Excam 1858 Remington
So glad you replied. I don't have a background in metalwork of any kind save a little minor gunsmithing, so I have to read a lot. Most books about the subject confuse more than they help. If one wants to know a useful answer to the question "is a stainless steel firearm tougher than a carbon... -

Excam 1858 Remington
Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers over my stainless steel question. Its just that I spent days trying to get a definitive answer to a question about stainless' strength. I bought a Beretta 92 that had a blackened stainless slide and barrel, and I was curious as to how/if it was superior to... -

Excam 1858 Remington
Who told you stainless has more strength? All my reading suggests that the stainless used in firearms is neither harder than carbon steel nor does it have as high a tensile strength. Although, perhaps I was just thinking of the difference between stainless and the chrome-moly steel used in... -

Percussion Revolver Carry - Civil War
The photographic process in those days produced photographs that were mirror-images. In other words, right became left, etc. Although most modern publications go ahead and "correct" this, older ones didn't. Neither do some new ones. Look closely at his accoutrements. Does anything else look... -

Thunder Ridge Muzzleloading?
Just thought I'd mention that my purchase from Thunder Ridge Muzzleloading arrived today. Although I was in the dark as to when it was coming, it (Uberti 1847 Walker) did arrive in a very timely manner and in very good condition. Oddly enough, a Uberti 1858 Remington that I ordered from Midway... -

Thanks everyone; I'm sure he appreciates your vouching for him. Guess I'll be able to do the same here soon. -

Thunder Ridge Muzzleloading?
Anyone ever deal with this outfit? Got order confirmation, but no estimate of shipping and no replies to my email inquiry into such. I got spoiled dealing with Midway--got order confirmation email, shipping confirmation email, tracking email, and delivery was FAST! I ordered some M-14 parts... -

Liquid Alox OVER bullets?
I read some posts in the last few weeks discussing the carrying of C&B revolvers for self defense. I'm on the side of the people who urge one to carry the best modern pistol he can afford. But it did get me to wondering about how one would lube his bullets if he planned on leaving his C&B... -

Revolvers........
Cimmaron's (I hate double consonants--is is two "m's" or two "r"'s?)website mentions their new "original" finish. I can't tell if it is meant to look aged of if it is just of a higher quality. -

Uberti vs. Pietta
Well, I received my first Uberti today, and I thought it would be fair to give my impressions. But first I must say that I examined my old Remington 1858 replica and found that it was not a Pietta product like my earlier post said. The 1860 Army was, but the Remington was an ASM. But in... -

Uberti vs. Pietta
I bought an Colt 1860 Army and an 1858 Remington from Cabelas about 10 years ago. Both were Pietta products, and both were manure. The Remington shot fine, but the loading lever link was so soft that it deformed when seating a bullet. And the loading lever plunger hole in the frame was drilled...
