    Ruger SP101 convertible in .22/.22WMR

    I looked at one of these yesterday and it seemed like a very well-made and useful revolver. Reading around on the internet it was mentioned that although it comes with two different cylinders for the two different cartridge sizes, the bore has to be larger than it would be for .22LR to...

    Found flintlock pistol in barn

    My son was cleaning out his grandfather's (my father-in-law) barn last week and found this old pistol. It's 21 inches long, barrel 12-13 in., and heavy enough to cudgel a horse to death. The bore measures approx. .68 in. The wood is split and cracked in places, the ramrod is missing and it's...

    scope for Savage 14 in .223

    I recently bought this used Pietta .36 cal. revolver and have been trying to research a starting load. I do a lot of smokeless reloading but this is my first try at BP. I'm aware that BP and substitute loads are supposed to be expressed in volume, not weight, so it confuses me when the loads...
