I have one in .45 and flintlock. It is a serious tack driver, but I'd like to convert it to percussion, only because I like to BP deer season hunt with hawkins look-a-likes instead of the inlines. My Kentucky weather during deer season is wet a lot of the time and I have to use my Traditions...

A few years ago I lost everything due to a bad divorce and business decisions. I ended up living at a cabin on a local lake. I was broke and all my guns had been liquidated. Because of tight funds, I went to a local gun store and bought a CVA brass framed .44 navy for $99.00. I had no idea how...

90 degree Kentucky humidity and on hot pavement no less. The town Ain't period, but we still walk the walk!!!!

Here is an original outfit sold at auction. I forget the web site I copied this from. I copied it because there was an ongoing discussion of whether anyone really ever carried a flask on their belt. This holster is for a dragoon, but they are basically the same wieght and size...BIG...:what:

I just sold a Taylors New Model Army Conversion with a 5 1/2" in .45. It shot really well and POA. It will not accept a uberti Reminton cylinder as they show in the adds. At first they (Uberti) said they came with them, but it never happened as far as I know. The cylinder is bigger O.D. to...

oops double post

Darn! By the title of the tread, I thought PETA finally sent my certification!:what:

This meets our re-enactors insurance requirments for Western gunfights.. 1858 Army C&B - 30 grains BP with over lay or cream of wheat or florist foam, compress with your ram rod and your OK to go. It also wooks great in the summertime for shooting Wood Boring bees if your out on the farm. ;)

Wasn't try to start an arguement here Smoking Gun, but do I see a fence on the other side of them Buffalo's? humm :cool:

I'm making an "Easterner" comment to make a point. And I want to ask MyKeal if he has ever hunted up there in Michigan. I have hunted all my life and there have been bad shots, unfortunatly, and great shots. It just seems "throwing out the baby with the bath water" with "stats" sounds a little...

I'm always amazed at the "eastern" hunters who will warn against round ball shots over 70 to 100 yards and go into ballistic jargon against it, when the 50 plus caliber Hawken was the mountain man's and mountain hunters choice for a heavy, hard shooting hunting and defense gun. Very few shots at...

One of the frame pins was loose in my Uberti '51 form the first day. I noticed it missing the first time I disassembled it, and the found it laying on the table. The next time, I noticed one was still in the frame, and the other was attached to the barrel assembly. The third time I forgot about...

In Kentucky, you can hunt with a BP revolver during muzzel loader season. I hunt with a .50 cal hawken and carry a .44 Remington copy not for any follow up shots, but in case a downed deer tries to get back up on me when I approach. I always make sure to reload before I leave the stand, but you...

If you watch COPS, us old guys, who wear pants around our waist, are catching those who have to HOLD UP THEIR pants while they are running. 'nuff said...:neener:

Open carry is legal here in Kentucky. CCW is permit required. Some areas are more receptive to open carry than other, more CIVILIZED, areas. (I say this with a smile) :) I'd like to hear from Arizona or New Mexico. I have some friends on the boards that would have me to believe EVERYONE...

I live in Breckenridge County, but am originally from West Point. The wife works at Ft. Knox.

Wow, I look at the rounds you folks are shooting and I can buy a nice used 4x4 with the money. 1911shooter has shot 18,198 rounds and if he only shoots the Wally world blazer brass at $12.98 a box, that is about $4927.00 in .45 ammo. :eek: I own and use a PT1911 for my sometimes CCW. I bought...

There is a video that has been on "wildest police videos" and on youtube, of a K9 officer fighting with a BG and the BG gets his gun, but it jams. Before the BG can clear the jam, the K9 unit pulls out his BUG and kills said BG. The statement about "getting done with what you have and not...

Madcratebuilder, I can only say those pics of that Patterson and it's sheath are AWESOME :what::what::what::what::what::eek::eek:

I had carried a 4" model 19, then a 4" model 66, then a 4" model 659, then a monster of a model 645 in 5". When I finally retired, I was carring a glock model 19 both on and off duty. It was a great gun to live with 24 hours a day because of the barrel length and it was just as accurate as the...
