I use 30gr of 777. Now Im gonna have to go out and chony the 1860. I figured it was around a 38 special to 45ACP. But the 45 is twice the weight.

Out here in the Pacific North Wet, it may rain a day or two. The only time folks wear buckskins here is in the dead of summer, when they are way to hot. My boots on the other hand are tanned elk hide uppers. Gottem in 92 and Ive used mink oil on them since then. They still supple are all...

Every time I take my 1860 Colt to the range some yahoo has to tell me Im using it dangerously. Tho Im using it exactly the way the 1866 order of arms book says to. So running and loading HAS to be unsafe. Think Ill try in this summer.

My question would be, why would you want to.

Me has had single action my whole life. I have a modern single/double action 45. I still use it single action. My brain just cant get the idea to just pull the trigger.

Howdee from south of Oly. We are days away from the Puyallup and Enumclaw gun shows. According to these folks the Pietta should fit https://www.emf-company.com/store/pc/prv_allreviews.asp?IDProduct=1650&IDCategory=0&page=3

Watched Dan'l, Davey, and Jim Bowie on TV. The ole man allowed it, but said after every show. Them black powder guns are useless toys. In 61 they sold Davey Crockett knives. They were mail order and my folks would not let me have one. Dixie still sells gen 4 knives (made in India). It took me...

Only have one holster, its a slim Jim cross draw.

Either the lead or mold or both are not hot enough.

I learned from pawn stars the other day that replacing the cones devalues the firearm. Are them the originals?

So let me get this right. For those that remove their barrels and clean them with very hot water and soap. You all just put the rifle away with nothing coating the barrel? It may not be a thing NOW, but it was in decades past.

My safe has 1/2 inch lag bolts thru the bottom into the floor and thru the wall behind it.

Used to buy them at the local gas station. Yup times have changed for the worse

I despise production guns. They are a pig in a poke. Some get really nice ones, some get trash. I got trash. You best be ready to make caps, they are very hard to find and stupid prices. You first gun might be a capper, but your last one will be a flintlock. Stay a head of the game and go...

I use only round ball and 30gr of 777. I get the same speeds between a 38 special and a 45ACP.

Concur with curved brass ends. Two ends, two different size threads. Works out real nice to have one on each end

Most folks these days dont even know what a blooper was. Hurt me just looking at the pictures

I have one almost the same as that one. It carries the wallet and cell phone, so no ones sees them. I cut the strap and made it into a belt pouch. Well now I know what its worth. Cool bag

That is one heck of a contraption. Where did you get the design? Here is my Rev War British warrant pan charger. Sure wish some one would make these, they work flawlessly. I found this one in a bin at Dixie Gun Works in the early 90s and have not seen one since.

Howdee and you can get parts from places like Dixie Gun Works and make them fit.
