    What is it

    There is a great looking black powder gun on the cover of the NRA store spring catalog. I have trouble distinguishing an 1860 from an 1861 when I can't see the bore, is there another way to tell them apart? The cylinder is strange, I am guessing a conversion. The grips are beautiful. I am new at...

    Now what is it

    I have a Pietta 1862 Army/Police. This was my first BP gun. I have put a lot of time into removing all of the bluing, defarbing and sanding the grips and I love the antique look of it. I recently swapped my 1851 cylinder onto it and it works fine. I ordered another 1851 cylinder and I am going...

    Ithaca M37 Trench Gun

    I have a model 37 trench gun that was made in 1967. It did not go to Viet Nam at the time because it was one of the ones held here due to the rioting at the time and went to a Police Department just north of New York City. It came with the 1911 remington bayonet. At the time, the Army sent the...

I went to Cabelas and ordered the 1860 Army for sale for $189. with free shipping. When I added it to my cart it said that there is a promotion for a free...

    OK, now I get it.

    I started out a few short months ago looking for one Blackpowder gun. I now have an 1849, 1851, 1861, (2) 1862 colt replicas. I heard a lot about the Remingtons being the best gun to start with but I like the look of the Colts better. Recently Cabelas made me a deal I could not refuse on the...

    1917 Bayonnet

    I have a bayonnet that is marked Remington in a circular pattern and 1917 on one side. It is marked US and what looks like a pineapple and a bird, possibly an eagle on the other. These markings are on the blade right by the hilt. The sheath has a gf stamp. Without measuring the blade seems to be...

    What is a good book to learn about the black powder Colt's. I know that there is a lot on the internet, but I would like a book to be able to research models and variations and see pictures of each.

    Ruger Speed Six

    I have a .38 cal Ruger Speed Six with 2 3/4" barrel. I was told that I can change the cylinder to a .357 cylinder. Is it as easy as changing cylinders on that gun or is there more to it.

    Which are actual replicas

    I have a problem with wanting replicas of guns that I later find out were never made or were not made in that caliber. I want to get a 44cal with a short barrel. I like the 1851 Navy Sheriff, the 1860 Army Sheriff and the US Marshall. The 1851 Navy Sheriff is my favorite of the group. I guess it...

    Cylinder drag marks

    I might buy a replica navy revolver. It is a really cheap price because of drag marks on the cylinder. My question is what causes it and does it need to be fixed.

    Sharps Derringer

    I have a Sharps 4 barrel derringer with a 1859 patent on it. When you cock the hammer the firing pin rotates to the next barrel. I got this gun from my Grandfather. I was playing with it and the main spring broke. Is that spring available anywhere or can it be made? I have the broken pieces.
