    Lyman great plains

    Purchased the .50 rifle yesterday. No markings anywhere. Bore was bright and shiny. I popped a cap to test trigger and nipple. It worked fine. Seller also threw in five molds, three Lyman, one Lee and one Ohaus. Seller also threw in lots of powder including four cans of Goex cowboy. Mostly Goex...

    Uberti 1851 Navy

    I saw the revolver today. Removed the barrel and looked down. It was full of rust. I checked the arbor too and it was short. I passed on the pistol, but did get a rifle, a buuuuuunch of powder and five molds. Thanks for all the info gentlemen on the revolver.

    Lyman great plains

    i do have a bore light and will be meeting with the guy early next. I will check it out real well, but didn't realize that some barrels have no markings.

    Lyman great plains

    Need help. Looks at buying this rifle. I am still new at this BP stuff. Seller says it's a .50 cal, but says there are no markings on the barrel. It looks like a Lyman GPR fro other pictures I have seen. Could it be a kit rifle? He has powder to throw in and a revolver also, but I am really...

    Uberti 1851 Navy

    He bought out a family friends gun collection and has no use or does not use black powder is what he told me.

    Uberti 1851 Navy

    I was thinking of starting at $400 and only go up to $450 for all. Good call.

    Uberti 1851 Navy

    I am not anywhere near experienced as you all in BP, but isnt the pic I linked to showing it as a steel frame? Like I said, I'm still a noob.

    Uberti 1851 Navy

    All great replies. Thanks. Seller also has a Lyman .50 GPR, two bullet or roundball molds (.50 and .54) and about 30 cans of powder. He Said he will just give me the powder since by law he can't sell it. I'm gonna try to work a deal on all of it this weekend.

    Uberti 1851 Navy

    I am looking at purchasing a used Uberti 1851 Navy .36. It will be my first foray into BP revolvers. Any known issues? Anything to look at closely? His asking price is $300. What's it really worth? https://www.flickr.com/photos/jefftx/35327787490/ Thanks in advance.

    Old Powder

    Thank you gentlemen. I don't know the brand or type, but I could always use more powder.

    Old Powder

    I'm looking at possibly purchasing a new (to me) rifle and revolver and the seller said he would throw in all the powder. It's been stored in its original cans (about 30 cans), inside an ammo box and is dated from 2004-2005. Any issues? Or should I pass? I haven't seen it in person yet, just a...

    Wedge plate screw holes stripped

    Thank you all for the responses. I am waiting on screw replacement with other goodies from TOTW and will try to repair using match stick with wood glue. The method of putting in wood slivers and wood glue has worked for me before on door hinges at home so I'll give it a try on my only ML. I've...

    Wedge plate screw holes stripped

    Link I hope you all can see the picture below or above. Seems I lost a screw to my Investarms .54 hawken wedge plate after some range practice Saturday morning and that the screw holes are stripped. It also looks like from the picture that it had been previously repaired, but not well...

    Where to buy powder ?

    I got some Goex 2f at bass pro a couple weeks ago. About $30 for a pound. Ouch. When I asked for it, the sales kid asked me what I was going to use it for. I thought about making a wisecrack but thought better of it and told him it was for my black powder rifle. He charged me, put it in a bag...

    First ML Received

    Not sure who put the butt pad on. I have to work this week, but will work the pad. I'm not sure I need one. Gonna clean the barrel with water before hitting the range this weekend if my bass pro has supplies I need. If not I'll order online.
