A regular study in epistemology. Sure I’m glad I didn’t miss that.

The US Constitution makes no reference to succession and in that sense it was technically not “against the law”, but as Lincoln said, no nation presides over its own dissolution. It’s interesting that in the Confederate Constitution succession of any Confederate state was specifically...

Did you buy it just to look at? Life is short, shoot the darn thang. In addition to having fun you’ll have one less 21st Century issue to deal with. The backstrap is real steel, blued.

Five chambers went sixteen months in a Pietta .44 Remington spare cylinder. No special storage. Sometimes the cylinder was on the gun for property walks (anti-mountain lion and rattle snake) or it was just sitting around on a bookshelf or on my desk. Thirty two grains Pyro P, a .454...

Yea, luck of the draw with CCI No. 10’s. No consistency whatever. Remington number tens will snap right on a stock Pietta cone, every time. Some of the ever-so-helpful “advisors” here sound as if they have even less experience than OP chiphas noteeth.

Very gently and carefully elevate (bend) the wedge spring upward so that it’s high enough to catch under the wedge screw

Anybody can half-ass a thing for 40 years, it’s easy. Tempus fugit. Problem is - it’s neither sound as evidence nor argument.

It’s OK to be a noob here, we were all there once, but come on man, do some homework.

Actually shooting your guns will produce an aging appearance, too. Imagine. Takes longer than two hours though, but won’t look contrived. Then it could be called “honest wear” and would in fact be the real deal and look it. Blackie Thomas, Black Powder Revolver Series, has a bunch of stuff...

Can’t start putting up with shoddy goods and getting screwed. The UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) covers problems like this, no matter what the seller says. With a little friendly persuasion they would’ve made it right. One photo to a supervisor would have probably fixed this. Too passively...

A colt 1860 design in .36 is known as an 1861. Of the three types of guns you’ve mentioned an 1861 is by far the more concealable. It’s a smaller package.

Some people would rather shop-fiddle their guns than actually shoot them.

A real bad-ass with an unresolved power conflict and a potential poster child for the gun control lobby. I’m convinced now - some people shouldn’t even own guns.

Nice box. How does it group? Much of this thread is amazing. I can’t even …

A cardboard box. An urgent 21st-century issue. The fate of Western civilization hangs in the balance. Muh box.

I question whether a hollow point would be the best bullet for this gun and this application. I would choose a 190 to 200 grain slug with a moderate to generous meplat. I have both the Remington 8” and the 5.5 and each is a great shooter. Pietta. It would never occur to me to go deer...

So yea, OK. What? Winegar is one cringeworthy dude. Creepy.

I miss that good man. I guess everyone does.
