Not sure what you mean by " But the wheel house of a saboted pistol bullet". Do you mean performence ? Most of us shoot loose black powder, and many just the round ball which is also cheap to make. :)

Scnibner gave a link that should answer any ones question about recoil. The OP didn't say he wanted the info for one gun over the other for home defence, target shooting, hunting, or what. I shoot mainly 12ga and can reload 3/4oz target loads [ the same as 28ga ] up to heavier than I want to...

My friend use to take his chokes out when we got to a station in SCs that had birds real close. He claimed the shot is lead, quite a bit softer than a steel barrel, so how you gonna hurt it. Anyways, he did this for years with no apparent damage to the threads on his barrel. I shoot just old...

I'm guessing, but back in the early 80s I made up a " chunk gun " with a 54cal, 1 1/8" across the flats, 48" long Bill Large barrel. He cherried out a mold to .542. With .020 patching I had to beat the ball down the barrel about 5" with a brass short starter. I don't think it was real round any...

In the past I've owned a 870, 870 TB, 870 TC, model 10, 11, and 31. Now it's just a 870 Wingmaster with a corn cob forearm I made. My first love are Remington SxSs. made in the 1800s and early 1900s. I have a 1873 hammer lifter, 1882 10ga with a barrel rifle liner for 40/60, two 1889s, and six...

Never heard of Long Tom shotguns unless you just mean long barreled shotguns in general. I have a 10ga 36" H&R single shot. Also had and sold a 40" Mossburg bolt action. Sears never made any gun, just put their name on them.

So my friend Dave and I are BSing in the shotgun room - everyone else was out shooting, and we got talking about George Digweed from England. For those who don't know he is a world champion about 13 times or so, not sure. Anyways, he's breaking clay pigeons at a 130 yards with 1oz target loads [...

JMHO, but Jack Lewis use to make a single shot pistol. The early ones used a Colt pistol grip frame, the latter ones a Ruger pistol grip frame. Colt was a flat spring, Ruger a coil spring. The flat spring model just about always fired. The coil spring one better have a fresh, new nipple. Maybe...

I have two 12" models, one brass and one steel. They're Pettias. If you'd like to buy the steel framed one text message me at 810-724-5582. It's been shot one cylinder one time. Three Franklins would cover the gun and shipping. Paul

Your analogy of sealing the powder when falling in a crick leaves a little to be desired. Is the cap and nipple sealed as good as the ball/cylinder ? ;)

Sell the gun and conversion cylinder together but ship separately.

3 - 5 birds ? Sounds like you're spraying and praying.

Good looking. Diffidently an improvement on the appearance of a gun the manufacture called a Hawken rifle. Maybe you could try some burnt black power rubbed on the brass to give it a whole lot more patina. .For steel I'd dab mustard on my knife blades, let it dry, rub it off under water with a...

Sorry, there are no positive aspects to the design. It looks like a piece of s!!!!. Period, and not from someone who likes historical looking weapons. I own more new weapons. Second, it would hurt to shoot it, so what good is it ? Third, what useful purpose does it serve ? So my knowledge and...

You could use " just " a bead - drill a hole in the barrel and tap it or if a tight fit use some Lock Tite.

I believe the 725 has a selective safety and either barrel can be fired first. Just about all clay pigeon shooters use the bottom barrel first. The recoil is more straight back so the second shot is quicker. Thomasss, have you ever shot a Browning 725 ?

I've seen some threads drift, but we didn't really need someones post about modern 45 autos in a muzzle loading forum. JMHO

Being a skeet and SCs shooter, I also like to see the leads, BUT not with trap. The angles aren't all that much. You just have to shoot it awhile and you'll do it automatically. Just stare at the bird, the rest will just happen. With a 30" barrel a 1/8" of adjustment on the comb will equal 4" at...

Can I make these following assumptions? 1. SXS have more of kick than all but single barrels. NO 2. 20 gauge shells would be cheaper and have less felt recoil than a 12. NO 3. Full and modified would be the best choke choices for all purpose application. NO 4. The BEST all around gauge...

I did one a year or two ago. I rounded the grip more than yours and really like the rounded grip. It just feels right. Looks like you're doing a real fine job on yours. Just looked again, your barrel is a bunch shorter than mine. Think I left 3" of barrel. I cut it at 3 thinking if I goof it and...
