    Real black powder

    Commiefornia, guess I shouldn't be surprised but, how ridiculous!

    Can anyone supply a list of states where a BP gun must go to an FFL holder?

    I have searched the internet and have not found that. A list, preferably a .gov link, would be appreciated.

    Polishing fine details on brass hardware

    Personally I just fold some 400 grit paper and use the knife edge you have formed to get in tight places. You can go to 600 if needed but then a quick pass on a loose muslin wheel charged with tripoli should do the trick...at least to the naked eye. Jewelry supply houses have brushes that you...

    Fixed sights..? If those are photo of your ROA, it has adjustable sights my friend.

    Oops I did it again

    Conventional firearms, cars, motorcycles, ammo, nonessential odds and ends from a local auction site, I have sworn these off over the years and still fall now and again. I'm getting too old to ever be able to use what I have foolishly stored up. I need to use what value remains of our doomed...

    Ballistol.............

    I’m surprised at your comment if you actually did watch the video. This man is very thorough and as scientific as a non-scientist can be. He is also very innovative on the jigs and contraptions he comes up with for testing. If you haven’t watched it you really should.

    Ballistol.............

    "Project Farm", a YouTube channel, does excellent comparisons on many items and products...Sorry to say, Ballistol did not fare too well against its competition. I do use it in both spray and non-spray, in fact I bought a gallon of it from a link supplied on this forum. I will not abandon it...

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    Agree but I appreciate that about our moderators, allowing the conversation to develop and evolve as it does in face to face conversation in "real life".

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    It is a fact that Charles Manson never personally murdered anyone. If you tell someone to go commit a crime and they do so, should you be charged for the crime that person committed? He was insane to be sure, I have watched many of his interviews, but should he have been sentenced to life in...

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    I respect your history but why would you not carry a modern handgun if you indeed have that option?

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    I think we all know what he meant by the term "range toys". Not that BP handguns are not to be respected as dangerous weapons capable of killing but that they generally don't take the place of modern handguns and the uses ascribed to modern firearms. But, that they are generally used for...

    What kind of stuff do you all read?

    Interesting question. Preferences have changed over the years. In my 20's I read much H.P. Lovecraft and authors who contributed to the Cthulhu Mythos...basically horror. I love short stories. One of my favorite short story genres are deal with the Devil stories. Other short story horror...

    New to black powder shooting

    I’m a new convert too…but much past college age. Get what you like but remember that there are many “extras” that come with muzzle loaders. It’s not like picking up a new gun and a box of cartridges and you are good to go. That was probably my biggest lesson and you will probably end up spending...

    Ruger Old Army

    Well that will be a ”baptism by fire” quite literally.

    SOLD Colt .32 Pocket Pistol

    Look at the photo looking directly down on the trigger. Some pretty deep file marks are evident. I’d be willing to bet that a previous owner ‘modded” this revolver.

    FOR SALE Sterling Silver & Ebony Dagger Pendant (Jewelry)

    Maybe I should put this in "Edged Weapons"? Anyway not much of my metalwork could apply to our forum but I thought this piece might be allowed. If not, Mods please remove. Sterling silver and ebony Dagger pendant. Handmade by me. No cast parts all hand fabricated. Weight, 25.4 grams (mostly...

    Rasps For Gun Making

    I agree with respawn on the quality and relative reasonable price of Narex rasps. However I would be cautious buying used rasps or files, most people don’t store them correctly and thus they are dulled. Just like you look at the edge of a knife blade, if you see light reflecting off of the...

    How do you store your stuff?

    Well my own mother has called me a hoarder…That is why I thumbed up comfortably _numb’s answer “pile”, I can relate. I surely don’t want to post details on a public forum but I will say that I have some, what I refer to as “sacrifical“ firearms hanging around. The idea behind that is that the...
