A target version of the Colt Walker by Armi San Marco. I have no affiliation with the sale, I am just posting it because I thought it was unique and others might like to see it...

I have a T/C Hawken .45 cal that was a kit gun. I am not fond of the trigger guard shape. Are there any other trigger guards that are a drop in fit to the T/C Hawken? Something not quite so fancey.

I have a recently manufactured Smith & Wesson 686 .357 Magnum with 6" barrel. It is a great gun but I hardly ever shoot .357 Magnum. Mostly I shoot .38 Special at paper or steel targets. Does anybody know if it is possible to get a .38 Special cylinder for it? Would the S&W shop do it? Are there...

I made about 60 rounds of .44-40 reloads and even though I made a dummy round that chambered just fine, and I also checked the first several live rounds and they chambered fine, in the end I had about 20 rounds that would not chamber. I am assuming it was a crimping issue and I wrinkled the case...

The local gun shops have some new S&W revolvers. Is there any reason, besides the extra shot, to prefer the 686 Plus seven-shot revolver over the regular 686 six-shot revolver? I am kinda liking the six-shot a little better. There is a bit more meat between the chambers. Plus I am just used to...

A local gun shop has a Stevens Arms Co. 311 D double barrel 12 Guage shotgun. It has a color case frame that looks like tiger stripes and a wood stock that might be beech. I could not find any serial number on it. Are these good guns in terms of function and durability? Given that it...

Would it be feasible to make a smooth bore barrel for a cap n' ball revolver so it could be used with shot? Would such a gun be effective for small game and pest control?

I have a 1956 Winchester Model 94 .32WS that the forearm is a little loose. It was really loose because the front barrel band and barrel band screw threads were stripped. I replaced the band and the screw and it's a lot better but still not right. Are there any tricks I can use to tighten it up?

I am trying to find an accurate load for a Uberti Flattop Target .44-40 single action revolver with a 7 1/2" barrel. Not too concerned with velocity, just trying to find the most accurate load possible. I have access to the following powders, which one would you recommend? PS. I would be happy...

Did these two forums shut down? I was a member of both of them but had not visited them in a while. Now my computer says they are not secure and will not let me go to them.

I saw a gun today, it was a Smith & Wesson Model 34-1 .22lr. I have mostly reproduction Colt style single action revolvers, mostly percussion and a few cartridge. I know nothing about double action revolvers or S&W's except that this was a neat little gun. I have looked up prices and I think the...

A local gun shop had some CCI Magnum Small Rifle Primers No. 450 in stock. Can these be used instead of small pistol primers? I currently use CCI Small Pistol Primers No. 500 for .32-20 smokeless loads in a Uberti single action revolver as well as black powder loads in an old Colt Bisley. I was...

This would be a really neat flask for the field. It has the regular powder chamber plus a chamber for balls and what's really neat, a threaded container on the base for caps. Has anybody ever made a repro of this type of flask? POCKET POWDER FLASK WITH PERCUSSION CAP MAGAZINE — Horse Soldier

The other day I was looking at a new Marlin .45-70. It's new but the gun seller said it has actually been in the store for a year or two. I looked at the bore and it did not look quite right. Today I went back and looked at it more carefully. I wiped the dust out of the first two inches of the...

A brief history. A while ago my Grandpa gave me an antique Winchester 1894 Sporting Rifle .38-55 which I shot with black powder loads and the primers backed out. A while after that I bought a 1956 made Winchester 94 Carbine .32 Win Special which I shot with factory smokeless loads and primers...

I am going to start casting bullets and reloading for a Winchester Model 94 in .32 Win Spec and an Argentine Mauser in 7.65 x 53. I have the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition and I see that these take gas check bullets but I don't see which sizes. What size or sizes of gas checks should I...

I was given a Winchester Model 1894 Sporting Rifle .38-55 that was made in 1894 or '95. It has been refinished. I know it's black powder only, I made a few bp rounds, shot about 9 of them and some of the primers backed out. I also checked it with the method where you insert a spent primer into a...

Seller says it was made in 1957. I think that's got to be a mistake. I think the first mass produced repros didn't start until 1958 or '59 when Gregorelli & Uberti introduced the 1851 Navy and the Griswold & Gunnison .36 caliber revolvers. This particular revolver looks to be a Replica Arms...

I'm looking for comments regarding the accuracy of the various Uberti pocket model replicas; 1848 Baby Dragoon, 1849 Wells Fargo, Pocket Police and Pocket Navy. According to the Dixie Gun Works catalog... The 1848 Baby Dragoon and 1849 Wells Fargo both have: .31 caliber. 1:48" twist. Button...
