    Mike Lange Rugrats

    Just before the end of 2011 I ordered three .45 caliber percussion Rugrat Rifles from Mr. Mike Lange. Mr. Lange was recovering from a severe saw injury but was very willing to accept my order. The rifles were for my grandaughter, grandson and my brother's grandson. My grandchildren are both...

    TC Black Mtn Mag

    Yankee Doodle this was the first real problem with ignition. The first time the rifle was fired it had a slow or hang fire. After that it has worked like clock work. We only have a 2 week ML season in Eastern Texas and my son works oilfield so his time is very limited this year. I only use...

    1858 Remington

    It is my understanding that Cimarron sells Uberti revolvers that are checked and tuned up. Their website lists a 5 1/2" barrel Army but the Uberti website does not. Are the Cimarron Remingtons manufactured by Uberti ? Is the 5 1/2" barrel a special order..... rick

    Percussion Rifles Beginning?

    Well I am darn sure not an expert at anything but I do remember reading a paper written by a Texas A&M researcher on firearms from the Texas War of Independence from Mexico in the 1830's. While the percussion cap was invented around 1830 it was not common until the period of 1840 to 1850. I...
