I'm just curious. Is this what the new recruit to the Texas Rangers talked about when issued his new Walker? Did they get rid of their Walkers when the Dragoons came out? Did the Texas Rangers have a person whose job was to modify each Walker for each recruit to meet the above discussed...

Welcome from Ormond Beach

We've dumbed down the ability to get on the web and get to where we want. How many people turn on their 'internet machine', look for the icon they want, click on it, and 'lo and behold', they are where they want to be. They have no idea how the connection is made, where the connection sends...

how was it sent? priority or regular mail? that might make a difference. priority is tracked all the way.

What everyone is apparently forgetting is the following: BLACK POWDER FIREARMS MUST BE SEPARATED BY DATES/PERIODS. When people talk about black powder weapons and make rules, they may be talking about modern day rifles and pistols. Thats why there is 431.3. At least in my opinion. When...

There is still the confusion of 431.3 "antiques (pre 1898) and replicas of antiques". How does that figure into the equation?

I use the maroon to defarb and smooth out the bore. There was a youtube demo by duelist54. Because he had to swab the bore after 2 shots he used the scotch brite about 100 times from top to bottom of bore. After this procedure, he was able to shoot about 10-12 times before running a clean...

I had a brain fart. Reading both at the same time and brain got some wires crossed. oops.

It was time today: time to check the longarms. Took all of them down to the kitchen table since it was a heat index of 114 outside. Checked all with bore scope and most made it through the past 6 months very well. We keep house at 75 and never let the outside in. Used WD40, then bore brush...

IMO: I think each of the three sections need to be considered separately. IMO: BP revolvers cannot be 'concealed' in the current accepted definition of 'concealed carry' (I don't think you can conceal a LeMat or a 1st dragoon; your pants would fall down). I say this because if you consider...

People would be very surprised to learn where you can't carry. The one I like is "you can carry in a restaurant but if that restaurant has a bar, you cannot go in the bar.' That's against the law. (at least in Florida)

T If it is lost then the last item 431.3 says it's ok if it's a muzzleloader made before 1898 or REPLICA and it hasn't been changed to fire cartridges. Put in a claim for a muzzleloader under 431.1. Knock wood: I've shipped 4 muzzleloader revolvers without a problem using USPS online label...

431.3 is what I understand is muzzleloading. I recently sent two BP revolvers using priority mail. I logged into the USPS site, went to mailing and selected regulary priority mail (other type of priority mail requires USPS box), printed label, taped it to box (normal looking box) and dropped...

The last email reply I got from Pietta said they may be starting up production late August or September. this was a few months ago.

welcome from the ormond beach coastline.

IMHO: A great looking muzzleloader will overpower most background snafus. Concentrate on glare from ML and make sure all details of carving, etching, etc. show. Keep background as plain as you can, in keeping with the situation. I guess I am a minimalist.

I guess I am living in wrong place!!! Got to make more trips to north Georgia. If only I knew....even DeeeStantis can't help!!!!!

I use a .376 RB and they shave a thin symmetrical lead ring. Nothing has been done to any of the three cylinders.

I have an 1860 Pietta army .44 cal revolver. I ran 5 rounds through the revolver and cylinder. The nipples have been treated with anti-sieze and hand tightened. The cylinder has engraving. Looking for $255, which includes shipping (priority mail). I have the original box which is a...

I have two triple K belt cylinder holders and three .36 cylinders that fit the pietta 51 and 60 colt revolver. They may fit others but they're the only two .36 piettas I have. One cylinder has a naval scene and two are plain. At least 15 rounds have been shot through them and the nipples have...
