    Wheel weight lead question

    It is not going to obturate in the bore as well and therefore not seal and take the rifling as well, so it will be less accurate, but for steel and paper plenty good. Don't worry about the wear on the barrel as even wheel weight lead, hardened with tin and antimony is nowhere near as hard as...

    Guns International

    Seem to be quite a few new members selling stuff on this forum of late, with less than a dozen or so posts total. I have kinda been wondering about that.

    Oval Bolt Stops

    I have a Uberti 1st model Dragoon with the ovals. No problems with mine. I have to agree that the change to rectangles. was matter of simplified and less costly machining by Colt.

    Colt 1851 Navy—120 yards?

    Absolutely doable and done regularly with modern cartridge arms, and black powder revolvers are in many cases close to or equal to many modern arms, with a lot of practice, not absurd at all, and in the realm of believability to hit regularly with a Colt Navy. Now what the impact of that hit...

    Ami San Paolo pistols

    They are of good quality, but as hawkeye2 said, parts are the problem and would have to be hand fitted.

    Didn't the 1763 Charleville make up the bulk of the Charleville's provided to the U.S. during the AR?

    Need advice on collection of 4 unopened 1970s kits I just purchased

    Weren't the Spanish ones furbished with Bergara barrels? They have quite the rep now.

    India Barrel Failure

    Some people make a hobby of doing that with cars.:D Like I said, if I get ambitious, key word being if.

    India Barrel Failure

    Not real stickler for detail, not a reenactor and like to tinker so I may go in for improving its looks more to spec if I get ambitious. I just want an AR era flintlock musket to play with, that I won't feel bad about if it gets dinged up and doesn't end up sitting because it's too valuable to...

    India Barrel Failure

    Both are copper alloys and there are myriad variations and additives in those alloys, that some look alike is not surprising since both are based on copper alloyed with a "silvery metal" but no place more than metal alloys, can looks be deceiving. In my research into buying a AR era musket I...

    India Barrel Failure

    Yep, simple, no lengthy discussion needed. Bronze is a copper/tin alloy with greater tensile strength and hardness making it suitable for things like tools. Brass is a copper/zinc alloy with greater corrosion resistance and ductility, making it suitable for things like cartridge cases...

    India Barrel Failure

    If you want to know what steel exactly is used int he Indian gun, go to one of their distributor's websites, they are very specific about it.

    Pedersoli Brown Bess ?’s

    What's needed is a rollicking adventure without the bias messaging BS and over the top darkness, maybe along the lines of Swiss Family Robinson or even the original Pirates of the Carribean. That would appeal to more people, getting more people interested in period muzzleloading, which is...

    Pedersoli Brown Bess ?’s

    Problem is these days that most "gun folks" have tuned out Hollywood given their track record for the last couple decades, and even if they do put out a decent movie, don't go to see it, or buy it figuring (and most times accurately) it's just more of the same. While Jeremiah Johnson and even...
