I'd like to hear THR members thoughts on this case. I'll link an article about Ward Bird who is currently in prison after a person trespassed onto his property, ignoring multiple postings and after refusing to leave, he threatened the trespasser with a gun. I think it's appalling that he's in...

I've been reloading handgun ammo for years, but just got an old Lee 12ga handloader and a big bag of federal 2 3/4" shells with plenty of #0 buck and Win209 primers. The only powder I currently have is American Select, just wondering if there's a decent load I can do for target and home...

Hate to see it go, but have to sell it and replace it someday ( that's what I gotta tell myself to make this easier...hahah ) Bought this from Taylors Firearms 3 years ago, Uberti Henry with sling swivels. Standard rifle model...paid $1300.... Includes box and papers. Rifle in in great shape. I...

Just needed to check in for some help......I've always loaded .452 RNFP 250 grain in my cases with homemade BP. A friend just bought a box of 500 .454 RNFP 250 grain...I'm not sure whether I can use these or if I need to return them.... Also wanted to get some tips on making bird shot loads...

Not sure if it's the right area, but since I only own BP firearms, it has some relevance..... I've always wondered how gun grips are made and if I could do it myself. Any links or descriptions would be great. What tools are used...etc I have wanted to be able to make figured grips for my...

I'd love to know how to make tomahawk handles, ( I use 19" ones for throwing hawks ) I'll buy a lathe this winter if it seems feasible. It gets expensive buying ash and hickory handles online and lately I get warped, over klin dried and knotted ones that break too easy. It seems like a basic...

Bought it last year, like new ( but I nickel plated the backstrap ) . It's from Taylors and has great CCH and some nice figure in the grip. Message me and I'll email picture. Includes box. $310 includes shipping . I have 100% ebay feedback and 100% gunbroker feedback too....

I will post pics as soon as I can.....This is my friends Henry by Uberti, not mine....From what he told me I think the follower must have caught on his backpack as he lifted it out of the tailgate of his truck when camping...3 or 4 rounds fired inside and mushroomed out the magazine. It's...

Incase anyone is interested.... here's my listing http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=113583151 Uberti char blue 1849 pocket .31 from 1995, mint other than blue wear and surface rust on forcing cone. I never use it.....hate to sell it, but need to.

I finally got a mold, the lee 2 cavity, .452 RNFP mold, 255 grain. They're coming out nice, but I've never cast anything but roundballs before. How do I fill the lube grooves??

Check out Uberti's new site, looks great! Prices are all up though.... http://www.uberti.com

I never had much luck fixing scratches or refinishing until now. My new Uberti Henry 1860 had some rough edges from the factory, a scratch when new and a few since using it. I thought I'd try Formby's tung oil to have a better finish and a maintainable finish I can sand and touch up whenever...

I've cast my .457 roundballs as long as I've been into BP revolvers and now I'm thinking of casting my .45 colt. I want RNFP 250 grain. Anyone recommend a good mold? 2 or 6 cavity would be good. Also I'm new to casting anything but pure lead roundballs. What alloy should I use for .45...

Anyone here in Maine? I'm thinking of a trip to Kittery for Remington caps and other supplies and wondering if they carry Swiss BP. I've never tried any, but would like to compare it to my own BP. I'll have to pick up a chronograph this year, it'd be useful for alot of reasons, one of which...

It looks like Beretta will be sending me a refund this week for my Gold Rush rifle. I sent it to them in December and it was defective. The said they'd send me a new one when they came in.....4 months later, no sign of new ones coming in, they suggested a refund. Kinda weird that they can't get...

Before I go ahead and order a .454 mold, I bought a box of .454 balls to try in my Walker and Dragoon. They load and hold tight, but don't shave any lead. Is that good enough? They load easier than .457, so if the lack of shaving lead is ok, I'll stick with them. There should still be...

How would I go about removing the blade sights if needed? Is it fairly easy to remove and put a new one in? I've been tweaking all my revolvers lately, filing hammer notches, front blades..etc and I'm thinking that the Dragoon is just too off center filed since I got it. A new one may be...

I've had my Dragoon a few years and now the new Walker. I'm wondering if there's any common modifications or adjustments you might do to improve the actions. I polished the internals, honed the forcing cone ( has rough edge from factory ), polished the bolt and I'll be filing the loading lever...

The nipples on my new Walker don't hold #10 caps tightly at all. The ones on my Dragoon do. According to VTI, they are the same part, but it's obvious that the Dragoon nipples are wider and the will fit the Walker. Does anyone know where I can buy replacements to fir the Walker that will work...
