If you really think about…. Shoot from a bagged rest. Place your support hand under the toe/ butt area of the stock. By squeezing or relaxing your fist under the toe, you can raise or lower the muzzle for elevation. Wind age is done on the bag. Mount the rifle properly, cheek weld, eye...

Beautiful looking. I never knew Pedersoli even made those. :thumb:

Azmntmn, Yes, Fess Parker was in a remake of the movie Smokey. It was in the early to mid 60’s. I can’t think of who was in the original movie…:dunno:

We sure could use another Fess Parker. :thumb:

Beautiful horn ! What is there not to like ? :thumb:

I definitely would pass on this revolver. There is just an oddness to it overall. As mentioned, the sight, rammer, brass frame and the finish looks not quite right. My revolvers from 1959 and 1960’s have been fired a lot, but they don’t look like that one. Pass.

Why do you brush your teeth with a tooth brush ? :dunno:

I bent my piece of brass to fit the curvature of the end of the patch box lid. Fifteen minutes tops from heat to final form. Piece of cake. And a few sips of coffee in between… :cool:

Beautiful, straight forward blade design. It’s hard to tell by the photo, but is that a Schrade ?

Great job ! Stunning wood ! :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Beautiful rifle ! Start out with a .440 ball, pillow ticking for patches and a good lube. Stack all that over FFFG black powder. Start your charges around 45-50 grains of powder. Increase the charge 5 grains at a time until you find what the rifle likes. Consider getting a range rod for...

Try the browning solution on the underside of the barrel without removing the bluing. See how that works out for you.

Was there a hazmat fee ?

I might consider shoving a snug fitting dowel down the barrel. Line that up so the bore is hopefully parallel to the table surface and perpendicular to the drill or tap bit.:cool:

All I can say is that I have Second Generation 1860 Army in stainless steel. It’s unfired, but the barrel wedge number does not match the rest of the revolver. That’s small potatoes.

You can probably put a dab of epoxy into the hole and press the front sight into it. Let it cure then clean up any epoxy that might have expanded into the bore. Or, shove a cork or something into the bore, then epoxy the sight. Let it cure and remove the cork and clean up what’s needed.

I forgot…. Use a good carbide tipped cutter and don’t overheat the bit.

For the router bit, I think I would go with maybe a 1/4” rounded flute bit. That way there would be minimal contact and less chance of the back end of the flat bottom bit of digging in as the cutter climbs up the rails. It would be more like a pin router. You would get the proper depth or...

I think if your profile is correct, the two rails could be used for the bottom of the channel…maybe. Now, an attempt at making sense. Screw the rails to a long bottom piece of wood, making a long U shaped jig. Place the stock blank into the jig and secure it. Make sure you line up the...

After firing about a bazillion cartridge rounds, and being paid to do so, I can honestly say I have had less than a handful of misfires. Now, for the question of carrying. As has been mentioned, on a ranch or farm setting, hunting etc, that might not pose a problem. Unless there is some...
