      Black Powder firearms discussion

      Looks to me like you nailed it. I figured you had period eyewear, or used contacts, during reenactments. I prime from the main horn, even with my Bess. But the, I use 3f even in the Bess. For some reason, I get better accuracy with 3f than I do with 2f. From what I can see in the photos...

      Black Powder firearms discussion

      Looking good, early 19th century (1800 to mid 1820s). Do you prime from the main horn, or do you have a priming container in the shooting pouch?

      Black Powder firearms discussion

      I'm making plans to attend the event next year, not sure yet whether as a spectator or as a participant. I've read through the guidelines and I'm going to see what it will take to get my gear in order. I look forward to the event.

      Black Powder firearms discussion

      ScouT6a: Good job on the limb bacon, and I like the rifle, bag and horn. Digital_photog: I think I've seen your rifle before, in a thread on another forum. I didn't realize, there, that we were located in the same state. When, and where, is Gathering at 5 Medals? Edited to add: I just...

      Gould and goodrich vs galco shoulder holster

      I have a Miami Classic (purchased in '88) for use with my Colt 1911a1. I could not be happier with it and the way it fits. I've worn it (with the pistol and two mags) for 8+ hours several times, with no discomfort. The "clover plate" goes unnoticed, even while seated in the car or truck...

      Interarms 'Walther' PPK

      Your pistol is a PPK. The PPK is a more compact version of the PP, both the slide/barrel and the grip are shorter. After the GCA 0f '68, the PPK was no longer legal to import. The PPKs is a combination of the slide and barrel of the PPK with the frame of the PP, you have the shorter barrel...

      Interarms 'Walther' PPK

      The PPK has a wrap around grip, while the PP and PPKs have grip panels. Could you post a photo? It sounds like you have a PPK and, if so, a wrap around grip is normal.

      Stag Arms

      You will be pleased with this rifle. I also have a Stag M2, I added a few MagPul parts and an Aimpoint PRO. Here is a photo of the current configuration.

      PTR91 HK Clones

      I have one of the PTR-91 Classic rifles with wood furniture. I could not be happier with it. I've replaced the plastic lower with a steel lower and wood hand grip. I also have the collapsible stock. I plan to add the paddle mag release and to refinish the stock and hand guard to match the...

      Let's talk about Lever Action Rifles

      The thing about crescent butt plates is that you do not shoulder them the way you would an AR. The crescent is placed on the upper arm, just beside the actual shoulder joint. I learned this from many years shooting flintlock longrifles like the one below.

      Let's talk about Lever Action Rifles

      I have one of their rifles in .45 Colt. I could not be happier with it, no problems at all. The cases land about 2 feet out at about 3:30 if you think of the target at 12:00. Here's a photo of my rifle.

      New Addition, I call it Tommy!

      Looking good. I have one with the detachable stock. If (when) you pick up a few more stick mags, modify the magazine catch rather than the new magazines. When the SA version was designed, the height of the receiver was reduced by .1 (1/10th) inch. This had the effect of placing the nose of...

      Cowboy Gun

      You will not regret the purchase. Did you go with the rifle or the carbine? I have one of the rifles in .45 Colt, here's a photo.

      Would you carry during dance lessons?

      I'd be dressed for it and carry my Colt 1911 in my shoulder rig (Miami Classic).

      If new caliber laws pass for Deer Season, what will you use next year?

      My S&W Model A in 30-06. This rifle was manufactured by Husqvarna, using their 1640 action and imported by S&W in the early to mid 1960s.

      Which Gun

      It depends. If I'm at a public range and there other shooters around, then I would have to say that one of these two would be the most fun. First, my PCC. Then my Musket. If I'm shooting alone, then it would have to be one of these two. First, my primary. Next, my alternate. This shot...

      Auction Hunters, Pawn Stars Etc. The deals I never get.

      If your Ruger has a factory adjustable rear sight, it's a Mark I. If it came with fixed sights, it's a Standard. I have a Standard with a 6 inch barrel, made in 1976 and has the Bicentennial inscription on the top of the receiver.

      So of all the guns you own...

      The one of mine that draws the most attention at the range is this. I should probably go the SBR rout with this and make it closer to the real thing.

      Anyone carry a 1911 in a shoulder rig.

      My shoulder rig for my Colt Gvmt Mk IV is a Galco Miami Clasic (original, not the II). It has the double mag pouch on the off side. I've worn this rig often, in all seasons. I've worn it for as long as 18 hours (once or twice), and routinely for 8 to 10 hours at a time, with no complaints...
