I have purchased several firearms via this forum and have never had a problem. Every sale was professionally handled. The owner of the forum does require the screen name and date shown by the firearm for sale and that does add a level of trust. I don't find that an oppressive requirement. Many...

Thank you, I’ll look into those resources.

No suggestions for reference material? I appreciate smoothshooter’s reply but was surprised that no one suggested any reference material (like books or websites). Oh well, for those who might be looking for something along those lines I purchased “American Percussion Revolvers” by Frank M...

I've purchased a good number of replicas since joining this forum but want to start getting some originals but my knowledge is basically nil. Any good reference material that anyone would suggest? I've done some searching on the Net and there are some very interesting examples out there but I...

Sweet!

I haven’t entered into this thread too much but I have to some extent. Quite frankly I don’t care what I am labeled be it a Karen or whatever. I believe what I believe and if I don’t stand up for it strongly, then I’m not standing up at all. I belong to a BMW Z4 forum based in the UK. I have...

I can see that changing before too long. We surely need more reasons to make gun enthusiasts felons!!

You are doing just what they want you to do. Resistance not compliance is the answer. They never stop, when they get what they say they want, suddenly they want more.

Very interesting, makes sense!

Never thought of that but so true.

I may have said this here before but this post brings it to mind. I used to belong to the Norton Motorcycle Owners Club, they had a newsletter that was published occasionally and there was a statement on torque settings, here it is: "Tighten it until it strips, then back off a quarter turn."...

IMO investing in any type of firearm is a bit of a crap shoot. Of course classic and unobtainium "traditional" (and original BP) firearms are worth many times more than what they originally sold for and even more than what they sold for only several years ago. That goes without saying, that is...

Now go shoot it and clean again. Enjoy.

Sorry but how many people really "Need" a percussion revolver, seriously? Want and need are two different things. I need food, clothing and shelter, at least that is what they told me in grade school...I want a _________________ (fill in the blank)...I'd need more blanks!

Welcome aboard. I guarantee you that this purchase will not be your last BP firearm. Seems like every forum that I join costs me money! This is by far one of the best, if not the best, forum that I belong to. Enjoy but hold on to your wallet!

Looks good brother!

When applying by hand you generally get a rather thin coat. But, as I and others have posted in this thread, a heavy coat or series of coats (there was a post where it was sprayed on then once tacky more coats were sprayed on) can and have been applied. I have never had what you describe as “a...

Regarding the question in the title of the post. I think excellent work only enhances the firearm. Amateurish work not only detracts from the overall look but lowers the value as well IMO. I had an instructor when I was taking jewelry making and metal smithing classes who when commenting on...

That’s a good story. Was not like everyone else’s, too shiny would reflect light in combat or no reason, just because he said so?
