Fellers, I've seen the recipe for "Pearl Lube" on a couple of forums and it calls for the use of a sticky wax toilet bowl seal. I've been trying to come up with something readily available at local stores that will improve my lube's "stickiness", so it clings to the lube grooves better when...

I recently bought one of those adjustable powder measures and took that with me to the range today, along with some FFFg and FFg (Goex) powder. I also brought along some Wonder Wads to try out. My previous load has been 30 grains, measured via a 30 grain spout on a flask, with a 454 round...

I think I'm going to go the "make the front sight taller" route to get the gun hitting POA, rather than filing on the hammer. Is the front sight tack soldered into the recess on the barrel? Is it just press fit in there? Glued? Just wanted to know if I could remove it with a twist of...

Ok, my Google Fu is weak on this one. Not coming up with too many results, so I thought I'd ask you gentlemen. Does someone make an aluminum or brass powder hopper for the Dillon powder measure? I find it hard to believe some enterprising person with basic machining skills has not produced...

I know the advice about not using certain types of petroleum products in BP guns, but I was wondering if any of you had actually tried a cartridge bullet lube that contained some petroleum jelly, and what your results were. Specifically, did it make a mess that was really hard to clean out of...

Received my 1860 Army (Pietta) from Cabela's last week and I've been looking it over. Fit and finish appears very nice. Action is fairly smooth, considering it is brand new. Timing looks good. I checked the trigger pull when I first got it, and it seemed very light, with lots of creep. The...

Howdy fellers, I've decided to throw myself into this black powder madness and ordered an 1860 Army from Cabela's today. Also, I picked up a pound of FFFg and another pound of FFFFg, both Goex. I have the rest of the necessary accessories coming from Dixie Gun Works. I was hesitant to...

This is a follow up to the thread I created regarding custom work for my Cimarron Model P, located here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=603093 If you read the thread, you will see that Ryan from Hill Country Precision Gunsmithing generously offered to pay for shipping both...

Ok, I KNOW someone has done this before, so I thought I'd ask before I turn this project into a disaster. I have my safe sitting on Berber, under which is a carpet pad, then a concrete slab. I know from having dogs in the house that Berber comes apart like a sweater when you snag a single...

I am entertaining the idea of having some work done on my Cimarron model P. Action job, upgrade sights, check headspace/endshake, basic stuff. I'm in central N. Alabama and it would be great if I could find someone close by, but I am not averse to shipping. I sent an email to Steve Young...

I have a Cimarron Model P in .45 Colt and just did a Wolff spring kit swap last night. With the stock springs, the trigger was pretty light and kinda mushy, with lots of creep. I mainly wanted to reduce some of the force required to cock the hammer, as it seemed fairly heavy considering how...

Hello all, I managed to snag a factory refurb Sig P220 with night sights last weekend, and shot it for the second time today. The first outing I shot mostly 230 gr lead round nose over 6.0 grains of Unique. Gun ran like a top. Today, I had a batch of 200 gr. LSWC (Missouri Bullet), again...
