Made some cigarette paper cartridges for my .36 `51 Navy. Went to the range and shot them. First time ever shooting a BP handgun. 6 each of 20 gr FFF a felt wad and a home brew bullet, 6 each of 20 gr with no wad. The bullets were swaged down thru a tapered hole in 1/4 steel plate and my arbour...

trained soldiers tend to remain cool-headed enough to strip and reassemble their weapons under fire. There is a story recently perpetrated by one manufacturer that their support team received a phone call from a US Marine sniper team that was actively under fire and their weapon would not feed...

Chambers measure just a hair north of 23/64. 0r .359 . best mold size for that? Making a cylinder press for loading both the .44 and .36. Am hoping to add a spot for .31 soon

spent the weekend out on the range training 23 primary reserve soldiers. They do not get enough range time as evidenced by the scores for about half of them. Canada`s equivalent to national Guard. Lots of shooting military grade unmentionable pistols, and the issues we had with those reaffirms...

I have what’s left of a .72 cal percussion pistol somewhere in my pile of junk, barrel, lock plate and trigger i dug out of a half buried scrap metal pile on my parents farm in Saskatchewan after my dad bought the place in 1977. The place was homesteaded in the mid 1800`s when it was part of...

1863 Remington “Zouave”

Eric, interestingly enough, the only reason i`m giving this camper any attention is because it is a Keystone Cougar with the aluminum frame. Maintains its shape pretty much regardless of the rot. Only the front, rear and floor structure are wood framed. i got it used from a dealer In Ganaoque...

Did some more camper work, found the back wall is rotten. Shouldn`t really be surprise, the rest of the thing was rotten. It is a relatively easy fix, i just don`t want to do it. cleaned my new to me ASM 1851 navy. Easy to clean parts were nice and clean. Barrel is shiny and looks new...

Finished fibreglassing the roof on my camper. Paint it next nice day i guess. Will have to deal with the ceiling next. ASM 1851 Navy arrived today. I`ll need ball or bullets for it - don`t have a mold. Son likes it better than the dragoon, but wife finds it muzzle heavy . Finished repairing a...

is that a cast in place pewter butt plate?

ok, thought it may have been range control. What i did yesterday? Fibreglassed 2/3 of my camper roof. Ran out of resin, but getting more Saturday And will finish it then. Ceiling dropped inside the camper, but was expecting that to happen. I dislike this camper intensely, but not enough to...

Drilled the middle lock plate bolt thru the back of the breech plug on my.22 build. New, much larger breechplug allows this. spent half hour refitting the tang to the tang inlet[ may have to do some judicious addition of some wood to close the small gap. Deepened the pan on the lock. It`s made...

Went out to the shop to make a trigger plate and tang bolt For my .22. Was removing the breech plug to weld up the misplaced lock plate bolt hole, and of course, twisted it off due to the misplaced lock plate bolt hole. Plug was 3/8 Inch. Spent the afternoon drilling that out, retapped the hole...
