    Civil war percussion rifle ?

    I don’t know much about percussion rifles and am hoping to learn more about the rifle my Grandfather left me. He did reenactment for years and traded most of his life. This rifle was left to me but I don’t know much about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time on this.

    Post 1860 Jamestown, NC Rifle by S.H. Ward

    Greetings from the NC Piedmont! Earlier this week I was fortunate to find and acquire an original NC longrifle.

    Cylinder Replacement on a 51 Navy Replica

    Good afternoon, I have a replica 1851 Navy Colt (Appears to be an EIG replica) that I have fired a few dozen times now and have noticed a major accuracy issue that seems to result from the cylinder's manufacturing.

    Opinion of Traditions "Trapper" pistol

    General opinion of the Traditions .50 caliber (percussion) "Trapper" Pistol"? Here in Idaho I can only use it for target shooting. (or as back-up to my .45 caliber 1911 for self defense) It is not a legal hunting weapon. (except for a tree'd Mountain Lion/Puma/Cougar if/when hunting with...

    So I picked up this at auction, and when it came in I tore it down and found more issues than I had planned on. It has been sitting idle for about 40 years, stuffed with dried grease and oil. But after total disassembly and a few days, a few fixes here and there and a lot of scrubbing inside...
