I purchased 7K of them a few years back when the shortage was starting. I lucked into a K of Remingtons, old stock from an estate, and have a supply of CCIs, I still find the 1075s reliable on all my colts and Remingtons and use them regularly.

Well that’s a novelty, I too own and shoot just about every model of percussion revolver made today, and several of them have conversion cylinders including one 1851 Navy , which I’ve gone to great lengths to load and shoot the 38Long Colt cartridge in. I also have the cattleman in dual...

They work well indeed. There is a YouTube video on how to repair the Flashhole when it eventually erodes to too large a diameter, or to prevent that. A 1/8” pop rivet is fitted to the hole.

He mentioned covering the flash hole with paper. I too use 2F in mine but wonder if better accuracy and performance could be had with 3f, more velocity perhaps.

Growing up on the farm in the 40’s the boys Sunday job was to select the chicken or chickens. Pullets or older hens, for Sunday dinner. Remove the heads, dip the bird in boiling water and pluck. It wasn’t the most pleasant of chores.

It’s my understanding that black powder fouling has no corrosive elements. The corrosion is moisture attracted by blacks fouling soot as it is hygroscopic in nature. I’ve left revolvers for days into a week with no problem, the soot was heavily mixed with lubricants. Rust occurs after cleaning...

Beat me to it. Walt53, glad you cleared that up. For 20 odd years wife and I wintered in Southwest Florida. It wasn’t uncommon to see flocks of Robins, a hundred or more birds,pecking along the road way in my suburban area.

If I could find a chuck roast for $2 a pound, I’d stock my freezer and have Sunday Pot Roast for the next 52 Sundays😁

I doubt a collection agency could collect what amounts to a fine against a private citizen without a court intervention of some sort. I could be wrong of course, I frequently am, just ask my bride of 60 years!!😁

There is a You Tube Video called Acorn to Arabella. Massachusetts man building a large wood sail boat. In a few episodes he’s casting a 22 ton keel. He and his volunteers cut very large chunks of lead using chain saws. Chain saws, even the electric or battery operated are very efficient for this.

Look at bottom of your reply. Once posted. Three little dots lower left select edit. Erase everything then select save. Leave everyone saying “ what the hey was that”. 😁

Welcome from Rhode Islamd MM3 here. Only a few miles from the piers that my destroyer was tied to. 60 to 64.

No dust. The sawn chips are as big as the gullet of the saw blade. With a chain saw the curls of lead are easily raked up and retrieved.

I’d bet that would work, but to keep it from just reforming into one lump one would probably have to move it around a bit.

I’ve used various ways. A saws all works well with a blade designed for tree limbs. My wood shop band saw, but that leaves a lot of chips to clean up. Had a large number of plumber ingots that would not fit my small Lee pot. I used a propane torch to melt them into the pot. Any hand saw that...

At 82 years of age I have never nor will I ever put anything sweet in my grits.

Used Williams sights for years on hunting rifles and devices that attach to ones eye glasses that create the same effect. Cataracts now make those difficult to use. They seem to create a blurry picture around the edges of the picture.

Hi-Lux Optics sells a line of Malcom Scopes for civil war era rifles. Thin long tubes, that are basically telescopes adapted to mount on a rifle. I’m looking in to installing one on my Sharps and 1873 Winchester. The Malcom Scopes dates back to 1855.

How would they collect that pray tell. I’ve bought numerous gun, gun related transactions thru them. I don’t however use their credit system nor keep funds in any of their accounts. They are simply an internet link for purchases made against my debit or credit cards. Convenient for me, so...
