    Shredded patches after firing ?

    They aren't durable because they are lubed cleaning patches not shooting patches. Give away 1 is they are square and no 2 is they are knit.

    Can of Goex ffg from the 70's ?

    Can of Goex ffg from the 70's ?

    That number on bottom of can is the work shift and batch number. The date is coded in the other longer number.

    Does this site have ammo in stock?

    I just checked on the Better Business site and it appears not to be a good place to order from. So I guess it's a good place to stay away from.

    Does this site have ammo in stock?

    I checked some of the most demand cartridges like .223 and 45 colt and just above the add to cart button it says, Available on backorder. But a big percentage of the ammo says nothing about being out of stock. I couldn't figure out a way to search for cap and ball stuff to see if they had any...

    Bought some Remington #10 caps

    Was driving through a small town this past Saturday and noticed an old hardware store that had a small sign in the window telling about a out of business sale. But it was the week before. I saw that there was someone in the store so I stopped and went in to see if there might be anything left...

    Still Another New Shooter Thread

    The Kid must have put in a lot of extra time moving the cap port to the other side of the gun. And getting the cylinder to rotate the other direction had to be tough also. Plus reversing all the screws and wedge. Wow! <grin>

    The RUGER OLD ARMY Club

    I would say you probably bent the hammer plunger. They usually break though. Rugers Won't stand rapid firing if by some chance you don't get the hammer pulled back fully before letting it go again. I have a Ruger single six that has had it's plunger broke twice now and a Ruger Blackhawk that has...

    I have not posted it anywhere but here now. I was going to show it in another thread that was discussing powder flasks then you posted one which I didn't know existed till now.
