Thanks for the kind remarks. Now in the hunt for a 2nd. Generation 1860 will round cylinder, Navy and a 1849.

Thank you, very interesting information.

How does this pistol differ from any other brass framed navy copy? Or put another way, what makes it a Schneider & Glassick copy?

Can you show the pack side of the holster please

is the entire front sight gone?

I was on my way to the recruit skirmish in Winchester, but a Semi ran me off the road (and kept going). I had to wait for the police and a wrecker so I missed it. A club about an hour away invited me out for a team practice last week.

Revisiting this older thread because I recently had the opportunity to shoot both original Smith and Maynard carbines. I was invited out to a practice range day with a semi local N-SSA club. Some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. One member had an original Smith and...

Waterfowl market hunting would be my guess. This thing certainly isn’t an upland game gun😀

Was able to find the maker and a little history. The markings on the rib read Hapgood - Boston. Also both lock plates are marked Hapgood. Joal Hapgood ran a gun business in Boston Mass. from 1847 to 1864.

The triggers and trigger plate are there, I just didn’t show them clearly. Did a few specs on this gun. Weight: 13.5 lbs. Barrel length: 33 inches Inside bore diameter: left barrel .873 inches, right barrel .865 inches

I will take them Pm to follow

The good news, it was free. The bad news, it came in parts. It came to me just as shown. I think most parts are there, minus some screws. The stock has several cracks, and one barrel has a hole drilled in it, someone probably intended to make a lamp. This thing is huge. I have not weighed it...

Yesterday, with the help of a mentor, I shot my .58 caliber repro Colt special for the first time. No experience with bullets, loads, or the shooter. Whenever I shoot a new gun, or one I have not shot in a long time, I want to shot on paper. We started with .575 minie and 45 grains of 3f. Target...

Picked up this box of .31 cartridges and what was advertised as a tin of caps, actually primers. They came as a package, It was actually the cartridges I wanted. The box seems very well preserved. Real, or reproduction?

in the civil war, the us did not issue a cap pouch for pistols. Pistol cartridges were issued in six round paper packets and each packet also contained a paper tube of six (some say seven) caps. These packets were carried in the pistol cartridge box. His issue belt also carried a carbine...

These would be 2nd. Gen guns right?

I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to respond. As I said I have never had a muzzleloading shotgun before, so the detailed responses were greatly appreciated. I will be ordering from TOW tomorrow.

Thank you for your very informative post. So if I understand correctly, if I use overpowder cards I don’t need wadding? Or does the card go over the wadding?
