What did you do today
Not today but yesterday went to Vincennes, Ind. to a Revolutionary War re-enactment. Had been to smaller ones in the distant past but nothing like this. Took my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter with us. Lots of blackpowder smoke and noise. Granddaughter told me that if I wanted to do this...- mjpchief

Gun show prices
Gun show prices around here are way higher than they were a year ago. If you will notice they are called “gun shows” not gun sales. -
What's going on with Dixie Gunworks
Called Dixie today and phone was answered promptly. Asked the lady about the horn straps they had in their catalog. Asked her about the colors they had and she went through the straps they had describing the colors of the straps. I picked a color and placed my order. She explained that shipping...- mjpchief

What's going on with Dixie Gunworks
As long as the government is paying people to stay home businesses will have a hard time finding people who want to work. In my small town we have over 18 places trying to find employees. If everybody quits doing business with DGW they may not be around when we need them. If I need something...- mjpchief

What did you do today
Took my recently purchased Thompson Center 50 cal out to the range again today. After my last trip with it it showed hope of being a very accurate rifle. It didn’t disappoint me one bit. First shot at 50 yds it put one in the bullseye. The next 4 shots were touching the first hole. Shooting a...- mjpchief

So I took the T/C to the range today and was pleasantly surprised with the results. My targets have a 3” bullseye with 1” diamond in the center. The target was set up at 50 yds. Using 50 grs of 3f powder my first shot hit the top of the diamond. Second shot hit the bottom of the diamond. I...- mjpchief

Thanks for the info guys. I haven’t shot this rifle yet but hope to this weekend. I have a T/C Renegade that I built back in the early 90’s. Will have to dig it out and compare the features of the 2 rifles.- mjpchief

Thanks. From info I found on this forum I’m thinking this one was from late ‘60’s to early ‘70’s. Is there any way to figure out who made the barrel. I’m thinking maybe it’s a Sharon.- mjpchief

Just purchased a Thompson Center Cal 50 rifle over the weekend and I am trying to determine approximately what year it was manufactured. It has a 5 digit serial number beginning with 43. There is no “K” in front of the number. It has a couple of proof stamps under the barrel in front of the...- mjpchief

Would anybody know what load to us in this pistol. I’m figuring on maybe 20-25 gr of 3F. -

Boy did I get lucky or what
I was wondering about a chain fire with this thing. At least there is nothing in front of the chambers to splatter the lead. May just load 2 chambers across from each other. -
Boy did I get lucky or what
Barrels are 3”. Looked it up in DGW catalogs do they are priced at $165. The barrels have to be rotated by hand between shots. You would need to be careful how you grip the barrels to rotate. If this thing would fire on rotation you could loose some parts. There are no markings on the gun other... -

Latched onto this today. Basically had it given to me. Never had one and probably will wish I didn’t have this one. Of course it was loaded in all 4 barrels. I had to grease gun the loads out. Luckily not that much of a mess. I will take it out and shoot it tomorrow. .36 caliber and will load it...
