    could barrel be bent?

    Well thanks for all the responses guys. I had a post about this gun a couple of years ago, bought it from a local gun shop, it was on consignment. Hind sight I didn't really know what to look for in a BP gun, didn't check the barrel, etc. It was a cool looking T/C and in .54 no less so I...

    could barrel be bent?

    Really been trying to work up a load lately for my .54 Renegade. The further out I shoot the more it shoots to the left. Got it shooting good today at 50 yards but the rear sight ended up being adjusted pretty far right to get it to hit center. Is there a fix for this short of buying a new...

    1st Model Dragoon

    Well after doing some more looking here on this site I found a thread from last month where Tac provided some information that has helped me with #1. The shield is a Gardone Val Trompia Proof house stamp, PN stands for Pulvero Nero or Black Powder and the XX9 means the gun was made in 1973...

    Question on a shotgun

    K so after thinking about what everyone here has told me, and talking with my gunsmith who agreed that this shotgun (the one made in India in the'70s) has never had a good safety reputation I have decided to send it back to my buddy and not risk permanent injury :thumbsup: So I have some...

    Question on a shotgun

    K thanks. So the longer tail is folded back over the roll thereby making the top portion a little wider for the over shot? Think I got it. Talked to the gunsmith today. He said he would check it out real good and look for safety issues. Said he would do a hardness test on the steel and make...

    Question on a shotgun

    Thanks guys. Really nervous now about shooting this thing once it gets back from the gunsmith. :( I will call him and have him check it out real well for any safety issues. I guess I am not imagining how the top is folded and tied on a paper tube? Should the dowel be just smaller than the...

    Question on a shotgun

    You are probably right in regards to the diameter. You can tell the numbering and lettering were stamped by hand and have worn down over time so it is a little hard to read. Once I pulled the barrel off I could tell that there is not a lot of detail work in the stock so it does not surprise me...

    Ramrod Material

    What do you think about aluminum Zonie? I ask cause that is what mine is. My wood one broke the first time I used it (it was used) so I got the ends off of the wood one and found an aluminum arrow that was the same outside diameter and glued the end on. Has worked great but I have always...

    Shipping Black Powder

    Thanks guys for all the info. That is what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. And you are right, I must not shoot enough :redface: I am hoping to get into shooting BP shotgun so maybe I would be going through quite a bit more. I will have to dig deeper into who around here shoots Real BP...

    Shipping Black Powder

    So let me just throw this question out there and see what happens. :hmm: If I were to order BP from a on-line supplier, cause I can't find it around here, then it looks like I would have to buy a minimum of 5 lbs running at about $20/lb so a minimum of $100 purchase which includes the...

    T/C Renegade Range Report

    :surrender: Thanks Zonie :wink: This is not a new gun. Relatively new to me, I have just reaquired the Traditional Muzzleloader bug. I did buy this gun used from a local gun shop so I don't know how many shots went through it before me, or what kind of care it was given. I am still in...

    Newbie Questions

    Thanks, I will keep looking. Here in NM I can't find anything under the turkey regs where it states what the legal gauge is, however in other places it does mention that nothing smaller than a 28 guage is allowed, for deer with shotgun slug for example. I would not want anything smaller than...
