    Burned!

    I'm trying not to be vindictive or revengeful but I do feel not replying to my last PM is disrespectful. Heck he could post "go bleep yourself"; at least it would be a response. :)

    Burned!

    I am hoping this thread will shame the seller into action so I don't want to name him right away. At least 3 here have figured out who it is and it really isn't difficult with the info I have given. If nothing happens in a while I'll probably name him and possibly give the moderators access to...

    Burned!

    I see it didn't take you guys long to find the listing. I was willing to pay that price for a decent gun as no one makes that version today and I didn't get to buy one back in the 70s.

    Burned!

    I bought a revolver from a member here about a month ago, Colt pocket repro. It was listed as a rare version and it had some features I liked; long round barrel and square back trigger guard. Because of the listing and the features I liked I paid a premium for it. What I received was a gun built...

    Mowrey Bicentennial KB54 Trigger Needed

    At one time Deer creek had Mowery guns and parts; mostly regular side lock Mowerys, not so much the Allen & Thurber style. You might call to see if they have anything on hand. https://www.deercreekproducts.net/

    1863 Starr Single Action Revolver Cylinder Stop

    One issue is that the majority of the members here are into contemporary firearms and reproductions and not antiques.

    Why is this John Manton frizzen/pan designed with this V?

    It's a rain proof pan. The water that ran off the barrel and stock was channeled away from the pan by the shape of the lockplate on either side. I don't know how effective these locks were but I do know from experience that the lack of a drain around the pan is a weak point in lock design.

    D. A. Viens Pistol

    Thanks for the photos. Don described his job in the Navy as a cumshaw artist so I suspect he had a pretty cushy time in the service. Any time someone need a "gift" for a high ranking officer he was the one they came to. He was quite active in Morgan's Riflemen and his contributions helped the...

    Small pistol of some type

    eprouvette: A measured charge of powder was placed in the chamber and the cover closed. The wheel was numbered and when it was fired the cover would be blown open and the relative strength of the powder could be measured by how far it was blown open (the number on the wheel).

    D. A. Viens Pistol

    Don Viens was retired a Navy Chief and a gunmaker. He passed away quite a number of years ago and lived in Winchester, VA. He was an original member of Daniel Morgan's Riflemen and attended reenactments and rendezvous as a member including going from Winchester to Quebec in 75. He claimed...

    Sourcing barrels for 2009 era Pietta NMA in Navy caliber

    Suggest you purchase a Uberti loading lever latch. It is dovetailed into the barrel and will be permeant whereas the Pietta one will be troublesome.

    Photos please. Does this action have a half ****? Shouldn't this be in the firearms for sale section?

    Rebuild of an antique American Side hammer pistol

    I could see this configuration as a basis of anything from a target pistol to a defensive piece and in any size from a pocket pistol to the .56 caliber that it is. It's ingenious and I like it. Wishing you luck in reproducing it.
