    .44 ID and value

    Back with another find at a local auction. The hammer seems to be stuck at half cock. I couldn't move it at all. Cylinder and trigger won't move either. Loading rod moves throughout its entire range. One guy at the last auction pointed out a U.S Patent mark on the cylinder of an earlier...

    What type of image file

    Copy - paste didn't work - at first. Apparently the problem was with the file sizes. I had taken the pictures with my cell phone at 12M, then edited out irrelevant portions. This left the full-pistol files at about 15Mb., which wouldn't upload. Tonight I used an imaging program to scale the...

    Many years ago (about 30) I was firing a 58 and casting my own balls. That rifle was lost and the casting equipment was placed in a drawer in my pole barn (i.e.: NOT climate controlled). I recently purchased another 58 and want to cast balls again. What is the best way to clean up the old...

    Bore measuring

    Let me say that I am sure that this has been addressed before but I couldn't find a previous thread by searching for "meauring barrel" (or I should say I found too many). I have 'slugged' the barrel of my Navy Arms .58 buffalo hunter using Rotometals' Roto158-190. Now, how do I properly measure...
