    Opinions on unmarked .45 rifle

    i will give an opinion and you know what free opinions are worth. very good craftsmanship through out. someone knew what he was doing, in the late 1970's or there abouts. that is when i first started using that checkering pattern. also, looking at the muzzle, there is no crown and no sign of...

    For anyone considering an Indian manufactured Flintlock

    all three of these girls look on the verge of death. this stick of a girl looks like she just got out of Dachau. sad what is being force fed the population.

    For Sale - Parts Steel & Warren 16ga Shotgun Parts added Stock pics

    could you post a picture of the stock? having a stock, no matter if it is ready for the stove, makes it easier to layout a new one.

    I forgot to pack the roundballs - but the substitute worked

    granted it was the last century, and almost the one before that when i last had a jaw breaker, but my memory is that they were solid to the core and probably weighed 180 grains. now i have to find some!

    How Does a Touch Hole Liner Improve Reliability?

    I put liners in all the rifles i sell. my keepers are all 1/16th hole drilled far enough in front of the breach plug to clear if a liner is needed later due to wear. also i modified a right angle ratchet screw driver and cone the inside of the touch hole on those that are wanted with just a...

    .58 Colonial is a heart breaker

    that right there is why we always shot deer in the head back in the 50's and 60's! blow up a heart like that and momma would take a strip off with a willow switch. that is some definite medicine right there. biggest hole i have made in a critter was .54 going in. didn't check the going out size...

    I forgot to pack the roundballs - but the substitute worked

    my older sister would buy them for a cent and charge me 2 cents for one. I have my teeth and she don't! i never had a that extra cent.

    picked up some revolvers

    yeah, I used to do the same with the old phone. this one is 16 generations ahead of the old one. I am 32 generations behind the current one! I have both pistols stripped down and soaking in atf and diesel to mitigate the rust. it was weird, all the rust was internal and there it just wiped off...

    Unclogging a Lee bottom pour

    welding torch wire cleaners work on one of mine. the other i opened up one time and a 4d nail held in forceps works well in that one. usually it is Sulphur and heavier metals that plug the orifice. when you get it flowing, drain it completely and really clean the pot.

    picked up some revolvers

    you didn't need to post the disclaimer :D I can remember some time in the last three quarter century, being guilty of that. I had a 94 winchester in 32-40 lay on my various work benches for a total of 20 years before being restored. also the first Ruger standard pistol i ever took down. 55 years...

    Cracked stock in front of lock

    I can't think of a more heart sinking felling than discovering a crack or break in a stock. I have built stocks for unmentionables for 60 years or so and have experienced that feeling. a few times with a stock that the raw blank cost upwards of 3k. makes one walk about talking to their shoe laces!

    Cracked stock in front of lock

    check the inlet for a too tight fit once you get it glued or the probability of it cracking elsewhere is high. shave whisker thin amounts to create a smooth fit rather than a tight fit. seems counter intuitive but one doesn't want a hammer it in fit. I have to fight myself constantly about this...

    My 92 year old step brother is an inveterate yard sale comber. this week end he bought two BP revolvers that the sellers deceased husband had left in a box is various states of disarray. I quickly gave him a generous profit and have them to keep me occupied whilst the wife recovers from hip...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?
