    Really? Is it in your nature to be so rude?

    .36 Colt Navy that powerful??????

    I had something similar happen to me. In the middle of nowhere AZ. Walking back to my truck after a day of prospecting. Couple of meth head looking guys sitting in the bed of their truck about fifty feet away. One jumps off and starts over to me in that "I'm a *******" kind of stride. It was...

    Good for you. Once you have one, you will never want to sell it off.

    .36 Colt Navy that powerful??????

    I have heard from several sources that they are comparable to .38S&W, especially when loaded with conical bullets. They have caused their fair share of dirt naps. As I'm sure you know, they were coveted by troops on both sides of the war between the states and at least tens of thousands of them...

    Jeddidiah may be a bit too free about giving his opinion too quickly. That said, these days, everywhere has the potential to become a high crime area.

    Those who read and those who study history. Besides, I was referring to the principle of the quote. It doesn't matter who said it. Besides, even though he was a *******, he knew something about a difficult fight what with the invasion of the nazis and stopping them at the Volga. I believe the...

    Reminds me of what Kruschev said: Try to avoid fighting as much as you can. But if you have to fight, give it everything you have. I have to agree.

    Pietta 1858 With Target Sights

    I own a Pietta that was made in 1986. Someone let it rust a bit, some in the bore and a few of the chambers. Some idiot used what I suspect to be a hammer to try to drive the cylinder pin out and battered the frame up something fierce. The gun looks like hell to be frank about it. My uncle got...

    Controversial question. Short rodding a patched ball.

    BP doesn't burn like progressive powders. Unlike progressive burning powder, it is packed into the breech area. It burns from the back towards the front simular to a solid rocket motor. It gets to the obstruction and overwhelms that part of the barrel.

    Yeah, no way in Phoenix that was a short start.

    Controversial question. Short rodding a patched ball.

    Well said. Personally, I usually get between six to eight shots before I have to swab it out. After the first swabbing I usually have to do it every three or four shots. I find rubbing alcohol works well. Usually dries out quickly in a warm barrel.

    Timing is everything in the greater Phoenix area.

    Controversial question. Short rodding a patched ball.

    Let me start by saying I have not read any other response to this question on this thread. It is crucial that you don't short start a ball/bullet and shoot. I was personally present when my Uncle did exactly that and opened up an octagon barrel about five inches back from the muzzle. It was a...

    What Remington 1858 to Buy?

    Which ever one you get, consider a target model with an adjustable rear sight. I have an old and banged up Pietta target model. It has to be the most accurate CB pistol Ive ever owned.

    Did Panther Primitives go out of business?

    A pity they could not sell the biz. Can't find anyone to work. I will be 60 in December. I have people/companies begging me to come to work for them because it's only the older generations that will show up and get the job done.
