This will show exactly how much I know. It's a fact that you break in new rifle barrels... at least I know it to be true of rifles where the bullet itself contacts the lands and grooves. I understand that this is to (oversimplification) in effect smooth out microscopic imperfections in the...

You know what... after taking another look at the Merit Master lens model with the wide rubber shade, that actually might be the way to go. Having a shaded adjustable aperture with an internal ground prescription lens that will replace the aperture on a Lee Shaver medium distance Soule sight...

I always shoot with both eyes open... Iron sights or scope. I consider myself a good shot, but I don't think I've ever taken a shot over 175 yds. in my life. That one, the deer fell over... period. My dad taught me well, but now I want to go for the long shot. I think I have decided on the...

Arcticap and Jackrabbit 1957... Wouldn't the Hadley Aperture on the Soule do the same thing as the merit? I DID see better through my friend's sight setup. Maybe the merit thing would be better since its so close to the eye. Can you use the merit AND a soule sight? I've got an...

Arcticap & Jackrabbit 1957... Wouldn't a Hadley adjustable aperture on a sloule do the same thing as the merit thing, or would that be too far from eye. I DID see better at distance through my friends sights. Does the merit concept work because it's so close to your eye?

By the way, I'm not overly concerned with weapon and ammo correctness. I do this because I just like all the time, effort, and study it takes to learn what it takes to be good with what I have. I also shoot an 1858 Remington and a Rogers & Spencer revolver. Great time killers.

I own a .50 cal. Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken. It comes with a .5" front blade and rear Buckhorn sights. I'm 66. I can see a target at 75 yds., but past that the target fuzzes out really badly.... I mean like to the point that I'm not sure if the pumpkin is even sitting on the post. I...

I use one on my black powder revolvers and vaping equipment. Use a couple drops of dawn...soak...run 10 min...let soak...run another 15 min. Works great. Rinse,dry, and you're set to go.

Hi. I've been shooting black powder revolvers for a couple of years. I recently purchased a .50 cal Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken rifle and after a couple days at the range, discovered that my 66 yr. old eyes aren't up to aiming past 100 yds. with the stock Buckhorn sights. The rifle is...

Checked out and bookmarked that site. Thanks. It could help.

Fairly certain I will. Seems like a very reasonable deal.

Even more.

Here's some more pics.

I guess my original post wiyh the pictures as moved (?) to firearms research.

I need to identify a black powder revolver. It is similar to a Lefaucheux M1858 with differences. It is an 11mm pin-fire circa 1860. It has an oval with ELG in it stamped into the outside of the cylinder... Belgian proof mark maybe? It has a circle with an S in it stamped on the front of the...

I'm interested in black powder. Just found the black powder section. Guess I should have posted there. I'm an extreme newbie to this forum stuff. Glad I found you guys. About myself... I'm a felon, so black powder will have to be it for me. My Kansas gun rights have been automatically...

I need to identify an antique firearm. It is pin-fire, 11mm, maybe Belgian. It reminds me of a Lechaufeux M1858 with differences. It has no manufacturer's name on it. It is a 6-shot revolver. The barrel is about 6 inches. The barrel has 4 lands and grooves. It has 3504 stamped into the...
