    Conicals for revolvers

    .457 in my Pietta Shooters model will chain fire. I’ve never tried lube over the ball, I just use a .465” ball.

    Percussion Firearm Safety & Hunting Tips;

    Yep, I do like the stalking safety found on fine British rifles, percussion and flintlock, but the crossbolt safety on any classic rifle is an abomination against God and man.

    I have to rethink the spare cylinder idea

    For the sake of your children, kill the internet.

    I have to rethink the spare cylinder idea

    Maybe, maybe not. People have tended to become smarter than the previous generations. Until recently apparently…

    DIY Defarbing and Refinishing

    Interesting. The front strap looks almost like a Bisley Colt.

    I have to rethink the spare cylinder idea

    💯 I’m not convinced these plastic guns will ever catch on… the 1860 Colt Army is just the highest and best expression of the gunmakers art.

    For sixty years.....

    This is exactly what I do. Except I seldom use Ballistol, prefer hoppes or windex, (gojoe works too) and oil lightly with Eezox. Let that dry and reload.

    $200 TC

    Yours isn’t all that collectible. It’s a really nice hunting rifle at a really great price!

    I have to rethink the spare cylinder idea

    The average person didn’t have anything like the resources of an average American today. You don’t just chuck a $20 pistol in favor of a 25 dollar pistol when you’re not making that much in a month. We’re all gun cranks here and we can appreciate new and improved firearms but unless you made...

    I have to rethink the spare cylinder idea

    VC didn’t typically take scalps, but sure, some good lads, as well prepared as the Corps could make them, died because they couldn’t manage to perform simple tasks like magazine swaps or clearing drills under extreme duress. I can’t find any fault here. Not everyone can be John Rambo.

    I have to rethink the spare cylinder idea

    It may be one thing to do for practice but under actual combat conditions on horseback? I have questions… I’ve seen Marines and soldiers fumble reloads with unmentionable combat weapons, can’t manage simple stoppages, etc. It’s not hard to see how swapping cylinders at a canter while dodging...

    Help for a rookie please

    I rode in a Jimny once. I think the Suzuki is sold as a Samurai in the US… I’m pretty lanky and it was not a good fit for me. Very capable little rig though!

    Maximum loads for 1858 Remington

    I like the lube a bit lighter than the factory stuff, and I also add Stihl HP Synthetic lube to the blend (it stops leading, period.) I have one Ruger that was showing streaks of lead from the un lubed Kerr bullets until I added vegetable fiber wads over the charge. I use a .463” x .030”...

    Renegades too if I recall correctly.

    Bullet suggestions for a 1:48 twist

    Maybe. One of my neighbors does ok with his but he’s only using light loads.

    Cimarron 1860 "McCulloch Colt" or antiquing a 1860 Army Uberti

    I’m with you, buy them new and age them with holster wear and time…
