    Which caps to use?

    That's pretty slick right there, never would have thought of that. Just a few "love taps" will do it maybe?

    Also considering quitting due to >>>

    As a practical matter I think it is a little a bit of a stretch to have a firearms related forum while at the same time, declaring "Politics" off limits. Keep in mind everything as in Every Thing in recent decades has been politicized, even the weather.

    Which caps to use?

    Who makes a 10.5? My Pietta revolver are like that. Remington 10 or CCI 11 are roughly identical in diameter, both just slightly too loose, pinching them a bit ovoid will remedy that. CCI 10 on the other hand need two (2) strikes to fire. I suppose either purchasing some of those special...

    Caps For Sale?

    Woah! I can't even hardly believe they were ever that cheap, and I've been buying them a lot longer than that. Very good foresight on your part. I've a few of the hundred count tins, have always tried to keep a stock on hand "just in case".

    Belgium made percussion pistols

    That's the nice thing about standards, there's so many to choose from.

    shipping problem UPS

    That's crazy. If they are just going to blow off signature requirements, why are they taking or charging extra money for a non-existent service? BS. Plus they have no excuse when something comes up missing or stolen.

    Belgium made percussion pistols

    $89 bucks (in 1962) wasn't exactly chump change, how does that square with a S&W .38 or a .38 Colt revolver in the same era?

    Bartender, I'd like two of whatever he's having. Better make it a Triple. Thanks!

    Considering quitting!

    It's early. I hought you wrote you were gonna take up Quilting. Never mind. (I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that.)

    Black Powder

    I never cared for it, but it does have a shelf life about measured in glacial epochs. With the recent trend of long term calorie stockpiling (not new to me) I looked at maybe acquiring a few tins or maybe learning how to make it.

    First the ammo now the guns????

    I'd love to have a genuine Colt or Remington. To be honest, I never appreciated just how good the Uberti and Pietta firearms actually are. I just "assumed" that for $200 or so, they must only have a passing acquaintance with Quality or accuracy with respect to period originals. They do have...

    After giving it some thought, it is theoretically possible, however improbable, that someone both doesn't have access to a cast iron pan (kidnapped?) and at the same time forced at gunpoint to make a batch of Cornbread. I mean, it could happen. Other than that, I got nothin'.

    First the ammo now the guns????

    Never happen. American regulatory and labor costs, health care, *** changes for illegal aliems on death row, etc etc etc are prohibitively expensive. People might pay $250 for a reproduction cap and ball revolver, but they won't pay $1250. Add to that the uncertainty (or certainty) in the...

    lost Ships Biscuits info

    Well what I meant by that, it is controversial, the recipe itself. Particularly the sugar. Well, those might be called Hoe Cakes, Johnny Cakes, Corn Pone ... I am a Yankee, but I maintain anybody who would cook Cornbread proper in anything other than a cast iron skillet would like as not push...

    I've half a mind to start a Cornbread recipe thread here, I'd expect there are some opinions on this subject. But I'd hate to be thought of contributing to rancor and dissension amongst the muzzleloader comminity. I think we could all agree it should be baked in a cast iron skillet, but after...

    Gun in Alamo

    Hey! Well that's good news, or at least better than "We've no idea" and pointing fingers. That's a new development, too, isn't it? It would be really good if you could find your dad's copy. Did he have an attorney that he used, or a safe deposit box?

    Gun in Alamo

    Yeah, that isn't exactly a prescription for confidence. It is what it is, they may well have sold it. Seems to me I read somewhere Phil Collins, a drummer for a rock band, has a pretty stout collection of Alamo artifacts.

    Need a permit to purchase a BP revolver?

    A lot of outlets won't ship to NY state period, because it's a mish mash of conflicting regulations depending on the county or city and the odd numbered side of the street, so they just don't want the hassle. Can't say I blame them.

    Is This For Real?

    LOL!! When Flints are in short supply to pretty near unobtanium, I reckon Americans are downright pissed off. Warms the cold space where my heart used to be, it does!

    The "Anyone winter camping?"<-- Winter camping, Winter camping ideas, photos, plans... Please read 1st post before posting.

    No argument there, the descending gloom in the wintertime without a fire always has a "What are you doing!?" element to it. And a campfire provides light, which is welcome when night comes so early that time of year.
