The Big Country is an outstandingly good western. It is a typical Hollywood production, where all the actors were dressed like they were in a Bonanza episode. However, you soon forget about that once the story unfolds. And the incredible cast, with the very good acting, and the chosen actors to...

I think Silverado was the only time Kevin Costner ever really acted.

Ricardo Montebon was awesome as Iron Shirt.

I just fixed my short arbor on my 3rd model Colt dragoon a few days ago, with a hand fitted and filed shim. It was a little labor intensive, but definitely worth the effort. It solved all those problems that a short arbor causes.

I just fixed the short arbor on my Uberti 3rd model Colt dragoon.

A few years ago I was gifted a Kibler smr kit in .40 caliber, there were some issues with the ramrod being too short, as well as the retainer hole in the stock being too short. I called Jim, and explained that I was not the original purchaser, and then explained the problem. He sent me the...

Your reply indicates that a machinist skills are nessary to perform a simple function. I could explain to you the procedure, however, if you watch the video you will not only get a good explanation, but also the satisfaction of learning something new. By the way, I have implemented his...

Blackie Thomas had a video out a few years back, on how to stop cap jams without buying slick shot nipples. It involves cutting an ever so light groove on the face of the original nipple. If you can find the video, watch it. It can save you some money.

Thank you for your comment. I have a third model dragoon that I have not shot very much, do too the fact that I have determined, that the arbor is too short. With this discussion, I have determined that I should fix it, however your comments have solidified my determination.

I grew up in n.j. as well, I just turned 70. The last time I hunted there, you could take a doe during doe season, a doe during archery season, a doe during muzzleloader season. You could also take a doe during winter archery season in January. This was back in the 1980s.

Thank you for the detailed information.

Clay Hays has an excellent video out about an open country stalk for an elk, he did with a .50 caliber flintlock longrifle, in which he was successful.

I would get the fowler or the .58 caliber colonial. You could us the fowler on the wild hogs, I know they have plenty of in New Mexico, and the colonial rifle in .58, will give you the knock-down power you will need for elk, or bear. This is of course my very own opinion. Maybe get them both.
