    No. I saw it on line.

    Progressively rifled barrel for Enfield 1853/58

    Is this the kind of rifling Hoyt uses in his barrels? On the web site they say it's "progressive depth."

    weird Enfield P53 replica

    I saw an Enfield P53 replica that was stamped "made in Italy" but there was no maker's stamp. The other curious thing is the metal is all white. Has anyone else run across a replica like this and knows anything about them?

    SOLD REDUCED Smoothbore Copy of Baker Rifle .62

    Here's a good synopsis of the history of the Baker rifle: https://web.prm.ox.ac.uk/england/englishness-baker-rifle.html Balazs Nemeth's book, EARLY MILITARY RIFLES (ISBN 9781472842312, Osprey) is highly recommended. He also made at least one video on the Baker rifle for his YT channel...

    Rapine Trash Can availability?

    Pin gauges arrived and the .579 fit, but the .581 was too large, so I'm on the look out for .579 minie balls Pin gauges arrived today, and the bore took the .579 but not the .581. S&S has a few different minie balls to choose from in .579 and .580, no trashcans though.

    Thanks for the link Dave951. Pin gauges ordered. None of my friends had the right sizes.

    This is what I've been shooting. These are the only Minie balls my local ML store carries.

    Rapine Trash Can availability?

    Thank you very much for the kind offer, kh54. There aren't any N-SSA events around here, so this is just a personal attempt at being as historically correct as possible while achieving good accuracy. As Dave951 noted, I had better figure out the bore diameter on this rifle before ordering...

    SOLD Looking for a Ruger Old Army Revolver

    Best of luck, Sound Tribe. Keep us posted.

    Rapine Trash Can availability?

    Thanks for the reply. The main reason is I would like use the kind of ammo that they used in 1861, rather than a patched round ball. The second reason is accuracy. Using my range rod to measure the twist I came up with 1/31, which doesn't seem right. The grooves are pretty shallow. It has...

    Rapine Trash Can availability?

    Does anyone make aftermarket barrels for these? What was the twist and bore size on the original P61? Were they designed to shoot Minie or Pratchett?

    Rapine Trash Can availability?

    Armi San Paolo made my Enfield P61, and it's dated 1964. For its age it's great shape. My cheap hardware store calipers measure the bore to be between .58 and .57. I ordered a better set of calipers that measure to 1/1000th but they haven't arrived yet. Is it safe to assume the twist is 1/48?

    Thanks for the info, Hawkeye2. That's another source new to me.

    I tried TOTW, but didn't see them. I'll try OSF, which is new to me. Thanks!

    SOLD Looking for a Ruger Old Army Revolver

    The price I saw was $900. It might include an extra cylinder. It was nickel plated, or maybe stainless steel.

    There is a very clean ROA for sale at my local ML shop. It's been a month since I stopped in, but it might still be there. https://www.muzzleloaderssupply.com/

    Rapine Trash Can availability?

    Thanks. I don't see it on his web site. Without the tools to cast my own finding them for sale on line is my best option.

    ACW Enfield cartridge box metal interior

    Anyone know where I can order the metal interior of an ACW Enfield cartridge box? Internet search has failed me. I want to make a leather cartridge box, but lack the skills to form the tin interior. Perhaps someone here makes them?

    Rapine Trash Can availability?

    Where can I buy Rapine Trash Can bullets? @Dave591has had success with them, so I'm hoping they will improve the performance of my Enfield P61. Right now 575 minie balls with 60 grains of fffg are hitting all over the place at 25 and 50 yards. I hope to work my out to 100 yards with the right...

    .54 Identification

    Have you taken the barrel off the stock? The maker might have stamped the barrel underneath, or labeled the stock under the barrel.
