I have an opportunity to buy one of these at. a reasonable price. Due to a pacemaker placement full bore smokeless loads are out of the question.TrailBoss loads?? Bullet weights. Anyone load the standard 70 grain 2F under a ? Bullet and can comment of felt recoil. I have a loose powder or paper...

How interchangeable are parts on the Pietta revolvers. Could one expect the frame from an 1851 Navy in 44 steel be swapped out with a brass frame. Talking swapping a brass frame for the steel using the same barrel and grip frame of the brasser. Or would a Pietta 1860 Army frame swap out to...

Picked this up a few days ago in a LGS. Essentially a Pietta 1851 Navy fantasy gun in 44 caliber with a 12 inch barrel. Date code 1998. The grip frame is designed for a shoulder stock so the stock is technically not detachable. I could only find two instances of it by Googling, both of those...

A boxed Berretta PX4 CO2 pistol times 3. :) My three sons.

My shooting buddy is looking around for a NMA, seems most dealers are out of stock but Dixie Gun Works lists the following. Does some one know why the Remington NMA, stock # SS1173 Pietta, $995 is twice the price of the Remington NMA, stock # RH0090,Stainless @$495 or the Remington NMA stock...

Newly minted Johnson and Dow 44 caliber bullets from the Eras Gone Bullet Mold. Shiny little gems of pure (almost) lead. Loaded as is over 26 grains of 3F and a felt wad, top group in an 1860 Army Bottom is .454 Roundball.

Target at 50 yards. Left, 45C with various weight/style bullets with 3F. Taylor’s conversion cylinder. Right, round ball with same weight powder charge from percussion cylinder. It would seem the carbine prefers round balls. Neither is any good accuracy wise maybe a few hundred more rounds...

I’m trying to establish a load for an old Burnside Carbine breech loader. To date I’ve been using roundballs. But I don’t think they are an authentic load for this weapon. I have a box of bullets that came with the gun. Hollow base conicals of the correct diameter It would be difficult if not...

Started breakfast this morning. Little black specks in the box of Quaker Old Fashion Grits. Box label says this is normal. These looked a bit larger than normal so removed a few and laid them on the counter. Seconds later they had grown legs and were crawling off. I use grits as filler in...

Is there another way. ;) Instructions listed in an ad for once fired 45C cases.

Looking for opinions on the dollar worth of this. Barrel is marked 1851 Army 44 caliber. Late 70’s perhaps. Fellow at my gun club wants to sell. I don’t have one so I’m interested.

Loaded the van for some range time at 8:30 this am. Three rifles and Ammo for each. Picked up my granddaughter on the way. She came out of the house toting two bags. “Dad gave me some guns to bring” she said. At the range I set up for the rifles and while she was shooting I looked at what she...

Any one here have and shoot one of these Would appreciate any input in this pistol regarding loads patch and ball size. A 440 ball and .010 patch is a real tight fit. Hammer the rod down tight fit. Accuracy is good over 30 grains of 3F for the few shots I have taken Track of the Wolf lists a...

Hand loading Nineteenth Century Style. Single stage loading press. Load six, shoot, repeat. :rofl:

I’ve reached an age where possessions such as this get lost in time and memory. It was my pocket carry knife for a time, perhaps in the 70’s. Main blade marked Sryacuse Knife Co. Small blade marked 378 Product of Poland. The scissors are missing the spring. Never really found a use for that...

Rummaging around a drawer I found this “camp knife”. Cheap Japanese made Hobo knock off I assume. I bought it used in the mid 70’s at a gun show, it wasn’t new even then. Used it two or three times a year at game and steak dinners where the cutlery was plastic and the table ware paper plates...

No longer hunt but back in the day supper at the camp was often fresh deer liver, onions, bacon and brown gravy.Just hours out of the field it was a treat. Often the camp had five hunters so we would enjoy that several times during the week in a good year. Not all those there would eat it...

Any one on this forum fortunate enough to own one. Cap and Ball YouTube video shooting a Burnside has gotten me all excited about owning one. Not all that scarce just price. No reproduction ones just originals. Bucket list I guess. :(

GunnyUMC post on his pawn shop find jogged my memory of a set I had purchase in the late “80s” and stashed in the gun safe. By this time Western had been purchased by Coleman. I had been hunting in New Brunswick Canada and the required guides that worked for this outfitter carried a set up...

Been waiting the better part of this month for email replies from this Arkansas company. They straight up say COVID has delayed responses but a month............? I don’t do well on phones due hearing Issues so have emailed them twice. I’m looking for seals and a spring for the Winchester...
