Can anybody tell me how much a 1860 3rd Colt army boxed set is worth. It comes with, a powder flask, nipple wrench, mold, cap tin, and a wood case that says colt on the top. It has the boxes and papers in great shape. I got sick and have to let go of some things go. I want to be fair, thanks.

Found this old family photo taken in central cal around the Porterville area from my moms side of the family. Kind of a cool old guy, need to find out from some one in the family who he is. Dose anyone know what kind of rifle he has.

Just got this 1862 last week love this gun, but their is a blow back problem. I know it is a blow back problem, because cap fragments are between the hammer and frame after most shots before the gun is re-cocked. This happens even with reduced loads. I ordered some slix-shot nipples but they are...

This was in a local gun store, and I had to have it! The only other ones I have seen are from dixie, but the ones they sell are 44 cal octagonal barrel. Their was paper work in the box from EMF but they don’t list it on their site. Got to shoot it yesterday and was surprised at how well it shot...

Just finished my first attempt at making a holster and belt. Being that the movie pale rider is what got me interested in the 1858, and the 1858 got me interested in bp, I had to go with the pale rider type rig, plus there is no tooling. I only have 6 bullets instead of 9, and mine is for 5.5...

Just got thru making these grips for my remmie, just wondering what you think? Thanks.

I have a lot of extra cylinders for my 1858s, And I have been experimenting with them and find some shoot better than others, and some shave a better ring than others, some shave a complete ring and others shave a partial one, so I took one and using a cone shape grinding stone put a little...

Just got a shipment from rotometals today 60lbs of lead the maintenance man where I live brought it to the door, said the mailman could not lift it, the mail man came by to make sure I got it. They ship in a flat rate box that is smaller than the shoe box in the picture, but as there motto goes...

Just picked up this 1860 signature box set, never fired never cocked, came with all the goodies all the paper work and boxes. Have been looking at it at a local gun store for 2 months now and couldn't take it any more. I know colt dose not consider it a real colt, and I could have gotten a...

Just got thru watching this weeks top shot, next week they are shooting flintlock pistols, some kinda pirate thing where they swing on a rope than shoot it. Should be interesting.

So I was at a local gun store tonight and found this 1851 2nd gen their on consignment, and ended up walking out the door with it, doesn't appear to have ever been fired, the wedge pushed out with thumbs, but had to tap a few times with a rubber mallet to get the barrel off. Had the black box...

Got a chance to go to the range yesterday and shoot my uberti 1858 carbine, it is without a doubt my most accurate bp gun so far, it is so well balanced the balance point is right in front of the trigger, it points and shoots so well its all most boring. The pic of the target shows my first 5...

My first uberti and for sure not my last, I love this gun the fit and finish is great, the action is smooth, no sharp edges on the hammer or trigger, nothing stamped on the barrel, just the proof marks, much nicer than my pietas, I also like the dove tail sights and loading lever latch, the...

I am hoping to hear from those that have shot or own one of these cool looking little guns. Dose it have power? Dose it have accuracy? Are you glad you got it, or do you regret getting it? Thinking of adding one to the herd, but am on the fence about it Thanks :confused:

purchased a lee bottom pouring furnace yesterday so I can started making balls, also a 25lb bag of lead shot to get started, going to do it out side getting a fan, welders gloves, hopefully a leather apron, plain on wearing leather work boots and safety glasses, need to find something to stir...

Just got it today and she is purdy, going to have a learning curve on this one don’t know much about patch and ball or ML shot guns. Don’t even know where to get the .60 balls for it, no nothing about under cards, over cards or shot gun wads. All I do know is I have been looking at this thing...
