    Are the CVA Mountain Rifles 1:48 twist? From memory it seems alot of the production guns from that time were.

    Spiller and Burr

    A question for those of you who have these brass framed revolvers and have shot them a great deal. Have you noticed any looseness in the frame fit, or do you always use light loads?

    Walmart caps

    I don't think Walmarts in SC bother to carry them. I didn't find any last year and have not seen any in Mt. Pleasant this year. My hometown is in upper SC 20 miles from Camden, and when I was up there last year I checked the one in Camden and nothing there either. From the coast to the...

    Looking into getting my first flintlock rifle

    I have a .40 flintlock made by a very dear friend many years ago. It's an excellent highly accurate target rifle. In South Carolina .40 is the largest caliber legal for squirrels and is also legal for deer. Although I generally carry a .54 in the deer woods the .40 is an excellent all around...

    Why the flare on swamped barrels?

    In the early 2000's, after a deliberation of several months, I decided to place an order with Narragansett Armes for their Early Virginia Rifle. The basic rifle was actually a smooth rifle with an octagon to round barrel. As an option you could get the octagon to round barrel rifled, which was...

    KY Pistol Ramrod Question

    I was thinking maybe to string something through to wipe the bore til you said they don't go all the way through. I agree with an earlier reply--it looks like it could possibly weaken the rod and lead to a breakage. As to why, maybe it's just something someone did to personalize it like some...

    Storing black powder in a shed

    I store mine in my garage in a 20 mm ammo can--plenty of room. I even have some in a 5.56 mm can stored in the larger can for added protection..

    Kibler Fowler available.

    I noticed one of the descriptions said the breech plug is included. I also noticed that the front sight and barrel tennons would be soldered to the barrel. Is the breech plug installed when it ships?

    Frontier

    Jason is a big guy and he slaughters people like Jason Vorhees. Overall I liked it. Refreshing to find something made in recent years on that era.

    Indian Charleville M1777 AN IX

    I received my Model 1777 by Pedersoli from DGW last July. I haven't shot it yet, nor the 4 Uberti Colts I ordered from DGW over the last couple of years. I haven't shot any of my firearms since my wife passed 3 1/2 years ago. I am 1 month away from full retirement age, probably won't retire...

    Owners of original (not modern replicas) C&B revolvers, do you shoot them?

    Most people would probably say shoot them, as evidenced by the replies already posted. That is a personal preference. Mine is to never fire one of my originals, that is what they make fine reproductions for. I have been a Civil War collector for over 40 years. I have originals that would...

    Kibler lock In Chambers fowler?

    I am no lock expert and am not sure, but I think the decoration on the English is the only difference from the Virginia. I ordered from Narrangansett Armes their Early Virginia rifle in the very early 2000's. It has the Chambers round faced Virginia lock and has never given any problems.

    Kibler Fowler Update

    For decades I have wanted a smoothbore to shoot in matches and maybe hunt with from time to time. Last July I finally broke down and ordered from DGW the Pedersoli M1777 musket. I have not had a chance to shoot it yet. I still plan to order Jim's fowler when it comes out, probably in walnut...
