New RCBS Rock Chucker owner. I thought I would start with 223 so I bought the RCBS FL resizing die set for 223. I didn't realize the shell holder didn't come with the resizing die and the local store only had Hornady 223 shell holders so I bought the #16 Hornady shell holder. Resized and...

My old man bought himself a Pietta Pepperbox. No instructions so he has no idea how to properly operate it. The big question is how the heck are you supposed to load it? Is there a special press loader or it or will a normal 36 cal press loader work? Hammer and a piece of rod? Patch and...

My dad and I are going to an Appleseed even and I decided I needed to invest in a 10/22 for the event. Pretty standard stuff for a Liberty training rifle. -10/22 Hardwood Stock $209 + Tax = $228 -Tech Sights, adjusting tool, 1" GI Sling + shipping = $86 -Crossfire 10/22 Magazine Release =...

I'm wanting to take a single shot Cricket 22LR and make it into a light weight backpacking rifle. I've seen commercially available kits that will remove the stock with a finger screw which allows the rifle to pack down into a tiny package. I've seen some other people on the net who have built...

Wife got me a Traditions Kentucky rifle for Christmas. Gave me something to do the week off I had between Christmas and the new year. Blued the barrel with Laurel Mountain Forge browning solution then a boil in distilled water in a trough I made from rain gutter. Stock was finished with Watco...

I'm building a Traditions Kentucky rifle kit. I originally planned on browning the barrel and leaving it a plum brown. After two days of browning I was left with a really nice plum brown barrel. I neutralized with baking soda and cleaned it off then followed it up with a second neutralization...

Got a Kentucky Rifle kit for Christmas from the wife. I decided on Laurel Mountain Forge browning solution to brown the barrel. I started yesterday morning at 7am. Upstairs bathroom is off limits right now for the family. I'll run the shower until the mirror fogs up and filling the tup 1/4...

I probably have about 400 rounds through my Heritate. I've shot it with a wide mix of Colibri, Winchester, Remington, CCI, etc. Bulk pack and better stuff. For the first 200-300 it was 100% reliable. Next ~100 I would get an FTF which looks like a light strike. Last outing I was getting...

I've come from a background of shooting semi autos and rifles so this question is partly based around ignorance of my 1851 and single action pistol techniques. When I naturally grip my 1851 Navy the back contour of the grip is pressed firmly in my palm and all 3 lower fingers wrap around the...

Lots of M39 fans on here so I thought I would share some pictures of my old M39. I'm far from an expert on Nagants and what little I do know is from what I researched on my particular rifle. About 14 years ago a local gun shop was closing down so I went there to see if I could strike a deal...

After playing with my BP revolver and reading a lot of the blackpowder forums I now have this desire to get a muzzle loading pistol. I'm the type that loves to tinker and build on stuff. What first drew my attention was seeing a ~$200 Traditions Kentucky pistol kit. After doing some research...

I have an old Pietta 1851 Navy cap and ball revolver that was given to me several years ago. If I read the proof marks correctly it was made in 1971. Someone put it up without cleaning it properly it sat in a humid closet for the next 10-15 years. In short it was a mess when I first got it. I...
