I bought one of the RIA .22TCM bolt action rifles not too long after they came out. The rifle had a terribly rough bore (machine chatter marks) so I sent it back to RIA in Nevada & they sent a replacement out. The second rifle was just as bad, if not worse, than the first so I returned it also &...

A little late to this discussion, but I picked up a 15-4 at a local gun show last weekend. Although I had some money in my pocket, I wasn't looking for anything in particular but have been toying with retiring my c.1927 Colt Officers Target .38 due to a crack in the forcing cone. An older...

My friend has bought a few antique collector's guns from them & has been well pleased. He always waits for the twice a year sale though, as they tend to be pretty high with their prices.

Not within the OP's timeframe, but the 1860s saw a gradual shift from iron to steel in rifle barrels.

I have a commercial Webley Mk.V with the six inch barrel, in .455 Mk.II. I cast a lot of bullets for my old British rifles &, even though I have a mold for the .455, I chose to buy bullets for the Webley from Bear Creek Supply in Waterford, CA. They do a 260gn HBRN bullet that shoots as well, or...

Empty cases can be sent through USPS, but there is an ITAR regulation that any rifle or handgun brass being exported requires an export permit.

It's the best powder I've found for my .22 TCM rifle.

Thanks for the tip, if all else fails I may contact them.

Thanks, but I want a lube-sizer die for my RCBS LAM II, not a push-thru.

I'm hoping to find a .316" sizing die to fit my RCBS Lube-Sizer, that size doesn't seem to be offered by RCBS or Lyman. Any ideas on where I might find one or get one made?

My friends in Australia told me that when their Government was doing the 'Buyback' in 1995(?) they were often paying prices much higher than market value. If a value was considered too low a number of selected people in the firearms trade were consulted to ascertain a correct amount.....this...

Most of the surplus ammo I've seen is Syrian. The PPU ammo is very good & reasonably priced.

Not quite correct, MLAIC competition does not allow for wiping between shots in events for military arms, or at least they didn't when I was on the USIMLT from 1999 thru 2009.

The Zoli-made Zouaves use the correct US musket nipple thread of 5/16x24. If a nipple flange sits too high insert a copper washer between the nipple & bolster.

I think the suggestion was to use a drilled out nipple in conjunction with a hose attached, so that the water in a bucket can be pumped back & forth through tbe barrel. Uncle Mike's used to make a barrel flushing kit that was essentially a drilled out nipple, a rubber o-ring & a length of...

They ship overseas all the time, I have friends in Australia & the UK who have purchased 'Nepal cache' guns from them & are very happy. With the untouched cache guns, keep your expectations low (as per the IMA description on their site) & you won't be disappointed.

I have a friend who used to be a Scout Master a few years ago, whenever he had a shooting activity coming up he would go by the CCI factory in Lewiston, ID & they would let him sweep up what had fallen on the floor.....he had to bring his own bucket! All good & safe ammo for the intended...

I had the Pedersoli Carleton pistol for a while, very accurate & comfortable to shoot. The main problem I had was that, unlike most underhammers where the nipple directs the flash directly into the powder chamber, the flash channel travels 90 degrees & unless it was really clean I'd get...

I agree, primers (& especially percussion caps for muzzleloaders) have risen in price much more dramatically than has powder.
