    LeMat Revolver

    I have one, the cavalry model. I don't think they make the other models, or I just haven't seen any. I really like it: 1. nine shots better than six 2. accurate at 30 to 40 feet off-hand 3. loading lever is a nuisance, but I carry a small pliers to tighten 'clip'. 4. the shotgun barrel is...

    Traditions 1858 Army Revolver - Nipples no longer fitting in cylinder

    There are several threads about this. I had an issue where I put in 4 nipples and the 5th wouldn't screw in. Turned out that the last two nipples had a specific place to go due to the manufacturer building the cylinder erroneously or something. Once I determined which nipples went with the...

    Visiting Chattanooga, TN

    My wife and I are going to Chattanooga, TN and Blue Ridge, GA towards the end of June for 47 anniversary. Are there any muzzleloading stores in those vicinities as we are both looking to better our collection of short and long arms. Thanks.

    Traditions Blunderbuss Kit?

    My wife and I got the kit in flintlock version. It was fun to build and more fun to shoot. We go to a range and the range officer always stops by to watch. We use a 17 yard target, point the "blunderbuss" with the top of the funnel at the top of the paper target and fire. Usually always hits...

    Hearing protection

    I graduated to 27db hearing muffs from walker after trying cheaper walkers. I take my hearing aids off when I shoot. I've been wearing hearing aids for 12 years and my tinnitus has gone way down so I am happy. The instructions said that the aids do have a noise reduction but it's so slow...

    Do you display your flintlock or other guns in your home

    It's just me and my wife, retired, and we display our cap and ball revolvers on recessed shelves along with our single shot pistols. We have our long arms on hooks around the walls of two rooms. We have ADT and other alarms along with 3 unmentionables, loaded, sitting in our nightstands. When...

    1849 As A First "Colt"?

    My wife loves shooting the little revolver as long as she has her trusty tweezers to pull the occasional stuck cap.

    El Morro trip - national monument

    Visited El Morro in the Zuni reservation in New Mexico. It was a stop for good water for Native Americans, calvary, and pioneers. There was a display that included two examples of C&B weapons. I think the revolver is original and the long arm is a 'hawkins' model. Recommend stopping there...

    Travelling from Albuquerque to Flagstaaff

    Just got back. Visited Hubbard trading post. Nice display of muzzleloaders. Went to 'El Morro", a watering hole for travellers in Zuni reservation in New Mexico. On display was a percussion muzzleloader which locked like a "Hawkin" type, and a 1860 Army C&B. It was a great stop and...

    Travelling from Albuquerque to Flagstaaff

    We aren't sure what the rules are for shooting out there. My wife and I (we've been called 'the black powder couple' by a few RSOs at our range in Daytona Beach) have been searching for info and found some like: Must be a mile from any housing to be able to shoot on your property and you can't...
