    My 1863 Starr.

    Thanks for that, Relic Shooter, I’m a relic shooter too but I’m more the relic. Got to fire the Starr today, unfortunately only 6 shots due to range and time constraints. Scored two tens, two nines and two eights on the 25 metre rapid fire target. Was firing off a rest and when I got home and...

    Does anyone make/sell something like a snap cap cone to dry fire a revolver?

    A simple solution is to cut a piece of thin leather and lay it in the channel for the hammer, easy to put in and easy to get out.

    Hy-Hunter Buccaneer questions

    There is option 4, make one. Improvise a forge , plenty on the ‘net using an old vacuum cleaner that has a blow function, a truck axle driven into the earth at 90 degrees for an anvil, some old car leaf spring for material and a book on blacksmithing and have some fun. You’ll have failures but...

    How varied was the craftsmanship on original Kentucky rifles?

    Undoubtedly and like most preserved firearms, the best were kept and the well used ones that have survived may well have been better when new.

    Great photos; what’s that long brown thing in the first batch? Sure envy you being able to hunt with your dad, I look back fondly to times that I spent with my father.

    Flinter Nick, Will do a bit later today. One of the less impressive things about the Starr, works well but I really need gloves🙁.

    Restoration of bench vise from the 16th [more likely 17th/18th] century!

    Could have been used by a gunsmith for small parts; I know that I have a couple of small vyces that arei very handy, especially as clamps.

    Keeping an 1858 loaded indefinitely

    In, as I remember, the MLA of Great Britain's magazine some 60 years ago, there was an item about how long powder would stay active. The butler in a big house asked the boss if he could take a flintlock blunderbuss down off the wall and give it a good clean, permission granted he went to the...

    Building a TRS Scottish Pistol (?)

    To continue the aside, safety is paramount at all times, l’ve seen numerous industrial accidents, thankfully all small. One that didn’t happen was when one of the Army apprentices in the workshop of .which I was foreman, was polishing a bore with the emery paper wrapped around his finger, and...
