While not interested in a red dot on a black powder gun. My most shot handgun does have one. With my design of mount that uses the rear sight dovetail for mounting. This is by no doubt the easiest gun to make hits with that I have. The red dots are really great.

Very nice looking model, nice find. How did you get the pictures with no background?

When I was a young pup of 74 most everything was still steady. But 5 years later, tend also to just do machine work. Even though ear plugs/muffs were always used just cannot put up with the load noises of gunfire. Can't hear the orders from the spouse and get in trouble too much. Like a few...

Are you holding the pistol in your right hand? I am right handed. About 65 years ago an older friend allowed me to shoot his 45 auto, and he stated hold on to it. That started me on a extremely bad habit of holding on to a handgun to tight for many years. And my shooting skills suffered. My...

As long as your learning you're doing great. This is your first build, and sharing the fun with your girl. What a joy. My wife and I have many times working together, and they are our best memories. Good Luck.

Well, that's a keeper!

Nice job fixing yourself, and also nice video.

5.8 / 3 = 1.9 1/3 scale?

I am not set up for casting. So I buy them already made from this outfit. - The Gun Works Muzzleloading Emporium -

Pictures are required!

Me too, So I quit.

Finally got to fire some shots out of the 1860. Good news, no cap jams but some of the caps were split wide open. They were able to make it to the next station after cocking. I am sure not a fan of the magnum caps as they seem to be so powerful. Had the cylinder with half tresco and half slix...

Pouring the powder down the barrel is not recommended by me. Just seems like it would not work as well.

In the two years I have been a member of this forum I have NOT witnessed the type action or behavior that you are prescribing for buying/selling. The members of this forum have always impressed me with their kindness in helpful information, their skills in building, and just their general...

I have looked at the "Firearms For Sale/ Trade/ Wanted" section and have not found your rules of buying and selling posted. You are the new spokesperson right?

Tom, I believe you should have held your position as the buyer. The seller should have told the jumper he had second choice. And the jumper should have asked for second choice to begin with. I also know of no auctions, do not like what that leads to. I wish you would not have said if you want it...

OK, tend to understand maybe what you are referring to now. All the different modifications that can be dreamed up by man some of them maybe from a stress point may weaken the hammer. And all of us probably have different views on what is acceptable and not to alter. From a lifelong ambition of...

I'm lost, do not know how this applies.

It is a strange thing, by eye you might think that would happen. So much that it was checked when it was being made. The recessed part for the cones is .380 wide and the hammer is .320 wide. So with that gap side to side and knowing the farther away from the pivot point the same amount of...

Thanks, keeps it all shiny and nice while still holding it straight.
