    Crazy Question Time

    To me a Berdan primer is just a percussion cap with a short thick cup. I was planning to use cans for stock. I thought about making caps, but I thought aluminum can material would be too thick. I guess the thickness doesn't matter as long as it works. As far as loading Berdan cases goes, it...

    Crazy Question Time

    I have a friend with a gascheck making punch and die. After looking at it I was thinking it wouldn't be that hard to make a primer cup punch and die. This would allow you to make Berdan primers using priming compound. Do you think if I turned a nipple that a small Berdan primer fit, it would...

    Swapping Barrels

    I have a 50 caliber CVA Hawken. I'd like to swap the barrel to 32 or 36 caliber. Does anyone make a barrel that will drop in place, or do I need to order a blank and borrow my buddy's machine shop? Any ideas of where to order a barrel or blanks would be appreciated. Thanks

    What is the big barrel in the Le Mat used for

    It's my understanding it's a 14 gauge shotgun barrel. It should be loaded with buck, or buck and ball.

    Bluing Water Soluble?

    Back in the 90's Oxpho Blue was one of my favorites for touch ups. I hadn't thought about an ammo can. Thanks!!!!

    Lets see some percussion revolvers!

    That's what I get for cleaning while sleepy. It still shoots good, and the case hardening still looks good.

    Lets see some percussion revolvers!

    Before and after. I used my coffee maker to warm the water. Apparently, it still had vinegar in the tank from an earlier cleaning.

    Got this on Wed. Ruined the bluing on Thursday. Oh well, it is what it is.

    Bluing Water Soluble?

    I had just cleaned the coffee maker. It may have had vinegar in it. I haven't blued or parkerized anything since about '93. What do y'all recommend? I looked on Brownell's and they have a lot more to choose from now.

    Bluing Water Soluble?

    I got in a brand new Pietta '51 in 44. I shot seven rounds. I came in and washed the barrel and cyl with Dawn and hot water from my coffee maker. I let it soak. Somehow it removed the bluing. I'm shocked, to say the least. I used this same method to clean the last one. This NEVER happened. What...
