In my 62 years have licensed hunted when money was tight. On fixed income and overcoming injury, acquired .22 and rifle. AR type. Three uppers, budget. Wylde/.300 bo/7.62×39. Love the ar. Previously moisin/fr8/carl gustav hunter. Marlin glenfield .22. What kind of sights optics do...

Looking at possibly getting a hastings sling to use for groundhog/skunk/predator and other small game with a budget heavy barrel upper out to 100ish yds with a prism and irons. Should get 2.5 moa with range ammo. Time will tell. Not looking to compete. Not sure it is worth the hassle. Used...

Back when I started doing armed security work, I lived where I could roam any number of wooded properties and target shoot / attempt / harvest small game with my .38 service revolver(s). Got to like the .38 special 158 gr RNL with a 4" bbl as a handy woods gun. Years later there were times...

Long ago and sitting right here an unfortunate incident befell my shack, the bullet holes from 2006 are still there. Friends pressured me to get at least a service auto. I had two revolvers, a .45 Colt N frame and a 1938 Colt new pocket, a Mossy. I had been 'out of the trade' for six years...

Since discovering bp revolvers 2015 I have marveled at how well they work when I put any kind of effort at all into them. I had always ASSumed that the Balitmore or NYPD 'invented' the .38 caliber service revolver when they went from the 1849 models to the Pocket Police. I saw the EMF...

The Dreaded Ducktail is not my favorite to look at but works very well for me. I seem to have adopted a giant 24 year old who goes about 6'4" with big mitts. Which readily available grip frame and grips do large pawed people prefer? Any SAS type shooters who have a favorite grip for that...

Looking for .stl files for BP revolver grips? Help help! I have wood filament and a decent entry level 3d printer. I can find a zillion files for 1911 grips. Faux Ivory, wood grain, "Horn", and so on should be possible. Hard black plastic grips on a brasser Pocket Remy? I really...

Ross Seyfried wrote "the .45 Colt knocks living things down as surely as if it has several hundred fps more 'swoosh'..." John Taffin bemoaned Ruger temporarily dropping the .45 LC from the Blackhawk line due to battered frames from handloaders being returned.. . At night I often carried the...

I came on here a few years back to learn about my new 1858 Pietta Remington New Army Clone. Had researched getting something to keep my Smith 25-5 out of the field. The standard .45 Colt load is fine for how I goof off in the woods. In researching the old BP load I came across that famous...

I have been friends with Kaido on FB for some time now. The other day we were chatting and he mentioned that he only had two 2 cavity 140 gr .36 VKV molds left. Since reading about the 140 grain .36 with the excellent vkv design known for delivering energy to targets I suspected it would be...

Regarding the Pedersoli Small Pistol flintlock, Kentucky, Many Moll, et. al: And the L&R RPL series We have noted the handmade L&R hardened 'through'(?) frizzen locks sized to replace the CVA locks with minimal reworking. Hussah. We will raid a pawn shop for a donor rifle ... :D...

On 'paper' this trade musket is pretty much everything I'm looking for in a smooth bore Black Powder. I would be happy with a .54 smooth bore with an ugly plain stock, 30" bbl and functional cap lock. We do like the aesthetics of the Pedersoli Trade musket. Is this stock grain correct? We...

Looking to possibly put together my own flint lock from parts and most likely farming out some of the more advanced work. Own a router table and router, and a bandsaw. Have built boats that work fine without mechanical or carpentry skills, from reading. So before I go looking up old threads...

I am obsessed with the idea of a nice smoothbore flint lock. The trade guns in 20 gauge seem to be popular and I like what I read from folks who use them. Most reproductions and a few originals I've seen are well into low four figures. Even 700 bucks is a lot for me to contemplate at this...

So for those who haven't suffered my pedantic rambling and nonsensical posts, my story sad but true: Middle aged busted up Indian fighter ( ex-security/COP/SPO dude ) Who, like the rest of you became more competent at quals when they moved the back line from fifty to twenty five yards. Then...

For the serious woods loafers in the black powder shooting fraternity, what is your favorite revolver / knife combo and what woods do you loaf it? I'm an Appalachian Virginia native and currently in the lowlands of Delaware. No predators here in Delaware, some rare sightings of coyotes...

Well here is my story (again) sad but true. I was looking for a rough and ready SA to retire my Smitty 25-5 which was never supposed to be fired, much less carried to work. Now it is real, meaning a little scuffed up and well loved. But while not a hardcore survivalist, long periods in the woods...

I think it was over at some other gun forum I read a post no Stupid Americans! and how our dumb selves are totally responsible for Pietta's creative interpretation of history and historically correct arms, to wit the Pietta 1851 .44 Navy in steel or brass seemed to have set this fellow off...

Okay, I think that I am learning that hard cast lead bullets like my favorite .45 slug, the 255 gr Keith are not good for or even dangerous in my BP revolver? Is this true? If I obtained a mold and used 'pure lead' like for round balls will this work? Can I cast the slug in soft lead...

I have always admired the full flap holster for outdoor sporting use. A fast draw is sacrificed for what many insist is superior protection. I have two replicas and wanted to be able to carry both at once if I chose and have always practiced with both hands and all kinds of carry. I got...
