OP said he wanted $1400.00. That is a bit steep I think. I see he got it for less. Still a used gun though.

Well, those who have led a more active life than I have tend to be more durable in older age. I spent too many years sitting in a chair working at a desk and not nearly enough time in the woods or doing some real physical work. Even though I went to Germany with an infantry MOS, I ended up...

Sounds kinda high. Dixie lists a double rifle brand new for not much more than that.

Yup, it was me. I have noticed a few issues with that placement and am considering a smaller knife for that location or perhaps eliminating it altogether. My problem with it is that it tends to snag on my shooter's necklace when I deploy it. Not a real big issue though, and I don't like large...

I would just keep looking. Number 10s seem to be in short supply locally, but I've had no issue getting number 11 caps. Try Scheels and Cabella's. Both of them have caps in stock locally. Eventually they'll be back on the shelves and listed online again. Just don't pay those price gougers...

Um... I didn't read this entire thread, but did you attempt to use the warranty? It never hurts to ask, even if it is a used tool, some companies will stand behind it should it be an obvious manufacturer's defect. That said, most of the time, in my experience, a used tool is a package of...

Blow an anvil with it?

I have a cataract in my shooting eye, but I can sorta manage to shoot yet using reading glasses. I was anticipating cataract surgery some day, but then I got cancer... which will likely kill me before my eyesight is bad enough to need surgery. Hey.... silver lining to every cloud ;) I agree...

Oh to be able to order a Wikinson or H&H percussion double rifle! Some things are just not to be though.... ;(

Use it up in duplex loads with something that actually works. I tried the substitutes when they came out and honestly, they haven't really improved all that much in terms of reliability. I use them when I get a windfall of free stuff or when I can't get anything else. Otherwise, I am a black...

Welcome from NE Wisconsin.

Most of my own ML guns... about a dozen I'd guess... are caplocks, so I need caps as well. So far, I haven't had to work just too hard to keep them in good supply and hopefully that will continue, but there are workarounds I am aware of in case they get to be in short supply again. I keep...

Personal preference thing, heavily influenced by whether one is left or right handed. I am right-handed and carry the possibles bag on my right hip with the powder horn (if I carry it at all) slightly above the possibles bag. Gun is typically slung muzzle down on my left shoulder... not across...

Yeah, I've had to deal with PO on occasion. One was a bit upset that I could not tell her whether or not her probationer had bought a black powder gun or not. Another one bought a gun, got approved and picked up his gun. His PO showed up the next day and was incensed at me for delivering when...

Has anyone built a golf-ball rifle? It'd be a hoot to shoot!

Prices are high even without price gougers like that, but before I would pay that kind of money, I would improvise something for my caplocks and maybe use my flintlock(s) more. Yeah, still holding onto that dream of the Pedersoli flintlock double rifle. Might get it ordered this month yet.

Since with are having a "blizzard" today, I decided to shoot a soda can. T/C Hawken .50 with .45 caliber Hornday XTP in a "wooden shoe" atop 70 grains of Old Eynsford 3f powder. Range about 25 yards (so as to be able to see the target, dontcha know). Didn't expect the snow to affect the...

Be happy to support them, but they're movin' too slow. Summer is coming and I am running low on powder. Ten pounds of Swiss is in Missouri this morning and should be arriving on Monday... or hopefully Saturday. I plan to stay home so I can sign my name and take possession.

Use the German word: Scheisse. You can even say ficken here then. Oh, and if you like ASCI art, you can do things like this: (.Y.)

Thanks!
