    Don't Give Up on the Kids!

    Had the chance to take one of my brothers in law and his 1st Cousin out to shoot. Both under 18. Generationally we are in a weird place where I am between an older brother and a younger uncle. The boys were excited to shoot my modern guns before the trip. They shot all sorts of semi-auto army...

    FOR SALE Reproduction Armi Sport 1861 Springfield

    You're welcome. Great packing job, mail managed to mangle the box but the gun was completely fine Did you have work done on the trigger? Much smoother and lighter than 2 other armi sports I've shot.

    How often do you shoot?

    About once a month on account of work and family obligations. My shooting these days invariably involves one or more teenage brother-in-law or cousin or family friend's kids tagging along. Range trips for me are an all day affair. Usually pistols in the morning, lunch, some shotgun if anyone is...

    Tips for a Casting Newby?

    Thank you all for the advice. I was able to cancel the order on the 10lb pot before it shipped and got the 20lb. I've also ordered a thermometer. Once all my equipment is in I will share my results. My wife and my wallet will be happy in the long run.

    What happened to Lyman Muzzleloaders?

    That's the product of runaway inflation, not rising wealth. You might get $20 an hour at a fast food joint, but now a McDonalds meal costs $10+. Adjusted for inflation and they're doing worse than a kid making $5 an hour a few decades ago.

    CLOSED ASM Walker Wedge Pin

    Acquired an ASM Walker. Previous owner has an undersized wedge installed shimmed with a cotter pin. A less than ideal situation, but I can't find the part online anywhere. Anyone who lists ASM parts has them out of stock and an Uberti wedge is too small. Does anyone have a spare, or a lead on...

    Tips for a Casting Newby?

    I recently made the decision to start casting my own balls and minies. Looking for any and all advice to help a first timer get started. I ordered a Lee 10lb lead melter and Lee molds for various roundballs and .575 minies. Aside from lead not even sure what other equipment I really need or...

    What happened to Lyman Muzzleloaders?

    That's absolutely true, but I'm speaking in particular of Toyota's system that goes beyond the usual Japanese conglomerate approach. After the 3/11 disaster shut down production at several main plants, Toyota overhauled its supply chain management. They now actively track and anticipate...

    What happened to Lyman Muzzleloaders?

    Just in time manufacturing is the main culprit. Most industries are running far to lean on their inventory of materials, with only enough kept on hand to cover needs until the next shipment arrives. They're all trying to copy Toyota, but failing to understand two huge parts of the Toyota model's...

    Larry Krasner is a menace to society. Let's pray his upcoming impeachment trial before the State Senate goes well this month.

    What happened to Lyman Muzzleloaders?

    The fact that so many people believe that case involved regular "hot coffee" like you'd get at a diner is an example of how crooked the media was even back then, and how easy it is for big corporations to mislead the public. The food and beverage industry spent millions to push the narrative...

    What’s Your Favorite Long Gun that You own.

    Without a doubt my favorite rifle is a cheap Spanish-made .45 cal Traditions percussion rifle my mother bought me for my 16th birthday. That gun has put more meat on my table than any other. She's ugly, especially that weird two piece stock. But she goes bang every time and I've never heard a...

    Crisco over the chambers, pros and cons

    Pros: None, it's an ineffective way to lubricate the barrel dreamed up when large numbers of people "rediscovered" percussion pistol shooting in the 60s and 70s thanks to the (then) cheap Italian imports by people who knew what chainfires were but had no idea what was causing them. Cons: Makes...

    WANTED Wedge Pin for ASM "Colt Walker" reproduction

    I picked up a cheap ASM walker listed as a "parts" gun to see if I could get it running. The only problem is the original wedge is missing and appears to have been replaced by an Uberti part which is far too narrow. I'm making it work with a cotter pin shim for now but I would like to find a...
