Looking to trade my RWS 460 Magnum .22 cal air rifle for a nice percussion muzzleloader. Only interested in guns in excellent condition. Thought I’d see if there was any interest. Pics available upon request. Thanks

Hello all! Just joined the site here. I was hoping I could get some help with the specifics of identifying this Percussion Cap Double-Barreled Shotgun - pictures attached. From my browsing, it seems like I have a Belgian piece, judging by the two biggest proof marks. I can also see some...

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.

Greetings from the NC Piedmont! Earlier this week I was fortunate to find and acquire an original NC longrifle. Since first seeing my great grandfather's Jamestown rifle as a kid, I have wanted to own one of these pieces of NC history. Jamestown in Guilford County (think below Greensboro) was...

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this site, I am quite exhausted from searching about this particular musket, which is why I come to you all in hopes that I may get better help onto it. I know very little about this musket, only that it has sprung possible ressamblences with french...

Hello everyone! My current project (among the millions of other things that one constantly has to deal with) is a passion project. I'm restoring an extremely rare rifle/smoothbore muzzleloader, pictured below. I think she's certainly a beauty on the outside, unfortunately the inside is not so...

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. It appears as though not all of the chambers align properly with the barrel when...

I got a New Orleans Ace pistol but I can’t unscrew the barrel any tips on how to unscrew it

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...

Hi guys, Here is a peculiar example of experimental muzzle-loading percussion rifle. Unlike common muzzle-loaders, the gun has its percussion nipple in the center of its receiver end. Another distinctive feature of the gun is grip safety lever on the upper tang. We need to...

Hello I have been searching for years for a stainless barrel for my old pitted Springfield hawken and never had any luck I recently stumbled upon a stainless original made by TC with a “K237719” serial number. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. I have scoured the internet and can...

Folks, your advice and assistance is welcome on a long simmering project. The .62 caliber rifled barrel and stock wood (full stock or half) have been in my possession for five years, as different rifle designs went through my mind over this time. Due to the high heat, today was an "inside" day...

Hi all, I wanted to share my rifle with the forum. I received it from my father in 1981 as a gift for accomplishing my Eagle Scout Award. He always referenced it as the title states. He and Ted were friends/acquaintances. When my father traveled for sales and was in Ted's area he would stop by...

I have an antique .50 caliber percussion rifle that I gave to a gunsmith for a good going over; cleaning, tightening things up; new frizzen, etc. It's a beautiful gun with lots of brass and silver. Anyway, upon removing the stock underneath the barrel various initials were discovered which...

Hi everyone, I have an issue with my 50 Hawken. I took the barrel off the stock ( I've done this before with no issues for deep cleaning etc.) And when I reassembled it the rear tang that is counter sunk into the stock sits up 1/8 inch or so. Not sure what to do here as the point is sharp and I...

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...
