I used RAW brand cigarette papers, and gorilla brand stick glue- no ash or anything left in my .36

Didn`t really know him for more than a few messages, but gave me great advice on what to look for when buying brass framed revolvers.

those have “lead” in them too…..

This Colt 2nd Gen is a little newer and unfired as well. Serial is in the 30000 range. It`s going to get fired. I`ll trade grips if you want. I`ve not googled the serial number.

I have a couple of copper sheathing nails from a Royal Navy ship…. Broad Arrow marked. They stamped everything. I`ll have to find those.

MEC got woke and are going broke

the amount of guns and other points of historical interest in Newfoundland is amazing. 150 yards down the hill from my house in Torbay, NL is a point called "the Battery". nothing gets named "the Battery" unless there had actually been a battery of guns there in the past. i`m told that where my...

the two main ingredients are difficult to obtain in Canada, although one is apparently easily made with grocery store items. you will be asked many hard questions if you seek to purchase this even with a very good reason to be buying it. still looking for a Canadian source for the antimony...

I have one of the Tap-o-Cap makers, and my home brew caps fit like a charm. I used the stuff out of the red plastic caps and some black powder, sealed in with tissue paper dot and wax hair spray. There is enough juice in those caps to blow out a double pop can cap. They passed the slow crush...

Was up on Signal hill today here in St John`s. checked out the Queens Battery with it`s 6 32 pdrs pointed out over the north atlantic. Very impressive and commanding view.

When i used to weigh the balls for my .50, the average heavy weight in grams was 11.47gm. I just found some in a box that i had packed away and they are all within 1 or 2 milligrams of each other. Says so on the container i put them in after i weighed them. I am not a good enough shot to bother...

Well, can relate to Eric and his house full of stuff he doesn’t need, sold off a coal forge, charcoal to go with it, two huge tool bins that used to ride in the back of a deuce and a half, spare fridge, Christmas decorations, and sooooo much other accumulated stuff it`s crazy. I have a tendency...

RAW brand cigarette papers burn to almost nothing, maybe a small piece where the glue is, but i only found one piece out of 12 shots in the chambers.

2 x10 box with plywood front and back. Fill with sand, set the top 2 x 10 and blast away. I use several layers of cardboard behind the front plywood to help prevent sand loss. When you are out of lead, sift your spent bullets out of the sand and recast. but i don`t shoot in the house. I think...
