    SOLD SOLD PENDING FUNDS-Pietta .36 New Model Navy Unfired $250 shipped.

    Looks like an 1858 Remington. Can you post a photo of the maker's info on the barrel? Good looking pistol.

    Kibler hawken

    When Jim mentioned in a different thread that he might make a Hawken he called it the "dread Hawken", so obviously it will have a dread lock. It should be very popular in Jamaica. :rolleyes:

    More dumb laws in WA state

    That appears to be the plan, along with making it so difficult and onerous we will just stop hunting and shooting in general.

    More dumb laws in WA state

    WA state government is working again to destroy hunting AND the environment by eliminating predator hunting. I have never hunted predators, but we have coyotes, black bears and cougars on our island, a fifteen minute ferry ride from Seattle and Tacoma. Here's an article that spells it out...

    FOR SALE 1865 Enfield for sale

    If you want to sell this rifle at that price you would do well to photograph it from the butt to barrel tip from the left, the right, the top and the bottom, four or five photos each working from one end to the other. There should be more information stamped on the side of the barrel right...

    FOR SALE 1865 Enfield for sale

    Any minute now someone is going to ask you to post a photo of the rifle with your name and the date written on a piece of paper next to it. Who is the maker? A photo of the stamped area the barrel would be good. What is the barrel twist? thanks

    Kibler's next gun?

    Buck and ball might be just as effective, and a lot easier to load.

    What kind of stuff do you all read?

    Just finished THE DESTROYING ANGEL, and now on to THE ENGLISH CARTRIGE, both by Brett Gibbons. If you are a history AND a ML nerd these books are for you.

    Enfield P53 reproductions

    If you want to see it up close and get a better explanation than I can give, watch this video: They drilled the flash channel at an angle. The nipple was placed closer to the barrel than the Springfield 1861, and the hammer reached over to strike the nipple, whereas the Springfield was more...

    Enfield P53 reproductions

    If you have experience with them I am interested in knowing how they shoulder in comparison to the P53, and how accurate they are. I assume they are more accurate, all things being equal, and the historical context aside for a moment.

    @maillemaker How do the Whitworth and Volunteer rifles stack up against the P53?

    Enfield P53 reproductions

    There's a problem with Pedersoli in the nipple placement and flash channel. I don't know if this is true on all of the reproductions they've produced.

    Enfield P53 reproductions

    A friend just reminded me that the P53 was designed by committee, which explains why the bore, Pritchett bullet and cartridges, and consequential musketry technique, were so advanced for the time while the stock was not. He also mentioned that the Springfield was easier to shoulder.
