    Classic Guns, LTD - still open?

    Thanks Johnm1, I didn't see those links when I did a google search. Sad news, they did an awesome job color case hardening my Rogers & Spencer several years ago. I was going to send a couple of rifles their way to have reblued due to rust issues - high humidity and several hurricanes have...

    Help Identifying: Single shot inline percussion pistol

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I forwarded the info to my friend and hope to talk him into taking it to the range soon. Anyone know the recommended load of powder for this? I was thinking of starting with 20 gr of FFFG.

    Help Identifying: Single shot inline percussion pistol

    This belongs to a friend. I haven't seen it in person. It was his father's gun and he thinks it was made in the 1950s or 1960s but isn't sure. There is not a maker's name stamped on it. If anyone knows what this is and who the manufacturer is please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    How long to rifle an iron barrel?

    I have a Pennsylvania-style .50 cal made by a local man. He started making these rifles back in the late 1940s and originally drilled and rifled his own barrels before good commercial barrels finally became available. Based on his library research (remember, this was before long before the...

    Yes, the cylinder is in the white. I have a spare cylinder that I also deblued. The rest of the gun has been antiqued: I stripped the blue, heated it to about 225* and used a paper towel to dab some Birchwood Casey cold blue to it while hot, then lightly ran steel wool over it. In person it...

    45-70 Government Cartridges

    I know the rifles are very different (the Springfield was never intended to be the precision made rifle that Sharps was). I was intending to give the OP an alternative to the Remington factory ammo he mentioned in the first post in case he wants to try more factory ammo, one with a lead bullet...

    45-70 Government Cartridges

    If you want some accurate out of the box factory ammo, try Black Hill's .45-70. It is Cowboy Action ammo and in my Shiloh Sharps can get MOA groups or smaller (I know you have a Springfield but I bet it shoots just as well for you too). It has a 405 grain flat nose lead bullet and Star Line...

    The THR Rogers & Spencer Club

    I sent my R&S off to Mike Brackett (Goon) yesterday. After he works his magic I will spend some time at the range with the gun firing both cap and ball and using the conversion cylinder - I have two boxes of Black Hills .45 LC ammo. Hopefully Mike is going to be able to make a custom front sight...

    New Gunbroker format...

    I'm a fairly new Gunbroker user and I've bought three guns recently. I actually like the new format. I ebay a lot and it reminds me of ebay's format.

    The THR Rogers & Spencer Club

    I received a pleasant surprise in the mail today: I sent my Rogers & Spencer to Classic Guns, LTD ( http://www.classicgunsinc.com/ ) to be color case-hardened and to have some deep 1"-2" scratches removed form the barrel behind the front sight (which necessitated reblueing the barrel and also...
