BSA1, you are very observant.My Uberti loads very tight with .380 balls so much so that mid-way through my second cylinder I decided to use a leather glove to save my lever hand. Half way through that second cylinder I decided to make a cheater out of a 6" piece of 1/2 schedule 40 pvc pipe. That...
It's easy to agree with 72 Coupe because he and I have the same guns, Uberti manufactured 36 cal. colt's police. The unknown is weather the pietta you're getting is cylinder bored the same as the Uberti. In either case TOW will still be able to supply you with the proper nipple size and most...
Welcome to the family. Before you go any farther read the post at the top of the page written by Cannonman and titled differences between BP shooters and smokeless shooters. You will note that there is a clear difference between the two and that you can surmise that one group won't be able to...
After all is said I'd have to agree with alexander45. Knowing that I was going into the street tomorrow morning in front of most of the town with my honor and life at stake. I'd be looking at my gun collection and going over their plus's and minus' and I'd end up with the pair I'd shot and...
BTW, that gun is still in my safe waiting for that special day when I will burn up a couple of pounds of powder and ball and try to make the gun a killer.
Perhaps 40 years ago an older and very wealthy friend of mine took the time to show me his complete collection of turn of the century African big game double rifles. He probably had 50 guns in BP and smokeless with names like Holland and Holland. Each gun came with it's own fitted case and I...
One descriptive word keeps coming up in the description of muzzleloaders and that words is "Ponder". I might have a teeshirt made up that simply states "Muzzleloading gives one the time to ponder".
Go to Track of the Wolf they have a very easy to read online catalog that should determine the nipple needed for your rifle. The tail that wags the dog is the thread pitch. If your rifle was made by Thompson center it is a no brainer and is 1/4-28, 1/4 diameter and 28 threads per inch. If it was...
I've been watching a lot of comments on Ytube about this gun and find to my amazement that the "gun experts" reviewing the gun dry fire the heck out of it with out snap caps. I was always taught that dry fireing a rim fire gun was a absolute NoNo. Does the design of the Ruger Lcr in rimfire...
I've been on Youtube studying the aftermarket slidebars and trigger kits made by Galloway for the LC9. It seems that the product is both hard to get and still being perfected. Any comments on the latest information from Galloway?
Just saw on Youtube that Ruger has come out with the LC9 S a striker fired LC9 that doesn't have the long trigger pull or the hated loaded chamber indicator.
When someone asks me about getting into muzzleloading my first question for them is "would you be satisfied with a range day where you fired 50 rounds or less?". Most smokeless shooters would consider this as a bad day. You being a "Cannonman" may have answered that question already. The second...
A couple of thoughts about your BP snake pistol.
Snake shots are usually taken at close range measured in feet instead of yards so I'd think holding tight patterns should be easier.
Walking in the thickets can get rough and keeping a shot load tightly loaded can be a problem. I'd consider...
I posed my original post #23 and #25 not out of ignorance (I've been muzzleloading and studying the history of it since 1964) but to give thought about the fact that our forefathers couldn't weigh out charges in the field they could only use a volume container, only gunsmiths could fool with...
