    What did you do today

    Having let some of my buddies shoot my Ruggles underhammer buggy gun , most of them want to have some similar themselves . Therefore I've started to tinker a small series of 5 , using cutoffs of abandoned barrels of Swiss Supermatch Martini rifles ( 7,5mm) which make great barrels for .290...

    Help Identifying Percussion Pistol

    Current English proof marks of their time - seems to be an ordinary "coat pistol" of it's days . I'm quite sceptical for it to be a D.Egg gun , since the backlock appeares only after the 1850s , when he'd been gone long ago . Sorry - nothing really rare here in the Old World , but still...

    What did you do today

    Today was a somewhat perplexed shooter comrade with me . At his dp-lePage pistol, the head of the cock screw had made itself independent , no idea whether he has overtightened the screw, but probably not. I think that he as a retired technician knows that after "tight" comes very quickly...

    Goodies , I like to own
