can accept that much ! I wonder how much velocity you achieve with that load - also the how many foot pounds of energy ? It...

Hello D. Buck Stopshere ! I bought a Pietta 1860 steel frame revolver for my son who lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado as a Christmas present. Then I bought a pound of American Pioneer Powder, 3F locally there. That was all the store sold - apparently they...

Hello D. Buck Stopshere ! Thank you for the advice ! I never go over 25 grains with my .44 pistols as they are 'brassers'. I've owned one of them since the 1990's. My .36 has a steel frame. I haven't shot it yet. I appreciate your informed advice ! I would...

I use round balls only in my revolvers. What I would like to know is what is the cylinder capacity for my Pietta 1851 revolvers for calibers .36 and .44 ? Once I know this, I can balance out how much corn meal filler I need to add to fill a cylinder. I always want a snug powder charge - no loose...

MAX100 posts are more like an advertisement for the Chinese knock-off of the 870 than a true assessment. His father worked for Stahl. My goodness! Who to believe ? MAX100's father, or the entire engineering staff at Remington ? My, my what a difficult choice... Do the Chinese barrels split like...

Do you really want the whole Special Field shotgun ? Could you be just as satisfied to change out the the stock assembly with an 'English style' straight grip? I suggest you try it instead. I do not know about the Browning, but the magazine tube and fore end are both shorter on the Special Field...

George co, When you disassembled your M1100, you cocked it first. You must lock the trigger safety button. If you did not lock it and you pulled the trigger when it was out of the receiver, you will have a difficult time putting it back -just as you described...

I believe ARMED BEAR has answered almost everything you need to know... I would like to add only two things. 1) never use WD40 on a blued surface -- it will over time remove the blueing. 2) Call Remington at 1-800-243-9700 and ask them to send you the owner's manual. Or as John BT suggested you...
