Its pretty hard to find and hire good people. I always had the best luck with UPS and USPS simply because they were old drivers on the route for more than 20 years and knew everyone on their routes. Both the UPS and USPS drivers had hearts of gold and would go out of their way to take care of...

We shipped to a customer and it got to be quite late on delivery. We worked on tracking with them and found out our package got chewed up in a sorting machine in the recipients city, right before intended delivery. So they shipped the package and contents to their "lost" facility which is in...

Oh, thats pretty good, have to keep it dry. I usually keep mine next to open bags containing linseed oil-soaked rags that I use to rub down stocks. It might be too damp there so i'll try your way. Thanks!

Im interested but could you explain a little more? Are you the first owner? If not, do you know the history and its date? Does it have its box and paperwork, any tools, even receipt as well? Any extras included? Have you made any mods or repairs? Any issues?

AH, great idea but there is no stock of BP items in my area now.

The orig post here is 10 years old! I wonder if he ever found a shooting partner. Anyway Im from the OC/RC area and can be someones huckleberry at times.

Im ambidextrous but more comfortable shooting left handed because my dad taught me that way when i was 8 years old and it stuck. I never owned a left hand gun. Before i buy my intended rifle, T/C Hawken, can I comfortably look around the right hand lock to see clearly down the barrel and through...

Good lord.....yes ok I know what that is now, I think i have only one gun with a barrel destroyed by the writings. I just didnt know it was referred to that way. And as we're learning, they werent even satisfied with that, now they want to take the whole thing. Thats another thread so I wont...

I wish it were a .50, im looking. But as a novice my question is, whats "pre-warning?"

Ok i meant it as a half-joke and the point was that regardless of the pan used, no wife would freely allow cooking of parts in her kitchen, stove or oven. There will be words--- even if she was the one who did it! Sure, fine, get a dedicated parts pot at a thrift store but still stay low about...

Just saying, for all these kinds of jobs including cosmoline, i put the parts into a fry pan with water and them them simmer 5-6min. Not only will apologizing to your wife do no good at all, the apology might be the last words ever spoken to her so learn stealth or dont do it.

Hawken, Supply and demand *IS* the factor in an item not dependent on international shipping (imports) for the whole or any part of itself right now. When imported items began drying up at the onset of covid because airplanes stopped (and coinciding with the riot-driven demand) shops (and/or...

Ok but what do people expect now since prices have doubled in the past year? Yes, for $200 OK, but with no change in quality and shops charging $400 plus i think a lot is expected. Hard to say anything since its all covid pricing which means that shipping costs are excessive right now. When...

I attest to that. Im looking for a Uberti 1858 5.5 for some time now and on another forum I was offered several older pieces that were obviously not up to the mark and were being dumped as solid examples.

Id have to see it up close. Some guns look like goners but clean up well. 0000 steel wool and oil or just a copper penny will clean up the barrel, and the trigger and lock and wood will clean up too, so its just down to the bore. Get the price down and go for it. Clean up the bore best you can...

Would you mind talking a bit more about the rifle for novices? Is this a GRRW rifle? Was it made in the 70s? Who made the lock? Whatever you could say about it would be good education for people.

I saw one like this in a shop decades ago and couldnt imagine why anyone would care. After becoming older, i remembered it and wish I had it. Would you consider making one for me?

Sure is a pretty stock, nicest ive seen in ages. Hope the new owner enjoys it!

There is a hilarious YT video in which the guy tried and failed with a grease gun, so he bought a bigger gun and failed. Then he bought a humongous grease gun, various fittings and, who knows, maybe built 60,000lbs of pressure behind the ball and it blew out with a ton of grease behind it and if...

Sorry, my bad, i only saw the "mustard bottle" cap at the top of the linked page, not the other metal ones.
