    Cabelas NEW gun policy

    Just called the first bass pro in Springfield Missouri and I asked if a person has to do paperwork on a bp purchase and he said no. I told him that I have heard that bass pro now requires paper work and he said it's not a federal form but it is their own version to protect them from law suits...

    Cabelas NEW gun policy

    They are making people fill out paperwork on black powder guns. I thought it was for revolvers only but I guess it's for all bp guns. I was going to buy a revolver at Christmas and he said I had to do paperwork and I told him not for bp and he said yes I do and I told him that it is illegal to...

    Collecting and brands

    Let's say somebody is going to collect a few choice revolvers. Enough to have a few but not too many so it's not a burden on the family. Would it be wise to collect all from one maker such as Uberti or Pietta or actual Colts so all parts match with in reason or is it just buy what catches your...

    Pietta Starr D.A. Civil War revolver

    Problem with this revolver is you pull the trigger 6 times and then your empty, then what. Just kidding, very nice. Did not know they existed. Thanks for sharing.

    revolver nipples and .44 ball

    Can i put number 11 nipples on my 1860 Army Pietta Colt clone for a hotter ignition and more powerful charge or is that just wasting time? Is the ball size in my .44 cal revolver the same ball and size that a .45 muzzle loading long gun uses? In the past i remember seeing little pieces of hose...

    What i want from my Seneca.

    It's very tarnished, how can I clean it up before giving it back to her. I looked last night and bore is actually perfect so no need to worry bout that. The picture make tje stock look bad but stock just needs wiped down and get layer or dirt off. How can I clean up the brass.

    What i want from my Seneca.

    The reason I am tired of gun collecting is there is too many wants and possibilities and its way to expensive. I'm giving the Seneca back to my mom who owns it and I will stick with my Pedersolie Harkin in .54 cal. It's not much bigger than the Seneca.

    What i want from my Seneca.

    What I want is the smallest, lightest deer rifle I can have and I want powder, caps and other stuff to work on my pistols too. This rifle i am leaving as is. I have a .54 Pedersolie but I want even smaller for backpacking. Will a Seneca in .45 be as powerful as a regular size .45 cal Hawkin? I...

    Thompson Seneca. 36 cal.

    If anybody knows where to find either please let me know. Can I use 3f in .45 cal or is that big enough bore to move up to 2f?

    Thompson Seneca. 36 cal.

    Im going to take it shooting tomorrow. Some thoughts......... Is 3f going to be best over 2f in this small bore? If i can use 3f then i only have to buy one powder for this and my pistols. Am thinking of making this a .45 cal as a one rifle only thing. Fear the man with one rifle they say...

    Thompson Seneca. 36 cal.

    I haven't touched it in years but am dragging out my Seneca in .36 cal. Seams like last time I used it it had some minor pitting in the barrel. Can I get an aftermarket barrel in .36 cal for this? I seem to remember that aftermarket barrels have wider barrels than what Thompson put on the...

    Newbi Advice for a BP revolver

    If you get a Colt clone 1851 in .44 cal you are going to always wish you had one in history correct .36 cal. If you get a Colt clone 1860 in history correct .44 cal you are always going to say "cool, I like this but I want a revolver with an octagon barrel". If you get a Colt clone 1861 in...

    Pedersoli Hawken on clearance

    Today at Cabela's I seen a Pedersoli Hawken Rifle in what I thought was .54 cal but it may have been .50 cal. It was on the clearance rack with damage for a little over $250. The only damage was the bottom corner of the butt was chipped off which left some space between the but and brass. I...

    Storage of Blackpowder

    Thats as good of place as any. A mans home is his castle. Come to think of it I may build a box to put it in and set it next to my toilet. It will make a good place to set my coffie and my guns and ammo mags. Can never have too many hiding places.

    Getting the caps on tight

    Storage of Blackpowder

    For the last 10 years I have had 10 pounds of powder in a storage shed in my back yard. It has went thru every season cycle that Arkansas has to offer. I took it out two years ago and put it in my bedroom closet. A few months ago I took it all out and broke up the clumps and made it all the same...

    Powder and Caps

    A few years back I was working at a machine shop and one of the machinist found one of his checks from 1963. It was $97 for a little over a 40 hour week. He goes, "It was only $97 but I had more money in my pockets back then and I had a house, car and boat payment".
