Mountain men & Plains hunters
tengun, after a few years of being here and reading over the years I'm almost convinced now the percussion gun didn't exist until the 1950s when Navy Arms helped start the modern reproduction era. They made percussion guns just for those of us to stupid or scared to shoot a flintlock. And well...- cgn71

early short starter
I really don't have an opinion on short starters, to many more valuable historic things I still want to research yet but simple things like short starters, tooth picks and butt wiping material haven't made it to the top of the list yet, I have not read on the subject but I imagine people did...- cgn71

Colt CW revolver?
The round barrel brass frame 36 caliber is a replica of the Griswold and Gunnison revolver made by the Confederates in a small town a few miles from me. At one time the town was called Griswoldville then Clinton and today is the town of Gray GA, it's about 12 miles or so from Macon. The... -

What got you into muzzlleloading?
For me it was several things others have mentioned, the reruns of Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone when I was a kid back in the 70s. By the time I was 10 and in the 5th grade I loved to read history and being in Georgia back then most history you found to read around here was Civil War related so...- cgn71

Picked up a T/C Hawken today
It's a 50 cal,I really liked the finish of the wood and the color of the brass when I first saw it. I've owned 2 Lyman GPRs and liked them both alot but I do like the way this feels better. The knife is actually a Frost Whitetail Bowie I picked up in a trade. I liked their stuff alot back... -

Double action cap & ball?
Yep we've kinda gotten off track from the OP question, Like some said the DA Star is a reproduction of an original and so close a reproduction that it has alot of the same problems. If you want one just to have a wide variety of BP revolvers it is a neat one and you can shoot it without many... -

Double action cap & ball?
The Gunnison and Griswold was a brass frame copy of the 51 colt in 36 cal with a round barrel and non-engraved cylinder. Between 3200 and 3700 made. They were made in Griswoldville GA which is now Grey GA about 15 miles outside Macon. The Spiller and Burr is a brass frame 36 cal. copy of the... -

Shiney Colt Walker
Yes it's a Whitneyville Dragoon, 250 or so were made originally using some left over Walker parts before production on the 1st model Dragoon began. Easiest way to tell is how the grips curve into the frame same as on the Walker, Starting with the 1st model the grips are a straight line against... -

Uberti 1847 Walker vs. 1858 New Army
yes get both, then you'll know you made the right choice :wink: Chad -

Colts Dragoon?
It's a Uberti, the most visual part is the way the grip curves into the frame same as the walker instead of being straight up and down. [/img] -

Colts Dragoon?
Yes,The Whitneyville Dragoon is the one that was made with left over Walker parts but it has the new style loading lever,shorter barrel and cylinder. only around 250 or so were made before what we know as the 1st model Dragoon began production with all new parts. Chad -

I gotta quit going to gun shows
Wish I could find a deal like that, Last gun show I went to I found one like I've been looking for, 36 cal. brass frame with a round barrel. just like the southern made Gunnison and Griswold, it was used and the guy had $250 on it. I just kept on walking and didn't even give it a second look... -

1860 question
I do know alot of parts even from different makers on different models will interchange, some with no work some with just a little work. When I was reenacting I portrayed a cavalry trooper and loved to carry alot of revolvers and I've seen many guys that never cared anything about live firing...
