I'm thinking of buying a .357 Sig caliber auto and my two choices are as above...anyone have an opinion (based on ownership...not what you've heard or read about)?

I have a .45 caliber TC Hawken percussion barrel laying around in my "shop"...was a freebie from a friend some years back. I won by auction a Hawken stock with triggers, all the metal and brass on it, including the tang with two screws (but no lock). Then I discovered there is a 3-screw Hawken...

I decided to clean the 1861 Colt I mentioned in an earlier post I picked up recently. Driving the wedge out was a little difficult...the Wheeler Delrin punch broke after the third light strike of the small brass hammer. Switching to the brass punch, it came out....all the way out...past the...

I recently picked up a TC Scout in .45 caliber but there aren't any loads listed for that caliber in the included owners manual...anyone know what the recommended loads are? This pistol is a beast!!!! :what:

Hi Guys I picked up a couple of BP revolvers this week and I have a few questions, First is a pic of a Uberti (from Navy Arms)..it's cased in a heavy wood box and am wondering if I paid too much? ($200) (I have no experience with Uberti revolvers hence the reason I'm asking) Second is a...

CANNON BALLS!!! BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS? It was necessary to keep a good supply of cannon balls near the cannon on old war ships. But how to prevent them from rolling about the deck was the problem. The storage method devised was to stack them as a square based pyramid, with one ball...

There appears to be an original 1860 Colt on Auction Arms ending on 1-10 at 11:10am Pacific Time with the last bid of $300...revolver appears to be in NRA Good condition (antique rating)...just thought I would let ya guys know...

Came across this Spiller & Burr with a steel frame on an auction site a few nights ago...anyone have any info on who made this reproduction?

At first you're going to ask what this has to do with BP...read on and you will see! Recently I made a deal with a gentleman to cast some 9mm bullets for him in exchange for wheel weights. Today I started melting down these weights and behold about half of the 35 pounds either didn't melt or it...

A penny auction site recently was ordered to pay out $15,000 in refunds to it's customers See full article from WalletPop: http://srph.it/btceWz If it can be done on penny auctions..imagine what could happen if this software tool was used on the gun auctions or Ebay!!!!!! I always pay...

Watching this movie for unknown-how-many-times I looked closely to see what revolver Kevin Costners character; Lt. John Dunbar, was carrying. I expected it to be a Colt 1860 Army but was surprised to see (through slow motion) it was more like an 1851 Colt. Octagon barrel...non-rebated...

Anyone ever sucessfully removed a breech plug from a percussion rifle and re-installed it? (other than in-lines)

Ok...so the Walker guys have their club...why can't we have ours? Here is mine to start it off!

I'm thinking about selling mine...from Navy Arms (Pietta)...still have the original box (somewhere). Only fired about 15 rounds through it...would anyone be interested?

Recently I was given 8 pounds of H335. In my reloading books where H335 is used for .223 Rem, using 55 grain bullets, I noticed top velocities are well below WW748 and AA2230. If WC844/H335 is a mil-spec powder for the 5.56mm, why is this powder used?

Interesting bit of history...reading through my book of the history of the Colt revolver up to 1940 there is an instructional pamphlet put out by Colt around 1860 or so referring to loading pistols, rifles and shotguns. It says, place the ball over the chamber and rotate it below the ram and ram...

I have one up for sale on gunbroker.com if anyone is interested. Just go there and type in Seneca...only one there at the moment...it's the one with the blueing wear on the forward end of the barrel.

Several years ago I picked up a pair of original, used, .58 caliber Huntsmans rifles. Been sitting in the safe ever since. My question is...what size ball do they use and are they patched or do they just use an oversized ball? What's considered proper for powder charges? Anyone have any...

Ordered two Lee .44 caliber molds (round ball & conical) for my two new revolvers. Midway shipped them out promptly...in a plastic (Tyvek) envelope!!! As to be expected, one mold was damaged (conical mold). Called Midway this afternoon and they are sending a replacement out right away...this...
