Hey man, I agree, but this company is also investing in me by paying for quite a bit of education that i refuse to take out a loan for at this point in my life...a little bull seems like a pretty good deal to me in the long run...but this is off topic

This pistol is more than well used and has been for several years by now. I am a god damn quick and speedy hip shot with it, excuse my language...at 10 yards, at least... but i know it can reach out to 25 yds like my other pistols do... honestly id have more bargaining power at this point in...

I am the only owner...but i have worked at places where the supervisor constantly says that looks good and god damn it work faster...in fact i work at a place like that now... and its in skilled labor...so i am probably one of those customers who suffered at the hands of that kind of...

It was bought straight from pietta

Would a simple crowning job fix something that far off, or would i actually need to cut the muzzle a 16th" shorter, to. Square it up and recrown? It seems pretty far off to me as it is now...

It looks fine from the side profile, but an error of a 64th or 32nd is not something my eyes could distinguish...

My thought is the barrel blank was drilled, and then cut to length, which was not square. The reason i think so is that this barrel is offered in lengths from 12" down to 4 3/4", and they are likely just cut down from a 12" blank after drilling.not cutting the muzzle to square would definitely...

Well it has always hit minute of squirrel head to 8 yards. And have killed a few in the past with it, but even as a pistol, i still think its capable of farther. At 25 yards the groups are just minute of deer vitals....and I am much more capable of better accuracy at that range with a handgun...

I do have a theory on what went wrong, but in the interest of gaining other perspectives, i dont want to state it and bias other peoples opinion...my theory could be wrong...

Im talking about the 7 o clock to midnight of the muzzle. Its so out of round, its practically oval...i don't even know how something like this could be drilled...how does something like this even happen at the factory. I have never seen a drill capable of drilling an oval!...i need to know what...

I was implying heavily forested as the original old growth of that era. Lots of areas near forts were of course burned and cleared, but what i meant as the wind not being much of a factor was that, when I living in the Eastern mountains, with their knobby hills and twisted valleys, the...

Man, talk about hunting like a bowhunter! Awareness of the landscape and cover in your surroundings, a logical stalk, taking advantage of the cover you had, and adjusting your position to get a better angle and even adapting to the situation when things went wrong, to the point of even leaning...

I think you're right, i have read that as the frontier moved westward, and the deer and elk and buffalo throughout places like virginia/ west v, kentucky, north carolina, indiana became hunted out, the larger bores became less common, as the small bores were more economical on lead, powder, and...

I would say the one in ten guy who brought his squirrel rifle in that era, was an asset to the militia. Simon Girty, pulled off a 300 yd shot on, i believe, a british officer, from the walls of a fort which was isolated and starving for months, prior to becoming a traitor and siding with the...

There really aren't any crosswinds in heavily forested mountains to worry about. Even today, i never even had to deal with that effect while shooting until i moved west of the Mississippi. Where at longer range, out here it really does matter...as far as the caliber size, a hole through the...

Well, it served the indians pretty well. Out here they chose bows over guns. The only reason the U.S. ever won, was, A, they had more people, even though one indian quickly outfought 5-10 whites, and B, the first repeating rifles and revolvers were invented....with respect to A and the indians...

I agree 100%. In fact, in the book, there was a lot of anticipation of the dreaded british bayonet charge, and some considerable practice and rehearsal by the men at parrying bayonet thrusts, and defensive maneuvers after parrying... i dont recall much mention of the men themselves having...

I once read a book about a 14 year old boy, who like all the other male settlers in that area, marched from a cabin in the backwoods, with what amounted to his family gun, a gifted tomahawk, and a sack of food....to join that fight. i know smoothbores were extremely common for these families...

Now, i found this...not too bad, in fact, i like it...if i could find a small one...

Well, with a little file work...i mean i may not get this particular sight. It is just the solid brass that i am considering...i know that brass base would look pretty dovetailed into the black surface of the barrel. Not sure about the blade and the view from other angles...
