    Goex Powder

    I bought 25 pounds of the new Goex. Have not yet gotten into it as I have a few bottles of old Goex still around. I used Sheutzen about 8 years ago when Goex was out of stock with my usual vendor. I was in the middle of doing load workups with the Moose Wilkinson bullet. This is a...

    How i make my caps

    If 3D printed plastic works, then injection molding should also work, and would be vastly cheaper.

    Looking for a vendor to gold plate firearm parts.

    Evidently there are many different ways to do gold plating. The thickness can vary, and the alloy can vary, which changes the durability of the plating. https://artisanplating.com/plating-services/gold-plating/ I keep all the brass on my guns well polished. I shoot competitively and...

    India Barrel Failure

    I am not a fan of buying any firearm not manufactured to be a firearm, and I've made no secret of this in the past. But, at this point all we have is a picture with a second-hand story. I've asked Mr. Nemeth for more information on this. All that was said so far was that, "The barrel blew up...

    Looking for a vendor to gold plate firearm parts.

    I'd like to have the brass trigger guard on my revolver gold plated so I no longer need to polish it. Can anyone recommend a vendor who can do this? Thanks,

    Pedersoli Bess Mainspring Broken

    I just purchased some parts for my Pedersoli Lorenz via IFG, and my friend simultaneously ordered his direct from Pedersoli. He already got his, I have not gotten mine. I recommend you go to the Pedersoli web site and see if you can buy the part direct from them.

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    It's been years since I looked into getting an FFL. Probably 20. But as I recall, you had to abide by local zoning restrictions, and that is what I would have had a problem with. You have to have a physical location and you had to have "office hours" where they could come inspect you. I gave...

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    This is great news. And again it brings up something I mentioned before. The ATF is trying to make it so that you have to have an FFL license to personally sell guns. They narrowed down the definition such that pretty much anyone could be accused of selling a gun "to make a profit". Or that...

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    This administration is hell-bent on figuring out how to make it as hard as possible for individuals to sell firearms. They are trying to get around the government being unable to interfere with intra-state firearm sales while still hampering the ability of an individual to sell a firearm to...

    Oh, Come On With the Inflated Caps!!

    Same here in the USA. RWS caps were the best in the world. They have gone dark since about 2019 like you said. I suspect the war in Ukraine is driving all German ammunition making to modern ammo.

    Oh, Come On With the Inflated Caps!!

    Thanks. So there are lots of links for the actual files to print your own on sites like Thingiverse, etc. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6487879 3D printing is pretty slow, though. But zero labor to make the shells.

    Oh, Come On With the Inflated Caps!!

    Many people have asked, and people have posted availability but no links. Cabela's / Bass Pro has #10 Remington caps in stock: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/remington-blackpowder-primers If you can get to a local store, you can do "local pickup / ship to store" with no shipping and no...

    Can you provide a link? I have never heard of 3D printed caps? I would definitely like to know more!

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    You should not have had to fill out a 4473 for a percussion revolver. I am surprised that NICS is not getting annoyed about this. Shiloh Sharps forces you to receive your percussion rifle through an FFL also, which adds another $50 or so to the price of the gun. But these guns are not...

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    Nah, this one is all on Cabela's. Here is the short version of the story: A few years ago, a convicted felon bought a percussion black powder revolver from Cabela's. Felon then used it to murder someone. Cabela's was sued for selling it to the felon. Even though by federal law they were...

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    It's ridiculous. Back in the 90s everyone was just getting an FFL so they could buy and sell guns without a hassle. But oh no, can't have all these "kitchen table gun sellers" running around, so they made it much harder to get an FFL. Now they want all private sellers to be an FFL.

    How to safely clear a loaded muzzleloader that won’t fire

    About the easiest, low-mess way to clear a muzzle loader is using a CO2 discharger like this: https://logcabinshop.com/oc30/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=24787 These will expel the projectile with some force, so I recommend doing this outdoors with a shop towel folded and placed...
