I'm not home now and cannot measure everything but they say the flexible cable is 36 inches. That’s not the part that goes down the barrel. I don’t know how long that is but I was able to get it all the way down the Pedersoli frontier rifle with a 39 inch barrel.

I’ve used the lighted arrow nock with good results. However, I’ve recently acquired the Teslong bore scope. It’s the best $50 I’ve ever spent. It works as advertised. So you might think your bore is clean till you look at it with a bore scope...

I have a Lyman electric pot that holds 20 pounds of lead. It's served me well for almost 40 years.

I had the same problem on my revolvers as well my friends’ guns. We all switched to Slix-Shot nipples and our problems were solved.

Maybe I got hold of a couple of lemons.

I got a Colt 2nd Generation in the 1860 Army back in 1981. I bought it to shoot and had a lot of trouble with it. The loading lever latch fell out and a gunsmith silver soldered it back in for me so it would never come out. He did such a great job you could never tell it was soldered...

That hurts just looking at it.

My ex-wives never complained about me until I asked them to talk with a french accent and put on a maid's outfit. I never could figure out why they got upset about that. Oh well, I have my guns to keep me warm:-)

I've done exactly that for the Remington and Colt. However, there isn't much to play with on the LeMat. I just measured the thickness of the wall between the chambers on all three of my revolvers: LeMat ---------.030" Colt -----------.0545" Remington ---.062" As you can see, the wall...

I dare you to call your local market and ask them if they have boneless watermelon. I double-dog triple dare you with a pinky-swear.

I don’t get my fryers out of the barnyard. I buy boneless chicken at the supermarket now. So maybe it’s better to buy the best watermelon in the produce section than to risk a butt load of rock salt. Isn’t it marvelous what can be accomplished with modern food processing technology?

I bought a Navy Arms LeMat when it first came out. Here's my experience with it. After the bugs are worked out, it's a fantastic revolver. The literature that came with it and all the gun writers stated to use .451 round ball. I did that and the loading lever would bend on about the third...

in a modern shotgun shell you are restricted by volume of the amount of rock salt. I wonder what it would be like in a muzzle loader when the rock salt is loaded by the same weight as the lead shot. The salt column as opposed to a shot column would be longer.

One of my favorite scenes in this classic movie...

Now I'm beginning to wonder. Would one still get a better pattern with a "Skychief" load? And, again, would one load the salt by volume or by weight? Still asking for a friend.

From the Star Gazette of Elmira, NY, July 31, 1943.

We've all heard about the farmer who loaded his shotgun with sodium chloride to prevent the pervicacious, pilfering, precocious plunders or the patch from absconding with the delectable watermelon (citrullus lanatus) but is this true or urban legend? In the modern world, misdemeanor offences...

I got this screw driver set for the Colt SAA. It turns out that the bits fit screws on all my C&B revolvers, muskets, single shot percussion, flintlock pistols, rifles and shotguns. BROWNELLS COLT SINGLE ACTION SCREWDRIVER | Brownells
