    Flintlock porn

    Hmmm....If that is what it is then I'm definitely sorry I posted that frame. I can't say I like the thought of looking straight down someone's flash hole.

    What could that mysterious orb emitted from the pan flash be?

    Excessive Caliber Syndrome (ECS)

    Diagnosis is definitely ECS, but luckily not matched with an ECBS diagnosis - Excessive Coffee Brand Syndrome.

    Wondering how many others have a bad - or worse - case of ECS.

    For anyone considering an Indian manufactured Flintlock

    This discussion is both enjoyable and hilarious in the degree of ignorance as arguments are made as if the products made in India are from a true organized industry, comparable in any way to historical weapons manufacturing, or even approach American manufacturing standards. Here's your India...

    For anyone considering an Indian manufactured Flintlock

    Isn't that one of the definitions of an opinion? Not sure an online forum would be very interesting without them. Just a bunch of folks spouting facts - boring.

    For anyone considering an Indian manufactured Flintlock

    I buy and shoot arms, I don't build, so I can't speak as to the options or quality of any particular manufacturer or product. However, in relation to the point of this post I can say that when life and limb are at risk and there are options, I would spend more on a quality and safety-verified...

    For anyone considering an Indian manufactured Flintlock

    My point is in relation to the legal and liability-related elements of the previous posts not the validity of proofing or old guns. If you want to question the validity of proofing barrels in today's day and age that's your choice. No amount of proofing replaces or protects from stupidity or...

    For anyone considering an Indian manufactured Flintlock

    I get such a kick out of reading these and all the legal, manufacturing, and import regulation expert opinions that are offered. But like so many opinions offered in this world, none have an actual legal foundation or are supported by actual data. Yet all experts are absolute in the knowledge...

    I joined the dry ball club today

    Club or rite of passage? I think the latter, so congratulations.

    Any other heretics out there that oil their barrels?

    Excellent article. Surprising to see Ballistol in the lowest category given how much it is touted. Obviously, all would protect to a larger and longer extent in an indoor controlled environment, but 24 hours before corrosion starts to show? Very surprising to see that list of products in the...

    Ballistol

    Ballistol - love the stuff, hate the smell, and stopped using it when it became overpriced.

    Any other heretics out there that oil their barrels?

    I've been cleaning guns for more years than I care to count and when I got into BP quite a few years ago I decided to lubricate with the same products and methods I've used successfully on many cartridge guns. I take care of my firearms and never had a spot of rust due to improper cleaning or...

    Pietta revolver parts on ebay

    Those all sound like smart sellers taking full advance of a time when buyers will pay just about any price for firearms and related components. Happens on this forum too where sellers list ridiculous prices and people pay. The question is whether folks paying a 35% premium for a part they need...

    Ditch The Patch Knife

    I use scissors also and they work fine and are convenient. If concerned about the historical perspective, scissors did exist at the time ;)

    Thinking about getting my first cap and ball revolver.

    Yep, you were right and I was wrong as I admitted. I understand that is not enough for some folks and now that you made the obvious and necessary point and you have certainly put me in my place for my historical inaccuracy. The world can, thankfully, now continue spinning and you've done this...

    Thinking about getting my first cap and ball revolver.

    Can't argue with facts. Especially when they are correct ;) Definitely in agreement that any Goon is better than no Goon and the rest is academic. I do understand that the Uberti 3rd model is not representative of an actual model with stock cutouts and the older style loading level latch. By...

    Thinking about getting my first cap and ball revolver.

    A $500 budget basically opens many options for you. My recommendation is - 1) Buy Uberti - many will argue over a quality difference but Uberti has the edge and you can't argue with the aesthetics given the fact that Uberti hides the ugly Black Powder disclaimers whereas Pietta puts them...
