    Differences between Pietta 8" 1860 Army Blued Steel Revolvers???

    Are you using the cap puncher from Sharpshooter? I was wondering if it was okay to use that with anything other than aluminum cans.

    Thinking about getting my first cap and ball revolver.

    That was going to be my recommendation, too. I got a stainless Uberti Remington NMA for my first cap and ball revolver. Actually, when I got it, I had no idea about the easier take-down and maintenance. I just always thought the Remingtons looked really sleek. It wasn't until I started...

    I look forward to seeing your 1860 Army numbers. I have one of those, too.

    Stock Pietta 1858 .44 Chrono results w/8" barrel

    I figured that was what you were doing, and seeing you confirm it is even better because that's how I measure my loads, too.

    What are your favorite targets?

    If your good with that torch, cut out some cowboys shaped like they're doing a quick draw.

    #11 CCI percussion Caps available in Missouri

    They're still in stock if anyone needs them. I'd order some, but I already ordered 1000 of the #11 Magnums a few weeks ago and don't need to overdo it.

    Stock Pietta 1858 .44 Chrono results w/8" barrel

    Awesome data set, especially for the 30gr Pyrodex P because that's what I run out of my Uberti Remington with the 8" barrel. Those are some nice numbers, which show the revolver delivering performance similar to some loadings of a particular popular unmentionable round. Impressive! If anyone...

    That better image clears up a lot of questions about his rifle. Thanks for posting it!

    I don't know. It's in a sheath at least. At the worst, he might get a slap on the head.

    What is that thing in the too photo I circled that's protruding below the wood? A flash pan doesn't usually hang below the wood.

    You're right. When I zoomed it in, it kept popping back to the original size when I took my fingers off the screen, so I couldn't look at it well enough. That part below his knee wasn't very clear when I looked before. But is this part a wick? I don't think match locks were used in the 19th...

    early homesteader

    You know, I hate to say it, but I'm not seeing the side hammer protrusions indicating that his rifle is even a muzzle loader. The only thing I see extending from the sides are the lighter raised sections of his jacket sleeve, which catch the light more prominently than the lower sections of the...

    Yeah, I Used To Shoot 'em

    You and me, both, for those days where I have multiple firearms to clean at once. Although, I would still clean single guns. Being buried in cleaning guns is a great excuse not to do other things I don't feel like doing, and I do still enjoy having an immaculate firearm after having put in the...

    HELP! Cleaning Black Powder handgun

    I don't submerge my BP revolvers. I just use twisted paper towels and q-tips dampened with some olive oil to get the big stuff out of the chambers. What's left gets hit with q-tips and some 'Damn Good Bore Solvent," which is probably just Windex, based on how it smells. I bought the stuff...

    Yeah, I Used To Shoot 'em

    I'm OCD with all of my firearms, modern or BP. I like to clean them to the point that a q-tip with solvent/lube won't come away black if rubbed against any surface. I suspect that anyone who thinks BP takes enough extra time to clean that it isn't worth shooting them, is someone who neglects...

    Please do. I'm curious to see it. If you have the picture on your computer, do a "save as," and when the window pops up with the file name and a folder, you'll see another thing below the file name with the type of file. Just use the drop-down to pick another format. '.jpg" is a good format...

    What are you putting your money on. Draw

    I saw a safety video about why that shouldn't be done. It was pretty nasty. That's why I wouldn't roughly handle a burning piece of it. I would, quite frankly, only do with it what the TM says.

    What are you putting your money on. Draw

    I guess taking advice from a 12B about how to treat it when it's burning was a bad idea, then.
