Anyone heard from kwhi43? Haven't seen any posts from him in quite a while. Hope he's alright. Anyone know?

I've been wondering if anyone has compared a max. load of 4f Goex with a max. load of smokless in the NAA Companion. The max load of 4f seems fairly hefty to me. I've never tried any smokeless in it and probably never will. Just curious. NC

I've been using 3f Goex in my NAA Super companion mainly because it's all I have on hand and the nearest place I can buy more is a hour drive away. My question is should I make the trip or is 3f ok? I don't think 3f will harm the gun, but will it perform better with 4f? NC

I noticed that Cabela's has this derringer on sale for 149.88. I'm thinking of ordering one to kill a few tin cans in my backyard and/or shoot snakes with. Does anyone here have one of these? If so are they worth the price for what I plan to use it for?

I'm in need of a couple of tins of Remington #11 caps for my NAA Super Companion. In my local area I've only been able to find CCI,and they are too tall to fit on the nipples properly. I can order online but I don't want to pay the stupid hazmat fee just so I can buy a couple of tins. I probably...

I was just examining my never been fired Spiller & Burr (Pietta) and noticed what appear to be smudged finger prints on the frame, but they won't wipe off and Nevr-Dull is the only thing I have on hand that is suitable for cleaning brass. My question is will it harm the blued barrel should I...

I notice that according to the details concerning most of Cabela's promotions such as coupons, free shipping, etc. doesn't include firearms. Does this mean black powder arms, or just cartridge firearms

I was just reading Cabela's return policy on their web site and it stated: Firearms, black powder guns, ammunition, gunpowders, and primers may not be returned due to safety considerations. Now I just received a new revolver from them and discovered that one of the grips has a crack in it. On...

The other day a friend asked me if you can take a hog with a 1858 Remmy 44. I told him I'd want at least a 30/06. But I told him I'd try to find out. How about it has anyone here ever did this?

I've acquired a H&R 632 that needs a little work, but as near as I can tell it's all cosmetic. It has light pitting on the barrel, cylinder and frame, but I believe light sanding will remove most of it. The bore is in good shape as are all the chambers. It cycles and locks up fine. I have fired...

I understand how to protect the nipples on my 58 Remy from moisture (rain) by sealing them with beeswax. But can anyone tell me the best way to apply the beeswax? What I used was a small can (potted meat). I bent the rim of the can to form a small spout. I melted the wax in that can and tried to...

Dicks Sporting Goods is currently building a store in my area. Since I've never been in one of their stores, I'm wondering if they carry black powder shooting supplies. Does anyone know?

Someone on here, perhaps a year or so ago, built a cylinder loader using a toggle clamp ordered from Grianger (item # .3CXR9). But I'm unable to locate the post. I'd like to inquire from the person how well it worked. My question is, can anyone furnish me with the location of this post. I...

I was about to order the Grace screwdriver set from Cabela's when I started to wonder if these are suitable for BP revolvers (58 Remington and 51 Colt Navy), or just modern firearms. So I thought I'd ask.

Does anyone know where I can get a magazine for my S&W model 59 9mm at a reasonable price?

I've been shooting my '58 Remy (Pietta) for sometime now without any problems. But I saw mention of ball creep in another thread and got to wondering if it's possible to have enough in a revolver to cause a problem. I don't think I have this problem, but perhaps I should check the next time I...

Got a small problem with my new '51 Pietta Navy, or maybe its not a problem, but it's got my curiosity up. At half cock I noticed the cylinder won't spin freely but turns easy enough by hand. After closer examination I noticed that when at half or full cock it seems that the hand spring pushes...

Just got around to disassembling my new 51 Navy (Pietta). I got it from Cabela's a couple of weeks ago but just found time to really give it a good going over. It looks good except for a burr here and there. Timing is good and it locks up good. Don't care much for the finish on the grips. I'll...

Does anyone make a clone for this revolver. I know they have existed because I saw one in kit form once in the late seventies at a gun show. Wish I had bought it. Then I saw one a couple of years later owned by an individual who wouldn't part with it. NC

Is dielectric grease OK to use as an over the ball lube? The reason I'm asking is I was in a auto parts store and the man there said he has a customer who buys it to use on his black powder pistol. He didn't know if the customer had a revolver or not. But it got me to wandering if it could be...
