    Information needed on muzzle-load side-by-side (?pre-civil war?)

    Just from appearances probably a Belgian made double of an inexpensive for the time genere. You will likely find Belgian proof marks on the undersides of the barrels.

    How would you go about buying a British shotgun?

    I second Jaqua's in Findlay Ohio. Google them and call them up and let them know what you are looking for. They will let you know what they have immediatly avaiable and send you photos if one interests you. They have a no risk return policy and want you to be happy. Good folks with a wide selection.

    Tristar Bristol SxS?

    Regarding the muzzle filing it would only have an effect on a solid projectile not attached to a wad. I have seen folks suggesting that method for shot loads completely disregarding the fact that the wads are still sealing the barrel after the shot has left and the escaping gas can only effect...

    Tristar Bristol SxS?

    Whoever wrote that was only rudimentaly aware of how double guns are made. Just on the subject of "regulation" they state that after the barrels are soldered full length a craftsman checks them for straightness and bends them to send a projectile true and to converge at a fixed point. This is a...

    Tristar Bristol SxS?

    Double rifles are regulated. SxS shotguns by any maker are not they are what is refered to as laid up. That is the maker has a specific formula for each guage regarding conversion of point of impact with most commonly used loads and their guns are laid up on jigs conforming to that formula.

    Tristar Bristol SxS?

    Actually the carbonizing agent whether cyanide or charcoal pack has nothing to do with either colors or how they are dispersed. That is all effected by the aerration of the quench. The Europeans use a rolling quench that gives the rainbow zebra effect. Here we use a bubbled quench and the...

    Tristar Bristol SxS?

    I have the silver 410 and like it a lot. Not at all bothered by the pistol grip or the single trigger, which is mechanical and not recoil set. You can generally find the case colord ones for around $930 and the silver for around $860 and they are a bargain at that price.

    57 year old Sheridan Blue Streak - who can rebuild it?

    Baker airguns in Mt. Victory Ohio can rebuild it for you. He also sells seal kits with a warranty that if you mess it up send it in and he will deduct the cost of the seal kit from the rebuild. The only difference in sheridan guns was a change in the pump head and baker includes one of each in...

    Simulator Training

    Patterned after the LE F.A.T.S system. Some really good training but pricey I would imagine for an individual. Used to cost us over a grand a day for usage. Ran some of the Judges and Defense Attorneys through as a courtesy. Amazing how many times they died or shot good guys. Changed some attitudes.

    Ruger customer service - nice!

    Bought a 10/22 target light. When I got it home I discovered a small split near the fore end. I emailed Ruger that evening and the next morning received a request for a photo. Sent a photo and within a half hour received tracking on a new stock.

    Ruger customer service

    On 12/31 I purchased a ruger 10/22 target lite to shoot rimfire challenge. On 1/1/23 I unwrapped it to install the sight base and noted a 1&1/2 in crack at the nose of the fore end. I took pictures and sent them via email to Ruger's customer service. At 10:47AM on 1/2/23 I received an email from...

    22 plinker suggestions

    Get an FN 502 comes supressor ready and optics cut with a 10 and a 15 round mags. Super trigger mine is 3lb accuracy is out of sight and they are no longer selling at a premium. Will run most anything except Federal match at 100%.

    Pedersoli Queen Ann

    You would be best served not to make that your first flintlock. They can be made to work but are not Pedersoli's best effort and they are very sensitive to flint size. Been there done that no longer own it.

    Glock Model 40 10mm

    I bought one and liked it so well I bought another. One has Burris Fastfire III and the other stock open sights. More accurate than I am and a lot of fun to shoot.

    Any High Standard Sentinel fans here?

    I have owned several 101 through 107 over the years. Made to be an inexpensive piece but they felt good in the hand and accuracy of all of them was beyond what should be expected.

    Double action CSX?

    I don't know how a takeup is crisp it is free travel. The pull on mine is 5&1/2 measured with my Lyman trigger gauge. I didn't notice any mush in the break and the lack of overtravel was important to my idea of trigger control. That said I like the 365 also and my brother is sold on it. To each...

    Holster wet molding

    No point in carrying this any further. You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to disagree. Just to clarify a couple of things. Vacuum molding does not preclude hand boning but makes it much easier with consitantly good results and many makers have gone to it from the former method of...

    Holster wet molding

    Nice try at twisting what I said. I said that all professional custom holster makers use heat to set the molding in wet formed holsters. I made no refrence to those making western style holsters or others that are not wet molded. I was not refering to only mass produced holsters although those...
