    Got probably the last Goex blackpowder….

    Started making my own black powder years ago. But I will miss the cans.

    Guns you don't like...

    FN PS90 But only based on looks, I've never actually fired the gun. Ironically I own an FS2000 which is another Scifi looking gun that I think looks "cool". ...but I'm not a fan of shooting it.

    I cast my own bullets and make my own black powder. It's just too cheap, easy, and convenient to do. ...I do buy caps. So.:) I also use warm water and Ballistol to clean my guns, because I'm an odd animal that actually likes the smell.

    Recommendations for first black powder revolver?

    I don't know. I like the way Uberti marked the guns I own. On both the Walker and Army its on the underside of the barrel discretely under the loading lever. I like that better than the way Pietta marks theirs on the sides of their barrels. I've never heard of a lawsuit against Uberti for...

    Uberti They put their modern markings on the bottom of the barrel it's not as bold and you have to look for it.

    Recommendations for first black powder revolver?

    That's a great price on the Remington '58, with extra cylinder included! I can't remember ever shooting a Piette Remington. What's the build quality? The one thing I don't like, and it's a minor aesthetic feature, is Piette's insistence on making the modern markings so visible. "Black Powder...

    I wonder why it is that often it only rears its head until after it's been fired for some time. Why wouldn't it show up right away as a problem. My Walker shot perfect for quite some time. Then it started locking up. If the short arbor is the problem, it didn't shrink over time, why didn't...

    I'm thinkin' I might want one of these

    Quite frankly I think I expected too much from this kind of firearm. It's more of a 10-yard or close-quarters gun. I think 25 yards is probably asking too much. I do wish they had the longer barrel version available. That one with its longer barrel and simpler duel hammer mechanism is more...

    Diablo 12 gauge black powder pistol from American gun craft!

    I'm looking forward to it. You'll be the first YouTuber to post a video of it shooting targets. It's definitely a cool looking little gun, and the price is reasonable if it has any actual use.

    Diablo 12 gauge black powder pistol from American gun craft!

    In every video where this gun is shot, they seldom show a target being hit, I've seen a pumpkin hit at point-blank range and what looks like some sort of white wall or perhaps a sheet of styrofoam at about 3 feet. It's also odd that in every video the different YouTubers make the point that...

    Diablo 12 gauge black powder pistol from American gun craft!

    I mean no offense to Shotgunnation, but in the two videos you've posted so far, you haven't shown any practical shooting. I've no doubt that you can make it go boom, I also have no doubt that at point-blank range it'll put a hole in a pumpkin. But what will it do at 15 yards, or at 25 yards...

    Transporting Black Powder

    I make my own black powder. I bought a case of cans like these to store my bp. https://www.houseofcans.com/metal-containers/screw-cap-cans/oblong-cans But I also use old commercial cans as well. They probably keep down any conversation if that's what you're concerned about. Although I've...

    I remember seeing a Union soldier's uniform from the1860s, complete with boots and gloves. I don't think most middle-school boys could fit into it today. It was made for a correctly proportioned tiny man. The curator told me the uniform would have been considered rather large in its day.

    Recommendations for first black powder revolver?

    The Walker was a monster when the average American male's height was less than 5' 7". One thing I find awkward about the Walker isn't the weight, it's the tiny grip. It feels way too small in my hand. But is evidence of the size of the people in the 19th century. They were much, much...

    Don't get me wrong, the Army is a curvy sexy thing.

    I really don't find the Walker's weight a problem. I've often heard that said, but having more mass in a revolver isn't a bad thing. Besides once you get used to the Walker, the 1860 Army will feel light. ....almost a girl's gun.:D

    Has anyone built a Ferguson Flintlock Rifle?

    Great video on the history of the rifle. In this video, as well as the one above they explain a couple of flaws with the design. In this video by Forgotten Weapons, he says one major flaw with the design was not making up for the wood removed from the stock for the breech plug screw. It made...

    Has anyone built a Ferguson Flintlock Rifle?

    This was a very interesting video on the rifle, I thought I might put it here for others to see.
