    Well, that was a weird turn

    Back from vacation, spent WAY less, (didn't see that coming, didja? :) ), than I expected, so I decided it was time to pick up that Rossi RP 63 for a fun gun...then my loving wife stepped in. No, not like some might say, "She stomped her little foot and swore I would sleep in the doghouse if I...

    Jackrabbit comes through again!

    My Uberti 1873 Cattleman II Birds Head has been a bit of a headache from Day 1, with the sighting issues to start with. A buddy assisted with getting the revolver to shoot to point of aim, THEN the hammer stopped locking back in full cock! This was with MAYBE 300 rounds through it? Maybe not...

    What are the date stamps for Uberti 1873 revolvers?

    There is a relatively nice one at a local pawn shop I might try to talk them out of, BUT...I was curious on how to date how old it really is. It dates prior to the Cattleman II, I think.

    Taylor and Co vs standard Uberti

    I have learned that the Taylor and Company revolvers are Ubertis made to a higher standard - anyone here have examples of each who can verify? My very recent experience with Uberti hasn't been the best, and if I buy another, (only game in town for some models!), would the Taylor branded models...

    Dag. Nab. It.

    Don't get me wrong, I really like this little hogleg. Even have a holster on order for it. Here Da Boy tries it out after the last front sight adjustment. Could stand to be filed down a skosh, but it shoots pretty much POA for me at 10 yards. Not meant as a target pistol. When I had my...

    This is just funny.

    Years ago, I was at the East Texas Oil Museum, which was set in the period of the Daisy Bradford #3 well striking it rich...1930. The incredible indoor museum had a bunch of neat stuff; Yes, that's a Mosin And then THIS little gem in the barber shop display which instantly caught my...

    That thing nobody ever really thought about

    You know that during the emergence of the percussion cap, that many flintlocks were converted to caplock, as this superior ignition system took the world by storm...but what about switching back? What if you run out of caps...what next? Here's the answer, to the question nobody has asked in...

    Well, dagnabbit

    The wife went to work, leaving me and Da Boy unsupervised and all...scary thought, but here we were, and guns and ammo available...so, lets go shooting! Yeah, ha, ha, you funny. We forgot what weekend it was. See, with our weird schedules, the only reason I knew it was Thanksgiving was the meal...

    Possibles bag recommendations

    Like the title says, I am looking for two "possibles" bags, one for me and one for Da Boy. However, we have different requirements; I am thinking someday I will take my TC Renegade out hunting, some day. So I want something that will hold enough for a days hunt, and maybe enough for a day's just...

    A good day in one picture.

    Heck yes.

    You ever see something that, well, you just HAVE to have?

    Something that isn't a "practical" item, doesn't fit any "traditional" firearm niche, (self defense, hunting, competition, etc.), but just because "I wanna"? I walked into CAL Ranch two weeks ago with a few extra shekels jangling in my pocket when I spied this on the shelf. I held it and put it...

    Lee .38 Special dies for .357 Magnum

    Like the title says, I have been loading 38 Special for some time, but it looks VERY likely, (when I pay off the layaway), I will have a 357 back in the stable, a caliber I haven't owned since before I started reloading. Yes, I know I can shoot 38 Special out of it, no problem, but I might want...

    I know a real gunsmith

    I know a REAL gunsmith. The kind of gunsmith you read about, one who does things by the seat of his pants but with a micrometer at hand. May I present, LAGS. He can take this; And make this; To become this. https://youtu.be/mkRXBJBNDeU?si=vv0yyA6qVqShNfvh I got to fire both...

    That's a mildly interesting headstamp

    I thought I'd seen most 9mm headstamps, and certainly most of Speer's. This is new.

    Opinions, Rocky Mountain Reloading bullets

    I read from one person on another board about good quality stuff with their new "Nuke" line of JHP bullets, (they open up to look like the trefoil when expanded), and they have some others that would work well in plinking reloading. Prices are quite reasonable, actually low - anyone have...

    I am considering a new wheelgun...

    Like that is anything new on a gun board! But what I am considering is where this comes in - I am looking for anyone who has had experience with the Cimarron, (Uberti), Remington 1890 clones. I have a couple of the Uberti black powder revolvers that I am quite fond of, and for some reason the...

    Star cappers - where?

    So the question is, where can I order the 6 "rayed" star cappers for revolvers, good quality useful ones? I found something on line from Poland, wasn't sure if that was the right one, not reallly wanting to order from Poland right now. Any ideas?

    Paper on the line again

    I love my Remington New Model Army by Uberti. Used some paper cartridges at the line with Olde Eynsford. I'm sure that many people here are better shots, but I'll take that. Ten yards, two hand standing. Leftover paper in the cylinder and forcing cone. These are the Guns of the West kit...

    Ruger customer service - nice!

    Back story - I picked up a little Ruger EC9S used. Nifty little pistol, accurate, really like it, but it has a quirk that I thought might just be something that happens with micro 9s - full power loads lock the slide back 5 out of 7 rounds. After I asked around, it was suggested the slide stop...

    Well, there's something you don't see everyday...

    That's my 22 year old pain in the behind, with his GSG STG44 clone. Short story needed. I bought this for him back in 2016 when I got a windfall, and I was determined to buy him something while I could, before the money went elsewhere. I gave him the choice between the CZ Tacticool 22 and...
