Try seating a Cabela or any fiberous lubed blackpowder revolver wad before adding any inert material. It won't hurt the firing pin. The fit should be relatively tight so nothing leaks. I hope you figure out your issue. Happy New Year.

I understand the importance of training. However, most people don't have the time or the financial resources needed to bring full fledged combat ready training to bear. Realism is an important component to both home front defense and while traveling away from home. The level and the type of...

Thank you!

I've recently acquired a conversion cylinder for my Pietta steel framed 1858 Remington, the kind without the gate. I have some Miwell. 45 Colt Cowboy ammo with 250gr.with flat nosed round lead bullets. I figured on trying out my new cylinder soon but wanted to ask if it is safe. Standard...

Thanks for your input. Softer bullets sound like great advise. I can always use the ones I have already with other firearms I have. Thanks for your powder and loading cautions.

Soft lead vs. my hard cast. Okay! FMJ I'm a tad doubtful on. As I understand it it, Pietta blackpowder recommendations cautions against full metal jacket use. However, I've heard others say different. Thank you for your input.

Thank you for your answer to my question sir.

More dumb dumb questions. Here goes. My Swedish M38, that I recently purchased, didn't come with a front sight protector. I want to get one for it. My M96 has one and it looks great! IMHO )1) Were these sight protectors discarded a lot when the Swedes used this rifle back in the day or is...

The bore condition of Swede M38 Thanks for the help guys!

My purpose built M38 Swedish Mauser (with the bent bolt ) has all three numbers on the brass disc that indicate bore condition with arrows pointed at each one. The bore looks great! All the parts numbers are matching on this 1942 Husky, serial # 6515XX. Is this just a succession of bore...

Thanks for all the info gents! It is appreciated!!!!
