Anybody shoot a Pedersoli Bess and care to share what size ball they use? I don't have it yet as it's backordered. I see Lyman has two sizes in .75 caliber, a .715 and a .735. I was thinking of going the paper cartridge route for plinking and a cloth patch for hunting so I guess I will need two...

This is the 4th Randall I've owned since 1975. I sold or traded the last three and regretted it each time. I plan on keeping this one.

Noisey night in Jersey, rain and bad high winds but safe and no damage to my house. My sister in law was not so lucky she's safe (evacuated). Her house in Ocean City NJ is under water and she's told she won't be allowed back on island untill Saturday at the earliest.

Any comments or preferences between the two. I have one of each new in the boxes and can't decide between the two which one to keep. Their both Armi Sports. The fit and finish on both are great and have nice crisp trigger pulls and nice wood (I hand picked both of these guns). I picked them up...

My new Sharps 50-70 carbine:

I talked with a Gettysburg Civil War sutler who sells repro black powder arms and he told me Euroarms USA who made quality Civil War repro arms like the 1861 Springfield rifle musket and 1853 Enfield as well as many others has closed it doors for good.

I've read some place that some Confederate cavalry units would use short barreled percussion shotguns. If this is true where they very common?

I've been trying to decide on a musket for a while now and ended up with an Armi Sport 1853 3 band Enfield, I like the looks of the 1861 Springfiels better and could not decide, but after examining quite a few Springfields I could not find one that did not have at least a 47 pound trigger...

Does anyone know of a website for full scale reproduction Civil War era muzzleloading cannons?

I notice on the 1853 Enfield that the sling swivels are attached to the front of the trigger guard and the barrel band right behind the muzzle. where they supposed to be carried muzzle down?

What are your thoughts? I've been looking at them both and can't decide. I like the looks of the Armi Sport models over the Euroarms. anybody have both? I might have to eventually get one of each:D I was at Gettysburg and one of the local sutllers had several of each on display.

What have you got? Lets see some photos:D I'm thinking about getting a 1861 3 band Springfield rifled musket or a C.S. Richmond or a ? I want to stick 58 cal. rifled musket as I already have a couple of minie ball bullet molds

While playing around with my percussion revolvers today I was surprised at the difference in size of the cylinders of my Uberti Navies, one a Remington 1858 and one a Colt London 1851. The Remington Navy has a considerably larger cylinder The measurements in inches are as follows: Rem. cyl...

Holy smoke!!! (1971)

Back in the 70's I sort of remember a caplock rifle that was called the Buffalo Hunter, I think it was sold by Navy Arms. It was .58 caliber and looked like it was a sort of cut down 2 band zouave. Anyone use one of these and are they still around?

I thought the Paterson repro's had been discontinued but I see on Uberti's new site: http://www.ubertireplicas.com/black_powder-patterson.php that they still offer them. I see that they offer two models, one with a loading lever and one without. Where the origional Patersons avaible both ways?

I stopped by a gun dealer today and looked in the gun case and spot a new or like new Stainless Ruger Old Army looking back at me. $425.00 also in the same case a Cimeron Richards Mason conversion in 38 special (I think), looked new $375.00 if I remember correctly. I did not have much time as I...

I like cap and ball revolvers mainly for what they are, but I have been thinking lately of trying one of these in my Remington Navy just for the hell of it. Does anyone here have any first hand experience with these cylinders? How hard are they to fit to the revolver? which brand is the best...

Just added this Remington 1858 to the stable, Walker for size comparison. I wasn't in the market for another 36 but I was so impressed with the Uberti 1858 Navy that I had to have it. Fit and finish is perfect, about the only thing I could fault if the reddish vanish on the grips, but that is...

I just picked up a Uberti 1858 Navy 36 cal. Anyboy have an opinion on what ball diameter to use? Also if you cast your own what brand mold are you using? Thanks
