    How do you clean your rifled barrel?

    Some shooters use WD-40 on their firearms, some don’t. I personally do not have a can of WD-40 around my gun bench. Recently bought an unmentionable rifle that previous own had sprayed enough of the stuff in the rifle that I had to scrape all of the parts with my knife because of the WD build up...

    Do cap and ball muzzle loading pistols need to be shipped to a FFL dealer?

    All firearms in Illinois have to have a 4473 filled out. Even pellet rifles that fire over 750 FPS.

    Public Service Announcement

    Around here we call them Japanese Beatles. The traps use a scented bait to attract the Beatles. When you put them up they will attract thousands of the beatles to your place that might not have come if you hadn’t put out the bait. My suggestion? Take the bait down to your neighbors place and...

    I have a stuck bullet

    I had a stuck round ball in a 36 cal. rifle that was stuck about 6-8” from the muzzle. I was using a grease gun to remove the ball and put a drill bit in the muzzle to watch the ball move as I pumped the grease gun. I had a lot of pressure in the barrel with the grease gun and the ball had not...

    CVA revolver

    Have a friend that has come across a CVA .36 cal revolver with serial number in the 1700’s. What year did CVA begin making revolvers. It doesn’t have any billboard writing on the gun anywhere.

    Have you defarbed your percussion revolver?

    Billboards and warnings on firearms was caused by lawyers back in the 1970’s. When the “billboards were first out on firearms everybody had a come-a-part over all the extra writing on gun barrels. Wasn’t needed and has not prevented anything from happening with said firearms. The world started...

    IAB Sharps Gardone

    I bought an IAB .54 cal Sharpes last year because it was cheap and I always wanted a Sharpes. It is definitely a learning experience. I make my paper cartridges out of adding machine rolled paper and use the kind of tissue paper that is used to fill a bag used for gifts for those that don’t like...
