    FOR SALE 1862 Police Revolver 36 Cal.

    This small frame revolver was bought for my wife when she was shooting with me. I made a couple of modifications to it. I removed the bead front sight and replaced it with a blade type. I deepened the notch in the hammer for better sighting. I lightened the trigger pull. It is a...

    FOR SALE Ruger Old Army

    This was my NMLRA competition revolver for many years. It is in very good condition. I made some modifications to suit my preferences. It has an undercut front sight, an overtravel stop on the trigger and the trigger pull has been stoned to a slight creep, stop and break. The trigger pull...

    breech plug question

    Yes, you can use sections of cut off rifle barrels to make pistol barrels. They will work well if the bore is in good condition. I have tried it with my machine rest and they do work better than you might think. The slow twist doesn't matter. At 25 yards you should be able to get under 2"...

    Simple instructions for making a matchlock

    I would certainly like to see this thread continue on. I am interested in the matchlocks and will eventually make one. I am also very interested in the wheellocks and would like to see some drawings of the workings and their relationships to each other. I have the different components in mind...

    An old Walmart rifle for eye candy.

    Frank was quite a character. We used to shoot a lot together from about 1980 until 1985 when I had to move to Florida because of my work. I did not see him again until a state shoot in Tennessee. I think that was about 2006 or so. At that time he was suffering from the effects of chemo and...

    .32 rifle load

    JamesT I might offer a suggestion or two. I use a machine rest to test pistol barrels. After about 1800 shots now with a few different barrels I have learned a few things. 1 - Never trust three shot groups! Use a minimum of five shots. 2 - Do not over lube the patch material. 3 - Never...

    Thompson Center Muzzleloaders Pros & Cons

    No one has mentioned the greatest PRO for the TC Hawken. I will go back to when I could afford a BP rifle in the 1960's. It was hard to scrape up enough dollars to afford the longrifle I bought from Tuner Kirkland. At a later date when I moved back to Florida I joined the Central Florida...

    This sight system

    Hello Little Brother, I have had quite a few of these TC sight sets. I have to think back quite a few years but I believe the screw on the right side in the picture is someone's addition to the sight. It should not be there. If I recall correctly there was a spring and ball detent...

    A couple of target pistols

    I am very curious about the case for the pistols. Could you take a picture of the top of the case and an edge picture of how the radiused corners are made. That is a wonderful set with all the accoutrements in the case.

    Missouri Lead

    Plumbers lead was commonly poured in "Pigs" which were five of these connected by sprues to form a 25 pound "pig". Cast iron bell & spigot pipe and fittings were joined by inserting the spigot into the bell of the pipe or fitting. The joint was then spirally wound with "oakum" and packed...
