I have used both military lemon drink and Louisiana hot sauce to clean brass and copper. I learned that on mess duty from one of the cooks

I applied bore butter to a cylinder pin on a Colt and had a hell of a time removing the cylinder, Its probably my fault for not taking the gun apathy for an extended period,. I think bore butter is more of a patch lube. I now use original PAM to lube a cylinder. Try it. That tip came from...

This ol coot just grabs up a bottle of blue Windex and shoots some in the barrel, Cylinder and by that time it sits a minute while I'm getting dish soap and water in the bucket its ready for dunking in the bucket. I clean it pretty much as you described but I remove the nipples, When its all...

He does it a couple of ways. He uses a ball of cotton from a medicine bottle and places kit in the barrel he is not loading. The other wear is he uses the ramrod in the barrel he is not loading. He puts the ramrod in a barrel, pours powder in the other barrel, pulls the ramrod out and tamps...

Charlie Hahn I believe is a member of this forum. Charlie owns Charlies tubes, you can google and contact him. Id say Charlie is an expert on Sharps. He does a lot of work for rein actors. He worked on my paper cutter and I'm able to shoot a long time without swabbing the bore or cleaning...

I have a kit gun and shoot 70 grain of powder and equal amount of shot. It'd a gun that throws a group that others envy.Ive got a couple of friends that borrow it to hunt, successfully I might add.

I got a recommendation on 45 Dragoon from a man I respect. Are you the gunsmith that can tune up a Colt "slicker than snot on a door knob" If you are, Ive got a Walker that needs some attention. I bought it as new, never been fired. It has a lot of tight fitting parts. I want to get it...

Ive talked to Charlie Hahn about the loading of tubes,(he makes them and is the Charlie of Charlies tubes)..He is the go to man as far as Im concerned about Sharps Rifles. He always answers my emails and phone calls andy modified a paper cutter I have in 54 cal.

First off, Thanks for the information about the revolver. I had been unable to get the schematic from any of my researched sources. Ive soaked it on penetrating oil for several days. I now have the cylinder out, the grips off and soaking more. The only thing I've found in identity is the...

Trying to locate information on this revolver. Bought one in an antique shop and it needs a few parts. This was a primitive double action with a thumb safety and the loading lever is on the side of the barrel. I thought it was a clip to hang it on the belt or sash. Im missing the trigger...

This may spark some historical search. When I was 15, I broke both legs in a hunting accident. A neighbor gave me a book of Kipling poetry. One mentions a Snider, Seems the British , in keeping with their practice of arming native armies with their older technology had lost a few to some...

I see that there is a lot of trust in the Log Cabin shop. Ive got a Walker with their name on it. I called them and they said that they once had their logo on their arms.
