Percussion nipple charger????
Seems to me... :hmm: That if this fancy device allows the blast from a very small charge of powder to easily pass through a tiny hole in the nipple to ignite the main charge... Then why wouldn't Murphy's Law -- or physics -- take over and allow the BLAST FROM A MUCH LARGER MAIN CHARGE to...- OldNo7

pistol presentation cases
I just completed this "French-fitted" storage box for my Uberti Schofield, but it might just give you some ideas... Got the plain box for $20.00, spent $5.00 for a lid support, $3.00 for green felt, and $30.00 for the cavalry belt buckle, crossed cavalry swords and oil bottle from Dixie Gun... -

Accurizing the ROA..
I recently recut the forcing cone on my ROA and I'm pleased with the results. Mine was rough and had some machining marks. For other ROA accuracy/other related modifications, check out this prior post of mine: Link Tight groups! Old No7 -
Merit Optical sight
Yup, I've got the Merit too and like it. Funny... But the older I get, the better it seems to work! :thumbsup: Just a tip though, to "test the theory" out for your eyes, get the Lyman non-adjustable version (is it called "Hawkeye"?) for about $15 or so, to see how that works for you. I got...- OldNo7

Competition Pistol Coach
Guys & Gals please forgive me, as this is a centerfire website..... http://www.bullseyepistol.com But it has excellent reference materials for shooting handguns accurately! It helped me go from middle-of-the-pack in .22 Postal Matches, to the Top 5 in Maine. The info helps, but there's "not... -

1858 Loading Stand
On the other hand... You could SAVE 59 BUCKS by going to a craft store and buying a wooden egg. Yep, that's right, a wood egg! Drill a 3/8" hole in one end about 2/3 of the way in, and voila -- it slips over the rammer and prevents your hand from getting sore from loading. Heck, it's even... -

Making a DIY hollow brass ramrod
Well done brother, very well done. If I had a brass-trimmed T/C Seneca, instead of a blued Cherokee, then I might have made one myself. Nice work. Now, about that Badger hat... :hatsoff: Old No7 (Hint to all: He really is my twin brother!)- OldNo7

TC Cherokee/Seneca nipple wrench
If I remember right, I use a Sears Craftsman open-end wrench (very small, part of an ignition set *) that's a size 5mm -- and it fits perfect! Old No7 * from back when our other toys had points to set? "Freedom and the Second Amendment... One cannot exist without the other." © 2000 DTH- OldNo7

WD-40 in revolvers
According to documented Police Reports, the regular use of WD-40 in a firearm is a pretty good way to get SHOT by a perp! It will eventually gum up the works... I can't remember all the details, but my Dad was a locksmith north of Boston (family business since 1899!) and we had a posting about... -
Patriot Pistol
Years back, T/C had a fire and I've heard that parts & tooling were lost; obviously they didn't see the return on getting it back into production. They are nice -- and pricey these days -- but you can find them on Auction Arms or GunBroker. Old No7 -
