    Blue jean material for shooting patches...........

    I had one barrel that loved thick jean material. It was a .45 cal that I had Bill Large cut for me in the mid 1970's. I specified deep rifling, 1:48 twist and to try to drag some choke into the bore. When he gave it to me the bore looked like interior spline gears. Long story about that but...

    Aluminum jaws for vise to hold oct barrel

    I have built rifles for many years and have used lead, copper and aluminum. I finally bought a set of Rice barrel clamps and the difference is amazing. The design for holding octagon barrels is perfect. Barry

    For Those who camp at Friendship Take Heed!

    I will try to inform a little more information on the camping charges. I usually get a place near the pistol range. My contract is for nine nights in the "B" section. For the September Championships it is $30 a night which is $270 for the nine nights. The Spring shoot is also the same price...

    Underhammer in the woods

    Nice to see you have a original Hilliard. He was certainly prolific but not many of his pieces around today. Enjoy the gun while it is in your care! Barry

    "Youngster's" thoughts on 2023 Alabama Kentucky Rifle Show

    BreadBasket95 Yes, I enjoyed the show also. A good place to see old friends and make new ones. I never tire of seeing the old original work of our past craftsmen/artisans. The contemporary work is there to admire also. It certainly gives one the inspiration to continue in our efforts to...

    "Youngster's" thoughts on 2023 Alabama Kentucky Rifle Show

    The set of pistols was made by Fred Riley. Also a couple of other rifle pics there. He was an outstanding metal worker and wood worker. He did lost wax castings in metal and also chiseling the different findings on the rifles and pistols. He was a rather amazing person whose artistry was...

    Non Original Percussion ID

    Yes, that is a Siler lock. The trigger is a single set of contemporary manufacture. The rear sight is also contemporary. That is probably a very useful rifle for competition or hunting, hope the bore is ok. Enjoy it. Barry

    Will 1:66 Twist For A 12" Pistol Barrel Work

    I am really getting irritated with all the misinformation being posted here. Go back and read post number 4 by no second place. Read it three or four different times. Read each word and let it sink in. He is a National Championship winner and not a Master shooter but a High Master pistol...

    FOR SALE Revolver Loading Stand

    Oh, sure Bill, Like I said, the pistol really needs to be in hand so correct curves and angles can be made to the stand. Just send it to me and I will build you one. Of course I have some projects ahead of me that are in line first. You won't mind if I keep it for a year or two while I build...

    Pietta Disappointment

    I totally agree with this. When the guns were bought up during the pandemic there were tons of buyers nagging the different companies to order more. Which they did, this put pressure on the manufacturers get them out the door as soon as they could. With the conditions quoted above the...

    Double boom.

    I will relate a similar thing happen with a commercial longrifle I bought in the late 1960's. I had been using it for a few shooting sessions. One day when I took it to a range I noticed it having a definite delay between the cap popping and the main charge ignition. It was not a severe...

    FOR SALE Revolver Loading Stand

    William, Just a work of advise on a pistol stand. I have made a few over the years and there can be a problem if they are not built right. Pistols require more support than revolvers. A pistol has no reinforcement on the handle to absorb the impact of driving a tight ball down the bore...

    FOR SALE Revolver Loading Stand

    I made this for my revolvers. It is very helpful especially when competing in NMLRA limited timed fire matches. The articulated funnel system is made for use with many different frame size revolvers. It makes it very easy to dump in the powder charge and then the corn meal without spilling...
