It never ceases to amaze me how amazed people are with round ball hits and kills at 100 Plus yardages... Please do remember your history guys... When the Kentucky Long rifle was invented, the only game in town were patched round balls, and what made those Long Rifles famous, and so very...

Ummm.... You aren't referring to paper cartridges I hope ??? Cause I LOVE those things !!! But the metalic ones, ONLY in specific guns, that can accept nothing else, like a 45/70 Trapdoor, or a 44/40 Blond Boy... Never did cotton to brass cartridge revolvers, or automatic anythings... Just...

Wow !!! Those are some INTERESTING guns !!! Well, I have my Christmas Present mapped out !!! I want one of the 10 shot 31 Caliber pocket Walch's !!! Sincerely, ElvinWarrior... aka... David, "EW"

In My Humble Oppinion... Buying a Black Powder gun, and not shooting it... Would be about like buying a fine vintage sports car and never driving it... What would be the point ??? Sincerely, ElvinWarrior... aka... David, "EW"

darkerx, Could you possibly publish the link to where I can apply to be one of the lucky 800 to purchase one? If I did a custom build up, starting with a Pietta LeMat reproduction pistol, and paid a very skilled gunsmith, with a machine shop, to convert a LeMat Reproduction Pistol, into, a...

How about one of these, all are available from Middlesex Village Trading Company, http://www.middlesexvillagetrading.com/index.shtml The double barreled percussion 20 ga pistol (A howdah look alike), is 399, the double barreled flintlock 20 ga shot pistol is 425, and the double barreled 20...

I don't think you really have to worry much about shotgun loads. Shotguns are not designed for high pressure, high velocity loads to begin with. If it were my shotgun, I would only use BP in it anyways, as I am a dyed in the wool BP'er, and I wouldn't ever fire smokeless from it anyways...

Burnse, Yes, the LeMat carbine is real, original ones are extreamely rare, and very, very valuable, but it is a real gun, actually manufactured overseas for the Confederacy. Only a very few are known to exist, and of those, they all seem to be prototypes, with no two of them being quite alike...

To the posters wanting examples of jurisdictions that specifically forbid the use of converted or modified to become shot pistols... I have no specific example of law, my concern was one of "may be a legal problem"... I did not say that I definately knew, as a fact, that a modified gun...

I'll give you $75.00 for it, and I will pay for the shipping too. ElvinWarrior... aka... David, "EW"

Why convert anything at all? Why not just buy a Howdah, a Howdah look-alike or a double barreled flintlock 20ga smoothbore right out of the box? Why fuss around with fooling around with converting one thing to be another thing? If it is the 6 shot capacity that is an issue... Well, although...

I am not the worlds greatest expert in the different models out there, except for the basic ones, like a Colt navy versus a Remington new army, or a walker versus dragoon... etcetera. I really am not familiar with a Griswold Gunnison model at all, but, there is a tendency, amongst the Itallian...

Just my two cents... Either of these would be a great rifle, both are very well made, and affordably priced. This is a Traditions 50 Cal Hawkin Rifle... for $425.25 http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_92_186_190&products_id=12454 This next one is a Traditions 50...

Currently, You can purchase, from Dixie Gun Works, (DGW) a brass framed 1851 36 caliber Navy for $199.65... http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_92_187_189&products_id=15532 Or Alternatively, you can buy the EXACT SAME PIETTA PISTOL, in the Confederate 44 Cal. version...

That is one beautiful flinter there !!! Very nice. I don't think it should cost to terribly much to have it repaired, probably less than you spent on your new rifle, unless, it's a hand forged twisted barrel, in which case it could be a bit pricey to repair. I am not an expert in in-lines by...
