    In the pawnshop.

    Great score! The pawn shops around here seem to specialize in broken junk. I have a Tasco scope on my 7 mm Mag centerfire rifle...never a problem in 25 years. I inherited a .50 Investarms /Cabelas Hawken from my Dad with a nice Redfield scope...I think I'll leave it that way as that was his...

    1858 Speed Shooting video

    That was a lot of lead to push through a barrel in a short period. I'd love to see what his target looked like .

    Thanks for the warm welcome! From reading the forums so far I have concluded that I now have four completely different BP weapons. My Dad liked the 50 cal Hawken but I cannot lie: I am psyched to learn how to play with the 54 cal. Sharps New Shiloh 1863 rifle, Farmingdale 3 digit SN. As a...

    Are movie prop revolvers fully functional reproductions?

    Five pages into this thread, some observations: 1) The so-called absolute prohibition against political posts on general forum thread has not impeded the unproductive expression of politically-based vitriol; 2) Movies featuring lots of shooting have been popular for over 90 years yet some folks...
