For years I have been working towards the goal of collecting and shooting the primary US military long and side arms issued/used in major American conflicts. Getting down below 1870s brought me deeper into me into black powder arms. I just filled a major gap with the purchase of a Mississippi...

I like to have a nice padded case for each of my guns but have not found a version of the standard handgun zippered case big enough for my Walker. What do you use?

If it works for Gordon Gekko, it works for me.

Nothing wrong with an uncompromising approach focused on safety and personal property protection, just as there is nothing wrong with an uncompromising attitude on what it takes to maximize pride of ownership and a daily experience with those things we enjoy most. While I, too, have them...

On the wall always for me to enjoy and right next to the loaded scotch cabinet. Having your battery-powered tools fully charged and accessible is more dangerous.

The best-packed rifle I received (that was not in a specialty wood crate) was for a very heavy unmentionable Sharps wrapped in bubble wrap, put in your average padded zippered rifle case, tightly wrapped, and placed in a good box.

Thanks for the great perspectives from all. Shilohs are lovely, but tough to justify the cost of a Shiloh for a limited shooter, and a replica that requires additional cost to modify to work right kind of defeats the purpose. Looks like I'm better off looking to fill other gaps in the...

My guess is that even the biggest, strongest, most docile, dumb, wonderful dogs we've had that were not capable of harming a fly, envision themselves as fierce bear slayers when they dream.

Hmmm. Definitely would be nice to resize and lube, but if I focus just on lubing your suggestion makes me wonder if I can 3D print a die and punch that can fit in the lubrisizer. Lubrisizer does not get hot enough to melt a plastic die and punch so the printed die would not melt and may be...

I reload everything I shoot and pour all my bullets and balls but I've always been on the quest to make the process as painless and fast as possible. Less bench work, more shooting. I just pored a batch of about 175 Minies and it's now time for lubing. Pure drudgery - at least for me. I've...

Welcome fellow Tallyman.

I've never been interested in purchasing a custom rifle/musket mostly because they don't pass my personal cost/value/enjoyment scale threshold. When I buy expensive arms they are generally historic or investments. However, I can appreciate true craftsmanship when I see it and I find no fault in...

Enjoying the read, but surprised at the ignorance of modern retailing. You want excellent customer service and highly knowledgeable, available, and skilled sales staff, but want to pay the lowest price. You want what you consider to be your deserved discounts on every product you buy but rail...

Things changed long ago. Scammers don't deposit checks into their personal accounts and they don't live in the locality where the check was deposited or at the address of the account. You send money to a scammer in any form and it goes into an account created online with a stolen ID and the...

Beautiful rifle with a great price and a well-deserved bump. May want to add Pedersoli's designation as the Pennsylvania so that folks looking for that specific model may find it easier.

Definitely sage advice, but I have to admit that I have Lee molds that have 10's of years and many thousands of rounds cast with no bent handles or problems with alignment as a result of tapping one side or the other of the block for round balls or other shapes that do not have a hollow cone.

I use a number of lee molds and have found the following works for me - Clean new molds well and completely on all sides with isopropyl Season with a candle just before pouring - the candle quickly creates a thick soot layer across and in all sections of each side and you can cast all night...

I'm usually shooting multiple firearms for 2-3 hours. So 30/40 plus one cigar.

I've read much about the O ring mod for Sharps rifles and how it reduces fowling, increases accuracy, is needed on all replica Sharps rifles due to a design that allows the use of the brass case in lieu of a paper cartridge, and eliminates what Mike Beliveau calls the "sheet of flame" that...
