Sorry, but I cannot post photos at the moment. Photos of these can be found on ebay and ebay-uk. Musket Caps: A black & white circular label with J. Goldmark's Perc. Caps, above and Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, below. Central element says U.S. MUSKET caps over Warranted Waterproof...

Recently, the shop acquired a couple dozen NOS Rapine ball molds of various sizes---including an interesting .577-460 minie which I will be trying this weekend. There are also seven or eight Mystery Molds which might be of interest and maybe somebody here knows what they were made for, heh...

Picked this up today but still have not picked up a replacement camera---so please bear with me. The barrel is about 19 inches from muzzle to breech, the receiver is solid brass, the bolt, hammer and lever are steel. Lanyard ring, both barrel bands and screws are steel, too. It's .44-40 caliber...

Liege proof on bottom of barrel, bottom of the frame and rear face of the cylinder. Otherwise a straight up stainless pistol. What is this Belgian mark doing on a Smith? Is it just something required by law for an American pistol in Belgium? -----krinko

I would like to hear from someone who has experience with these---because they are quite different from current stuff. The tang sight and mounting screws for same, a tiny spirit level spring-clipped to the front sight and even the tang sight itself are all somewhat odd. I have difficulty...

It's big, it's heavy but will it shoot the Lee .54 REAL bullet; or do I need to stick to patched round ball? Experience, opinions, hallucinations---it doesn't matter---all are welcome here. -----krinko

Or should I just gather components and load my own? The pistol is a very nice .32-20 Colt PPS from 1920. I would hate to hare-lip the poor thing on it's 100th birthday using ammunition from boxes marked "Express Rifle", which seems to be ALL of them. Anyway... An Oklahoma girl brought her into...

One hasty photo. I contemplate fixing my lighting and replacing the dying camera... But after contemplation I find I am too tired to act. Bah. -----krinko

If I were to shoot the GOEX Black Dawg rounds in my historically inaccurate .45 caliber 1873s, would I have to go beyond removing the side plates and dust cover to get them clean? When somebody stuck a +1/16" round in the tube and got it hung in the elevator, I had to take the butt off to get...

First one--- The full length shot of the second one was was too fuzzy to use First lock--- This lock has a fly that falls down and blocks the half cock notch as the hammer is brought back to full cock. Second lock--- Very fancy on the back side of the lock plate. This is a very...

They say the paper cartridge Sharps are not popular---not a high demand item. ("They" being guys who work at Cabelas.) Oh well. I owned an Italian replica '63 Carbine back in the late 1970s and I shot it quite a bit. There was a cartridge making kit sold by the same store that sold the gun...

OK, so it's supposed to be dangerous to leave an air space at the top of the powder column in a BP cartridge. I'm not sure why or how it happens---maybe it's like dust in a grain elevator---but anyway there's a possibility of an explosion. OK. So this gets me thinking about the paper cartridge...

An Armi San Paolo musketoon--- The lock--- When I shone a light down the bore, the light reflected off the face of the breech plug. Unfired since XXX (1974) does not seen to have been an exaggeration. The lock is very well made, case hardened inside and out---or just a "finish", I don't...

Nice Nickle plated 29-2--- Pinned, recessed and buggered by somebody who opened the sideplate and fiddled around with the trigger and hammer and mainspring. Came in with the wrong size rubber grips on it. When I pulled the grip screw, it was possible to see the mainspring through the screw...

First, the Nice Schofield--- Uberti via Cimarron via a CAS guy who decided to go All Vaquero. He's also the guy who sold off the "Patron" SAA clone, so thanks to him I have couple of nice pistols. The Schofield is being fed low-vel Unique loads under a 200 grain lead slug and it's doing very...

Got this fairly cheap because the firing pin would not rotate---turns out the spring was screwed down too tight and was binding the pin axis. A simple backing off of the screw tension and everything was fine. Should have known better... At about the fourth test of the pin rotation, I heard...

Will a 29-3 trigger work in a 29-2 frame? Thanks. -----krinko

Ah, the lovely Italian sunshine on the lush vineyard! On this side of the hill grow the Pedersolis and Ubertis, well placed to catch the best sun and the kiss of the morning mist. On the other side of the hill, however, where the Dago Red grows, there we find the I.A.B.s. The Armisport...

I was reading somewhere about something else and somebody mentioned having a Miroku '63 with both spring band retainers and compression bands---like the one in this photo: All I ever found on this when I went looking for a maker's mark was "Navy Arms" on the lock plate and barrel. So is this...

I have two rolling block rifles, a Swedish M1867 in 50x?mm and a Pedersoli .45-70 with a 30" barrel and the lesser type of tang sight. The Pedersoli is supposed to be a "long range" rifle, but the trigger pull running over fifteen pounds seemed to be a bit problematic, so I took the hammer out...
