    Pietta Patterson

    I have a Pietta Patterson that I have shot with both #11 and #10 caps and usually but not always at least 2 times per cylinder I have to let the hammer drop twice. Not sure if it is the hammer not falling hard enough. If it is not, what do I do. Also, when the Texas Rangers used the Patterson...

    Years ago I bought a reproduction Griswold & Gunnison cap and ball kit gun. I bought it from a place in Angleton, Texas. It is marked SMLS Co angleton texas on barrel. The pistol was made by Uberti. I have not seen any other Uberti like this. Is anyone familiar with this and is it a...

    Can't get barrel off Uberti Dragoon

    when you day apply heat, are you talking about a blow drier or torch? If I use a torch will that not damage the finish of the gun?

    Can't get barrel off Uberti Dragoon

    Yes, that is what I have been doing is trying to puch the barrel from the frame by pressing the loading lever on the space between the cylinder holes and it does not move at all.

    Can't get barrel off Uberti Dragoon

    Yes, I just pulled the wedge completely out and I still can't remove the barrel. I don't want to push any harder on the loading lever because I'm afraid to damage it.

    Can't get barrel off Uberti Dragoon

    I just purchased an Uberti .44 cal. Dragoon. It looks great and shoots even better. When I went to clean the gun I couldn't get the barrel off. I put the hammer on 1/2 cock and used the loading lever to push hard against the cylinder but it will not come off. Any suggestions. Thanks

    Wooden Range Box

    When at the rifle range I have noticed that a lot of the longrifle shooters have really neat wooden boxes that open up and all their black powder stuff they need to shoot their rifles. Also, they have this really neat looking hinged lid part that stands up the flintlock rifle. I have looked on...

    drilling out & re-tap clean out

    I'm pretty sure it is a drum type clean out. Kit is a CVA 50 cal. kit gun that I put together years ago. I probably put about 400 balls through it before the screw blew out. I then ordered several more screws for that model rifle and two more blew out after about two shots. Will the drum...

    drilling out & re-tap clean out

    Sorry, I thought I was on the percussion site. It is a percussion that I have and not a flintlock. It is the clean out screw. It blew out the orginianl screw and I ordered more from the manufacuturer and another blew out so I figured I would have to drill and tap for a new screw, but I didn't...

    drilling out & re-tap clean out

    Has anyone ever drilled out and re-tapped the threads for the clean out screw? My clean out screw keeps firing out of my rifle and I'm wanting to know if I'm getting into a problem area.

    Can I smooth out my Frizzen?

    I have a notch in my frizzen where my flint hits and it is having an effect on my flints. It causes the underneath side of the flints to become gouced out. Can I smooth out my frizzen in some way. It is a commercial traditions rifle. Thanks

    Can the following be safely done?

    If I load a EuroArms 3band Enfield and a ArmiSport CS Richmond with 60 grains of 3F black powder, is this a dangerous load?

    1853 enfield [repro]

    this is a little off topic, but would it be safe to fire 60 grains of 3f out of the Enfield or an armi sport Richmond?

    CVA Bolster Screws

    I have a CVA .50 cal. Kentucky. Lately, I have had a problem with the bolster screw coming out after firing about three shots. All of sudden it is just gone. I screwed them in tight and I think they might be popping out. Is that possible? Does anyone know why I might be losing the bolster...
