The best prices that I have seen are from a guy on "E-bay" named Junkateer Jerry. I've never bought from him but his "ratings" are great, as are his prices.

The reason for the images all has to do with "Shutter Speeds". Today on the cameras we use shutter speeds are most like less that 1/60 of a second. Back in the mid 1800's they were as long 10 to 30 seconds plenty of time for some one to move into and out of a picture, leaving the "weak images...

No insult was meant, just a small jest, that was lacking on my part, please do forgive.

It's was once said about yachts " if one asks, How much does it cost? then its likely you can't afford it.

A colt model 1911, army issue, was offered to me "to buy", I checked the serial # and found that it was made in 1913 and yes it was made buy Colt, not springfield. The question is it legal or illegal to own a Colt stamped with "United States Property"? I was told that it had been taken home by a...

Well with saving for "reloading tools and supplies" right now, the cost of casting Bullets for Cartridges ( the basic pots, molds etc.) is one thing for muzzleloaders, but for cartridges I would also need a second press with built in lube and sizing dies. adds to the cost quite a bit more. Like...

For cost let me add some of my learning, I bought a set very nicely made with wooden handles that set me back about $50.00. They work well. I also was at a local Big Box Sporting goods store and saw a set with one driver handle and a wide selection of hollow ground tips 2 1/2 more sizes than my...

Well guys as to the reloading it's self, that seems like a neat hobby as well. But bullet casting with lead fumes, risks of really bad burns and such, well that thinking was only about costs savings. Now with fineredmist's suggestion I visited "Oregon Trail bullet company" web site and saw the...

A super find for your collection, congrads, but I must say I'm not at all comfortable with with down the bore pic's. They mean someone was pointing a firearm at themselfs or someone else. unless it was taken apart, or in use to defends ones home or family. a very bad habit to get into.

I've seen this question very often, and even with that I'm must admit I'm still a bit confused(but that's kinda normal for me anyway) on this issue. Dose anyone have a spread sheet or chart that clearly shows the difference black powder and substitute black powers loading guidelines. I've...

I bought last fall a "38/55" rifle. I had read a lot about what a sweet cal. these were to shoot with a very mild recoil, and it's true it's a wonderful rifle. The only down side is the ammo is very pricey. I've heard the same about 45/70s ammo, the firearm I'm saving for now. So it seems the...

Guys thanks for all the help. Yall were right the "Uberti" wedge was a little wider and works like a champ. It was a little to wide, but not a problem. I have a 16 year old son that could never figure out why I'm so picky about my "files". So I showed him how to use and the value of a good sharp...

Nate Maybe its just because I love to tinker or repair things. Maybe its because I love cap and ball revolvers. the cleaning part I find relaxing. I do it just as you did, plug in a dvd and watch it as I clean. But for the most part I think its all in the way you are "thinking" of cleaning...

I'm just starting to learn about reloading and wish to take this up as a hobby. I have been doing a lot of reading on the "how to", equipment and such. Also I have been doing a lot of web searching on "what to buy and where". I found this site; "Widener's Reloading and Shooting Supply"...

Just one word, "sweet"

I have two Pietti's a .44 cal 1860 colt and a .44cal 1858 Remi ( couldn't decide which I liked better, so of cource I had to be fair, I got both) I love them both, for their cost they can't be beat. The colt I got from Dixie Gun works, great people to deal with. The Remington from Cabela's, also...

acidic or alkaline??? it really dosen't matter does it? The "end effect" either way is if the firearm isn't cleaned properly it will be damaged either by strong acid or a strong alkaline. In example, I'm sure most of us have seen what a cars battery acid will over time to it's terminals (...

madcratebuilder, I belive you are correct. Just double checked the measurements and it seems that the Uberti is just a bit wider. pohill yes I'm pretty good at welding and I have been thinking of trying a little bead of silver solder on it if the Uberti wedge won't do the trick. I have also...

I have an 1860 colt replica made by Pietti Steel frame .44 cal. I had mentioned that the wedge on this one goes almost all the way in and was wondering if anyone knew where a wider wedge could be gotten? Someone had said that they thought that the wedges for the 1860 clots made by Uberti were a...
