    Advice on new BP gun kit

    At least .50 cal, bigger if possible. When you say a custom kit as opposed to a kit from an existing existing company, what exactly do you mean? I am not opposed to putting in more work, I guess it would come down to the tools and skills required, putting in the extra time and research does not...

    Accuracy BP Revolver

    Hi all, Have seen many posts about using "fillers" such as cream of wheat among other stuff. Is getting the ball as close to the end of the cylinder as possible, while still allowing it to rotate, really gain that much accuracy, or is it just to add additional safe guard for chain firing?

    1858 New Army Revolver

    Why? I'm serious. I could never figure out why guys want to do this. Is it just to see if you can kill something with a hand gun? Is killing some kind of "sport"? I would be lying if I said some of it is not for the "challange", same reason why I also love archery and archery hunting. I am a...
