    fiocchi caps?

    Ran into a good deal on fiocchi percussion caps. There are two types, a red plastic container, and a blue one. Anyone shoot these? Do you know if they are corrosive, or at least more corrosive as Remmy #10 which I use for just about all my cap guns? Any clues as to which would be considered a...

    looking for info on a trade gun

    buddy just called asking me if I'd ever heard of a rifle maker. he just bought a 72 caliber trade gun and the only markings are George Dornbach a serial number INRI. He tells me it's a caplock, and the trigger guard is really wide, like a civil war military musket. The barrel is around 32...

    cracked stock

    so i've seen it a number of times where you guys all had fixes for cracked wood. I have an old friend, a Lyman GPR that has been used and abused for years. Still shoots straight and still looks like something you might want to hang on a wall for display. Not beautiful, but serviceable...

Piece of expletive deleted, and i'll never buy anything from that company again after the recent dealing with this kit and the company trying to deal with boogered up parts NIB.

    Range time with the Frontier

    So I put a new L&R replacement rock lock on my Pedersoli 45 cal Frontier, and filed about 2/3 of the front sight down. I think I'll quit here..... .440 ball, 50 gr FFg, 50 yards, off hand. I'm really liking this rifle. This is probably the beginning of a string of rock locks in my safe, and...

    getting tired of shrapnel on the remmie

    before going too far, I need to tell you guys that I am basically clueless on teardowns and repairs regarding my C&B revolvers. I'm getting better with the ROAs, but this Euroarms 1858 is pretty much a mystery to me when doing troubleshooting and repairs. So here's the problem...every time I...

    Kudos to a vendor

    I don't usually do this, but the service was so great that I had to tell someone, and who better than the guys that could use it! I ordered some BP goodies from The Gun Works in Oregon (http://thegunworks.com/) late Friday night. Saturday I had an email saying the order was being filled, and...
