    Just picked up, Model 1849 Colt

    Again, I appreciate all those who took the time to respond. I take it from the last couple of replies that I did not overpay. I just looked up the SN on Colts data base. Pistol was made in 1860. I hope I am still functional when I am 163 years old.

    Value of Austrian Lorentz

    I appreciate everyone’s thoughts. The rifle does come with an original bayonet, but no scabbard. I am relatively new to black powder military arms, and candidly the current pricing is puzzling to me. It seems that good condition original arms routinely sell for less than new reproductions. To...

    Just picked up, Model 1849 Colt

    I know better, but just made an impulse purchase, hope I didn’t get stung to bad. Appears to be all matching. Bluing is gone, but all markings are pretty good including the stage coach scene. Holds on half cock and full cock, minor cylinder movement at full cock. Grips almost look to good to be...

    NGD - 1861 Rifle Musket (but what exactly is it?)

    Although the pistol parts were made by Uberti, I think the parts for the Signature series Colt Special Musket were made by Armi-sport. At least I was told by the rep at Lodgewood that the armi-sport nipples would fit my Colt musket.

    Value of Austrian Lorentz

    I have been offered an original Austrian Lorentz musket. It is complete and in good overall condition. The seller wants me to make an offer. I am still pretty new at black powder, and these don’t seem to come up very often. What is a fair price on one of these? I know it is hard to say without...

    What to do with this abused model 1842 musket

    Question on model 1863 Springfield bolster

    So on original rifles was the bolster forged as part of the barreled receiver? Or was the bolster a separate part that was attached and if so how was it attached?

    Question on model 1863 Springfield bolster

    I am showing my ignorance here, but better safe that sorry. I recently purchased this rifle and while wiping it down, I noticed a line where the bolster connects to the breech. Is this normal, or was the bolster made as one piece with the breech and this one has cracked? The rifle is a defarbed...

    What to do with this abused model 1842 musket

    What is the process to lengthen a barrel? I have never seen that done.

    What to do with this abused model 1842 musket

    That was my first thought, and would still be my preference. But the barrel has been cut down. The entire barreled receiver is now only 31 3/4 lunches long. The gun would have originally had a 42 inch barrel.

    What to do with this abused model 1842 musket

    I have an original 1842 musket that was probably modified long ago to use as a shotgun. Barrel has been shortened about 8 inches and a brass front sight neatly dovetailed in. A rude ramrod holder crudely welded to the bottom of the barrel. The stock not only had the fore end chopped, the...
