    Deer Hunting with cap/ball Revolvers

    In the N. Ga. mountains, we have Russian Boars, decendents of one brought here from Russia in the early 1800s. Here's what they look like on a good day: They average 300-400 lbs. They are Big, mean, ugly and delicious. They are also incredible tough and hard to put down. We also have...

    Supreme Court could take guns case

    It's been an interesting tour of this site, but this is the 4th or 5th thread I've checked out where a moderator has attempted to narrowly structure an enjoyable and enlightening conversation. That's not for me. I'll stay with gunboards.com. Best of luck to you all, Semper Fi!

    Do SBR/ SBS rules apply for black powder guns?

    From the number of posts, it is obvious that the laws are confusing to most people. In our case, we checked with the ATF before the re-enactment, as well as the Ga. Bureau of Investigation and both organizations said we could not use a muzzleloading shotgun with barrels of less than 18". Ga...

    Do SBR/ SBS rules apply for black powder guns?

    It is a $200.00 tax (I made a typo earlier) and is part of the Gun Control Act of 1934. It has to be payed anytime the gun changes ownership, and the gun must have the tax stamp afixed to it at all times. The only blunderbusses you will see being sold 'over-the-counter' are the non-firing...

    Do SBR/ SBS rules apply for black powder guns?

    That was a typo. I meant to type $200.00. Ooops! Muzzleloader shotguns are not exempt from the tax. Per ATF. Semper Fi!

    Supreme Court could take guns case

    Your information is incorrect. The Supreme Court has never made such a ruling. 18 USC section 922(g)(1) states that: (g) It shall be unlawful for any person - (1) who has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year...

    Deer Hunting with cap/ball Revolvers

    All this techno-babble aside, I hunt deer with my Pietta .44 all the time, as well as Russian Wild Boars. I have never had a problem. They drop where they stand. Of course, I am staying within the limits of the firearms performance. 20-30 yards, from a tree-stand is about right. Use...

    Help with '51 Navy wedge!

    I was about to say that usually, when that happens to me, it is because I don't have the wedge going in straight. I back it out and start over. Semper Fi!

    newb to BP

    I've never had anyone make fun of me at the range. Ususally, they will come over to watch, and many times, I even let people fire my pistols and rifles. I have created a few more BP shooters this way. I even enter Turkey Shoots, Skeet and Shooting Tournaments with my muzzleloaders. I have a...

    Second Amendment Applies to States

    This is a no-brainer. State Law can never supercede the Constitution. If a State were to pass more draconian laws, then your rights as a US citizen would be infringed. Therefore, a State cannot pass more restrictive laws than the Constitution allows for. Example: The First Amendment: Congress...

    Supreme Court could take guns case

    I wouldn't hold much hope for this. Given the SCOTUS track record, such as United States vs Bean, SCOTUS, if they hear the case at all, will say that since the Plaintiff was not arrested or convicted for violating DC's law, then there is no damage, and it will be dimissed. They will not address...

    Constitutionality of mapping

    A map in and of itself may not be unconstitutional, but what possible reason would the government have for needing one, except for future confiscation? A case could be made that it would jeopardize National Security, because if an enemy were to invade and get a copy of the map, they would...

    Do SBR/ SBS rules apply for black powder guns?

    To answer your original question, an antique (muzzleloader) shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18" is still illegal if it has not had the tax payed on it. I am a black powder/muzzleloader, antique gun enthusiast. We has this question come up during a re-enactment. We checked with the BATF...

    Gun Violence per capita, ban vs no ban question

    Englands crime rate went up when they banned private ownership of firearms, just like Australia. Ask anyone who lives there. Canada is about to experience the same thing. People never learn!

    Felons

    "Getting tough on criminals" , is just a stupid, mindless, propaganda-following sheep position. First off, most felons are not violent. Should Martha Stewart, Rush Limbaugh or Oliver North be denied rights? They are felons. How about former Enron employees? The way the laws are these days, it is...

    .54 cartridges I use a .53 wooden dowell and double-wide Zig-Zags or J & B papers. 115 grains fills the chamber on my Sharpes perfectly.
