Cylinder bore shoots any type of shot, ball or slug. Pattern density is usually achieved by choking. As the 20 is already smaller bore than 12ga, would it be correct to say the shot is already leaving a smaller muzzle and therefore already "choked" down anyway? I want to stay cylinder bore if...

SXS stamped Newcastle, looking for parts. Recent acquisition, never heard of newcastle before. Anyone on here familiar with thesr guns?

If I had a .464 rifle barrell to drop in my TC Hawken, I could shoot patched .454 Ball, which I use in my revolvers. Would anyone know where to get a barrell made like this?

Paper patching round ball to achieve a more precise bore-fit. What thoughts on this? Can use multiple layers, etc

Lanolin is shop handcleaner comes with or without pumice grit. Any thoughts on using the non-grit for patches?

Bought an old 40-inch LongTom 12gauge on auction site. Love old single-shots. Remember being 12 or 13 and going to Turkey Shoots using a LongTom owned by close family friend and it threw a great dense pattern of #8 shot on target with a 2.75" load. Deer hunted with that old Longtom back in...

I have several BP guns and several cartridge guns. I am finding over the years, BP gives many advantages, but not many folks show up at the range with BP guns. I wonder about it. *I can change loadings on the spot. The rammer is my loading press and an adjustable measure is always handy...

1916 Small Ring Mauser, cock-on-close, carbine length, two lugs, no safety-lug other than bolt handle. Many with spruce stocks. Many surplused from Guardia-Civil-Police, most rebored from 7x57 to .308 CETME, receiver marked Oviedo. These are not "98" actions. The .308 CETME guns will chamber...

If you reload 7.65 Argentine, 7.7 Jap, .303 Brit, 7.62x54R and 7.62x39, bullets of .311 / .312 are essential. These are all great cartridges. The supplies seem to be going away. Does anyone have any news on this topic?

.58 Cal late civil war production known as Remington Contract Rifle, great gun. Does anyone know why they call it Zouave?

I meant to spell it DEER when I created the thread. 30 years ago a friend won a raffle, and his prize was a very new looking (mint?) Norinco SKS with a chrome lined bore. I traded him a .22 pistol for it. I had never fired an SKS but I had owned a Ruger mini-30. The SKS shot very reliably...

Bought one on a Palmetto site closeout sale for 124 new in box. It seems like an 870 clone. Cant find much info. Want to change out stock and forearm with 870 wood. Will Remington 870 parts especially stocks and foreends interchange with JTX?

Bought one when they first appeared on market, mine has DAO trigger, excellent pocket gun. Very safe gun. Surprising accuracy the .380. My range instructor grabbed it on day one litterally out of box, hit steel targets at 70 yards consistently. Amazing, but he competes internationally so go...

I have acquired a .45LC Stevens Low Wall. Cant find any info or data. Seems like a lot of power for a lght action. Looking for info and safe loads for it. Low wall is a swinging block light action normally built for small cartridges. Was this someones custom build? Very good looking build.

I have been looking. I'm finding vendors. I want a plain field grade double flint in 20 gauge. Would go 16, 12 or 10, but the cost climbs significantly. I like 20 alot, so have settled on 20 anyway. Costs on these guns ranges from 6 to 1600. Has anyone on the site purchased any of these...

I've been interested in Henry Rifles with Brass Receivers. I like the look of the single-shot break-overs in .308 and 45-70. Is it possible the brass receiver will move or stretch or go out of spec over time due to the pressures of center-fire cartridges such as the .308 and .45-70? Brass...

Purchased an old damaged CBC151 single shot 12Ga. These were K-mart / Economy-grade guns sold in the 1970s. Stock-woods were often Imbuia. This purchase had good metal, good bore, solid lockup, but the stock and forearm we're deeply cracked in several places. Soaked it with acetone and went...

Supporting the shooting sports means helping those who protect us as responsible gun owners. NRA does serious work. Sadly, not all responsible gun owners engage in support activities for the NRA. If we don't all come together and help, we will eventually lose the NRA and we can't let that...

I fail to see why anyone would ever consider a Democrat or a Dem-symp for any public office. There is nothing American in the Dem agenda. It speaks of a gun-snatch and a melting of basic civilian rights for a foreign agenda. I can recommend all gun enthusiasts to join NRA. Is there any other...

I found this in an article about Aviation engine oil. Many of us use alternatives to standard gun oils: "Multi-vis oil simply does not provide as effective protection against rust as single-weight oil. The defining characteristic of multi-viscosity oil — the fact that it doesn't thicken up at...
