    I am totally…..

    A lot of 'what I heard' is repeated in this country with not a trace of evidence or even a source and its almost never to make things better. I am going to be very surprised if we all learn that the scarcity and rising cost of powder and primers is the result of unspecified but certainly...

    Beans and rice

    I've never had beans and rice that I didn't like, and I've had about every combination you can imagine. One of my favorite variations, from a local Greek restaurant, includes sirloin tips..I want to try to duplicate that with venison tenderloin.

    Bear Hunt

    Congrats! That's a really nice-looking bear and a sow that big is rare, indeed.

    Colt vs Remington

    As noted above, the fouling criteria as applied between the two designs requires a sample size exceeding the total number of shots fired at the OK Corral or by any officer carrying an original example of either design in a military engagement. Part of the fun of repro C&P revolvers for many...

    how to pull a ball

    These threads yield such a wealth of ideas , tried and true methods and improvised tools and techniques, but almost NEVER does the OP post their final result. Drives me crazy, not knowing how it all turned out. I hope its not because the OPs are no longer among the living, having been on the...

    Please tell me, what was this rifle before it got "decorated"

    Brass tacks were a prominent trade good during European colonial expansion in the 18th and 19th centuries. Indeed, one of the most valuable ( recently sold for over $150,000) and most studied historical guns in the US is Suhtaio Cheyenne Chief Black Kettle's Sharps carbine - decorated with...

    Shipping Percussion Rifle from US to Canada

    I want to send a nice reproduction percussion rifle to a friend in Alberta as a gift. I've read the latest Canadian laws and regs and it appears that as long as I apply for and obtain an Authorization to Transfer (ATT) and send that paperwork along with the gun, I can mail it from my local post...

    Some Questions Regarding Percussion Sharps Rifles

    Thanks for that tip. I'm low volume and don't shoot enough in a session to even consider a mod on my early Farmingdale infantry rifle. For the same reason, I savor rolling my own cartridges.

    Does BATF check on black powder purchasers ?

    True, and because insurance companies dont like to do that, they can require documentation of certain policies and practices before they agree t cover or renew coverage for businesses.

    Does BATF check on black powder purchasers ?

    Ummm. Maybe there is an explanation that does not require assumptions some would consider 'paranoid'. Have you read about the LARGE amount of money Remington ultimately AGREED to pay victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting? If I was the attorney advising or an insurance company insuring any...

    Best material for range rods ?

    I have been saving a 72" .25" steel surveyors rod I acquired to use for locating a buried tank. Very straight, a wee bit of flex and spring to it. I was thinking it could be made into a range rod but worry about the potential for damaging the bore. But after reading some of the ideas other...

    Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Appreciation Post

    Master and Commander is likely to be the last film of that sort that will be made. It was one of the most expensive movies ever made due to the complexities of filming at sea and the commitment to accuracy. Now it is all done with computer-generated graphics and green screens, with little...

    Grizz with a 50 RB

    Lots of very big bears have been taken with a single arrow shot from a recurve bow or a single round from a low velocity rifle. The trick is to shoot them in the proper spot with a projectile that will penetrate the hair before they are all riled up. When they are riled up, the bears' hormone...

    Hog hunting

    Hogs are wary, tough and their vitals are well-protected. On the first morning of my first hog hunt nearly 40 years ago, a 300 lb hog came walking -stumbling really - my way, pushed by a small but persistent dog. As it got closer I saw that it had three arrows sticking out from it side and...
