    Black Powder Revolver Manufactures

    I've been considering getting into some black powder shooting with some revolvers. My eye has been settling on the 1858 Remington over and over again. An original piece is out of the question due to funding. A repo will be the way to go. The trouble being that I don't know much about the...

    Increasing a barrel's external diameter?

    Strange question, and I couldn't find anything via searching. I am trying to run a 5.45 saiga in a saiga 12 stock. Kushnapup fun. The stock uses the barrel for stability, so unless I can figure out how to reliably increase the barrel diameter, or find a way to shim it, my project isn't...

    Red/blue guns for holster making

    Just starting into holster making and thinking about getting some trainers for molding purposes. Other than price, is there a difference between redguns and blueguns? Sadly, adding a J frame to my stable will not fly with the wife. Also, anyone know where I can get red/blue guns on the...

    Revolver spring change leads to stiff SA trigger

    Okay, I'm stumped here and can use some help. I recently acquired a Taurus M85 revolver. Works like a charm. SA light and like glass. DA smooth as silk but a little heavy. I wanted to lighten the trigger pull in DA, so I bought a shooters pack of springs from Wolff. I installed a...

    Taurus M85 Ultra-Lite range review

    Well, I finally got to take my M85 Ultra-Lite to the range. Gratuitous Picture After bringing it home, I did the standard Taurus revolver welcome home. I popped the slide plate and doused it in CLP to get all of the metal bits and grit out of it, then let it drip dry with the slide...

    aluminum frames, any issues

    I tried searching, but couldn't find a thread on it, so here it goes: I am in the market for a 38 snubby for some discrete carry. I like steel frames, but after handling some of the Air-weights and Ultra-lights out there, the reduction is weight of the aluminum alloy frames is a huge plus to...

    Today Arnold Swarchenegger (Republican) signed into law bills that will ban lead ammunition in areas comprising of 22 counties in California as will as requiring all semiauto handguns to microstamp each cartridge that they gun fires with a serial number assigned that fire arm. Rock on the rest...

    Norinco 1883?

    The local Big5s here have what they call a Norinco 1883. They look like 1897s to me though. I checked one out close up and can't find any markings denoting if it was a 1897 or an 1893 other than the paper tag. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they just renamed 1897s or are they...

    (AK) Double hook vs Single hook

    Okay, are there any advantages to the double hook trigger group for an AK? I know the AK 100+ series uses the single hook triggers, but it seems like all of the top custom jobs here in the states use the double hook. This has me thinking that it is nothing but a fad, but I would like to hear...

    Cosmoline: How does the military remove it

    If you have spent even as little as a week on the gun forums you will run into the age old question of how to remove the brown goo. There are many ways. Some work better than others, but this thread is not about those. My question is, the militarys of the world use cosmoline to put old fire...

    What happens when.....

    I have never shot black powder anything, but I have a question for you that shoot muskets that has been bothering me for a while now. Say you go brain dead while loading your musket and you load the gun in the wrong order and ram home the wad and ball before the power. How do you get the...

    Fixed 10 round American made SKS mags?

    I am thinking about doing some mods to my SKS and need to remain compliant to State and Federal law. To do so, I am going to need to replace the original fixed mag with an American made one. The issue is, that due to state law, it needs to remain fixed and limited to 10 rounds or less. The...

    What is a liberal?

    Many of us here throw the term “liberal” around here like it was going out of style. I myself have been called a liberal on these very boards. This confuses me, being that I don’t consider myself liberal, yet I don’t consider myself conservative either, but who knows. So, thinking about the...

    Pocket holster questions?

    I am thinking about getting a gun that would be perfect for pocket carry, but something about pocket holsters just does not make sense to me. What I am getting at is that I have lots of different pants, all with different pockets sizes and shapes. While they could all hold the gun that I...

    Shoot first law

    Anyone see this yet? The Brady folks are at it again. http://www.shootfirstlaw.org What is funny, is that they forget to mention that CA has no duty to retreat either. Nor do most states IIRC.
