I have a Charter Bulldog. I purchased it three years ago because I could not get a quick kill on a troublesome dog with a Plus p 38 which I used in a old Charter that was my father's carry gun. I put 200 hundred rounds through it. These were reloads some times they would miss fire, but they...

I though that 19th century gunsmiths drilled through the black powder chamber, milled out a recess for the rim of the cartridge, and added the firing pin. To reload you changed two a fully loaded cylinders.

Modern smokeless powder break down over time. Black powder has been loaded in cartridges and were viable after one hundred years. I keep both of my converted 45 cal revolvers as well as my 44 cal carry and by 38 cal backup along with two rifles and one shotgun loaded at all times. Weapons...

I have the same revolver, except it has a 51/2" barrel. The gun out of the box is very accurate. Without and after market main spring, I would not try fanning. It took the flesh off my heel pad.

The Remington 1858 was tested by the US Army before acceptance. The ball passed through 11 inches of pine. After all the ball was moving above the speed of sound: (1000ft per sec) The conical bullet was better than that, the problem is not the black powder. It is the bullet. It is made of soft...

I have the R&D, and it works fine; however, Uberti is selling 1858 factory conversions for a very good price. They were less than the 1875, I purchased from them.

Take the fore arm off Look on the under side of the barrel. The chamber length will be marked 70mm will look like 12 70 in and oval it will be written in in English as well along side the barrel just above the serial number (** Special Steel-16 Gauge-Shells2 3/4" ). My serial Number is 16250...

Check under the fore arm The chamber length will be stamped on each barrel. If your gun was made in Europe it will read 70mm if it is US it will be stamped 23/4. the chocks will be stamped there as well.

My choice Charter Bulldog Pug in 44 Special loaded with Corbon 165gr bullet 404 ft/lbs. Been thinking about the Speer 250gr Gold Dot at 900ft/sec. At the time I purchased the revolver that Corbon load was all I could get beside the Federal 200 gr LSWCHP, 360ft/lbs. I purchased both just to...

Barrels and choke For skeet 28" barrel is OK choke is skeet or IC. For trap 30 to 32 inch barrel choke is Full or Improved Modified. I am not familial with you gun. I don't know if it is a double or not if it is the trap would be Full and Modified. European full choke not American full. When I...

They will shoot further than you think I have a 16 ga that I use Savage four tenner tubes in that I patterned a 38 yds that patterned 52% in barrel #1 and 48% in barrel 32 with #6 shot, Remington, Peters 3 inch shells. The pattern from #2 barrel was thin with a hole that would allow a dove to...

Alemonkey had to much Ale. There is nothing better than a beautiful woman. I know what he means, but there is not a man alive that would not trade a rifle for a beautiful woman. I hope that rifle shoots as good as a woman talks. If it does you got something. Good luck with it.

I have this SXS 16 gage black powder shotgun that was made between 1938 and 1941. I have proofed the gun myself back in the 80's when I came into procession of the gun. I proofed it with smokeless powder in both barrels. the loads conformed with proof loads now in use; however, people at the...

My new main spring slipped I had a good day of shooting yesterday. I was trying to hit a paper plate from 50 yards. Now one hit. I could hear the bullets striking wood, and the best I can figure is that the gun was shooting low about a foot. Loaded up another twenty five rounds for tomorrow...

BHP FAn I may remove the safety too when I get it back. If you load five and put the hammer on an empty cylinder there is no need for it. It is unsafe to load six in the gun. The safety does not move the firing pin that much off the primer. I don't like the firing pin. I wish it was like my...

I got on Monday and sent it back on Tuesday. It is a good feeling gun. It balances real well , quick to get on target. I brought it home cleaned it up a little; read the instruction manual about the hammer safety, put some snap caps in the cylinder went to pull the hammer back, and noticed...

I own one I purchased one in 2007. Paid 300 bucks for it. I have shot 250 rounds through it. The loads consist of 54 rounds of 180gr XTP, 5 to 8 grs Greendot one cylinder of240grbullet 30grs BP, and one cylinder of 13 grs of Bluedot. I did not like the bluedot to much recoil and there was some...

1858 Remington After I put the after market main spring in my 58, It is the best mechanical working revolver I have ever had in my hand. If my 75 Remington works the same way as the 51 with a main spring change athat is going to be one terrific gun. I have never shot a 73 Colt. The only Colt...

Ordered the gun I ordered the gun today and paid for it. Now all I have to do is wait. Talking about the war of Northern Aggression it is very hard for me even to watch TV when stories come on about that War; I turn them off. I don't talk about it; my family lost so much because of that war.

Success I got in in after I read your post. I can't believe how much better the action is. All the creep is gone. I am going to measure the trigger pull tomorrow. I bet it will be about two pounds. I used pliers like you said and just taped it in. Today it was easy. Yesterday I could not tap...
