Most of this applies to most single action revolvers, but has some cap and ball specific info. Well worth a read.

Sam knows his stuff!
I have had a few copies of the Remington 1858 over the years but it’s been awhile since I’ve played with one. I have an original that my grandfather bought back in the 60’s. Well, that changed recently as I picked up a pair of older Navy Arms imports. Looks like they were both built in 1977 by...
SOLD
I have a classic Lincoln Tombstone stick welder. 220v 225 amp. I have used it off and on for several years with good effect. Well, I’m a crappy welder so take that for what it’s worth! Comes with a n assortment of rod, some accessories and a snazzy roll around cart made from a shopping...
I have read rave reviews of these molds made in Slovenia for years. I have handled a couple of them that buddies owned but have never made the jump. I was looking at his site a couple weeks ago and saw some interesting ones that were out of stock and decided to put my email in the ‘notification’...
So, I had an issue at the range today and long story short; my Browning HP extractor ‘has left the chat’. I see a few variations available. Has anyone ever found one to be better than the other; or better than a factory one? I never had any issues with the original it if I’m stuck replacing it...
I have a .350 legend upper and accoutrements that I never have gotten into like I thought I would.
Including this package is:
10” .350 legend upper with a LuthAR handguard and an MI brake that I bored out. No BCG or CH. I just used the BCG & CH from another AR when I shot the 20 rounds...
I pretty sure I ruminated about muzzle loader alloys awhile back. Well, today I tested them out. I’ve always hated casting pure lead because it seems to not want to fill out a mold as well as my more used alloys. Awhile back I cast up some Lee .58 cal Minies out of pure lead and some 20:1 lead...
Haven’t made one yet, but I saw this on Facebook today and wanted to share with all you fine fellas. I’d go a hair shallower and do the old cut and try methods but it’s good to have a reference point.
I’ve been shooting various forms of BP for quite awhile now. From way back in my youth of punting with a Hawkins style .50 cal to several years of CAS shooting BP Cartridge class to more recently shooting older gun and more modern repros with BP. Through those many years I’ve gone through many...
I got tired of holding two or three metal stamps together to mark my ingots with WW, PB, or 20:1, my most used alloys, so a quick trip to Hobo Freight and some crappy welding and I’m all set!
As Brittney Spears is famous for saying…
“I’ll Fu#%!~<g cut you!”
No, no, no…. Less 2020’s Brittney and more 1990’s Brittney…
Oops; I did it again…
Stopped by a semi regular haunt and looked back on the goody rack and saw something by shiny.
Came home with a Pedersoli 1861...
Been meaning to do this for awhile. Ended up with about 145 pounds of ‘pure’ lead. Now need to alloy much of it down for my normal 20:1 alloy.
it just doesn’t look as impressive when it’s somewhat organized!
A freind is looking for a mosin stock to use to try on a very rare rifle that he has that is without a stock at the time. It will be more of a trial fitting type of deal so conditions isn’t super important. I’m assuming a synthetic stock would work as well. He’s a good dude and I’m trying to...
Thea arrived the other day. It’s a busy week so I won’t be able to really look them over for a bit but I’m looking forward to shooting them. I’ve never had anything like one of these bad boys. A buddy loaned me a Minie mold so I’ll cast some of them up and see how they do!
No offense meant on the quote but we all know about experts…. Anyways I picked up a muzzle loader at auction and think it might be something pretty rare. I have opened many and currently own a few firearms that have sone age to them, so I kind of know what to look for on original vs repro, but...
So, curious question. If you are ‘working up a load’ how many rounds of each load do you load up for a range trip. I know that will vary depending upon the situation. I was lucky enough a couple decades ago to be able to shoot several hundred yards from my loading bench. Back the;it was nothing...
I picked this up from Noble Sniper a few weeks back. after dealing with a timing and spring issue, I was able to get it to the range today. It was a lot of fun! Been too long since I’ve shot a C&B revolver. I’m looking forward to shooting it a lot more!
I’m looking for an Uberti SAA in 45 colt with a 7-1/2” barrel. Preferably close to Indy.
let me know what you’ve got Or if you know here one is at a shop.

Not 100% sure on what this is, guessing a 1937 Brazilian with the crest removed. Could also be a commercial made 2nd Model Hand Ejector. Chambered in .45 acp with clips or AR brass. Very clean chambers and bore and lockup is nice and tight. Original, large medallion checkered grips...
