    3rd Model Dragoon Bored-Out to use .490 Balls!

    Just ream the cylinder deep enough to seat the bullet/ball. No reason to bore it all the way to the nipple openings. Don't the rebated cylinder Colts(1860 Army/.44 "Navy" types) have tapered chambers for this reason? Don in Ohio

    Redoing your old work

    Well, yeah. It's not going to be "worth it" in any monetary sense. I've already come to the conclusion that the wood isn't going to be very cooperative as far as the appearance I'd like to achieve. It is what it is, I guess.

    Log Cabin Shop

    Track of the Wolf, yeah, that would be another place that I shouldn't live close to. I might LIKE being close but being broke would suck! Log Cabin is about a 50 mile trip, each way. That keeps me under some control. I grew up in New London, Ohio where Miller Bedford had his gun shop. He was...

    Log Cabin Shop

    Went there today, with a buddy of mine. It was by no means my first visit, that was back in 1968, more or less. I escaped out the door with only $212.00 less than I came in with. A dozen flints, one tin of musket and one of #11 caps, an RPL lock and a buckskin pouch. We had intended to use the...
