52, got my first two muzzleloaders on the same day in 2014. Have 9 now i think.

Hot soapy water, then blast with WD40. It displaces the water. When i`m done cleaning up the cleaning stuff, i`ll hit the metal parts with brake cleen. The chlorine free stuff. That gets rid of the WD40. When thats dry, i`ll oil up with whatever oil is handiest, and i mean that. If one is next...

Got original nipples out of an 1839 enfield and an 1863 remington “Zouave”. Soaked in ed`s red for a week or a month, dried them off, heated with a propane torch, applied vice grips and they came out far too easily. both nipples were stripped/eroded of any wrench grabbing surface. The 1839`s...

I have a Y camera brand(china). I got it to inspect used barrels before purchasing if the breech plug was still in. It’s a 7mm, and should have gotten the 5mm. It does have a 15 or so foot cable and have used it for inspecting others stuff as well, like the central vac, and the kitchen sink...

I`m still a young guy here for the most part. That’s me in my avatar…lol the beard is 35 years older than me

Have a flint gun in .22. It`s just for fun though. Use air gun pellets and it will sometimes punch a hole in an oil drum lid i shoot at

Haha, there`s two cats and 1 dog here. I know they have other names, but i call them Cat, Kitty and Dogg. I remember the dog`s name but the two cats names escape me. I also refer to them as the Shop Supervisors As thats where they live. the guns, well i call them whatever the manufacturer named them

“Maybe it was one guy, with 12 guns…”

Welcome to Alberta, just retired a week ago myself, 51 yrs old.

I have an original mid to late 1700`s RW trade gun relic. It has a finely made primitive rear sight. It also shoulders very well with sights immediately on target. Wish it was a shooter, and would so much like to make an exact copy of it for shooting. The stock might actually be a replacement...

Things are good. Going to be getting the revolvers out to Czar range with buddy who has a membership there. I think its Czar. the Pontiac is coming along and burning up most or all of my gun budget, but the weather(lol) is getting better so back yard flint shooting starts soon.

Hey swanny, i can shoot out the back door.. and the front, come to think of it

Sounds good.

I`m in wainwright area. Jon

Anyone going to the gun show this Easter weekend? i`m heading down with the boy and visiting my eldest daughter. Hopefully she`ll come along too

I remember my first lead i played with as a child came from the seals on bottles of Maderas wine. My dad served that a lot, and he gave it to me to make slingshot pellets. I used to carry them in my cheek when out using them.

Rest In Peace Dutch it was my honour to have spoken with you on more than one occasion, and it was your system that got me on target. I thank you for that.

I don`t know what colt did to it. Apparently they refurbed a bunch in the 1950`s, and this is reportedly one of them. I have no proof of that, but the frame and barrel assembly has some light pitting that the rest of the gun does not have. i don`t care that much either about it being refurbed-...

It was allegedly refurbished by colt, i`ll take that with a grain of salt. It`s also my favourite- just feels right. I keep my finger no where near the trigger until i``m ready to shoot, but it`s pretty touchy. have an ASM 1851 navy, a 2nd Gen Colt dragoon, and a ruger old army. Considering...

Have an original 1860 Army, refurbished. Has a super light hair trigger, dangerously so for inexperienced shooters. How is that fixed? There is no obvious wear on any of the parts.
