    Low inventory or no inventory

    Wow, seems like inventory is non-existent from so many of the typical firearm outlets including percussion and cartridge revolvers. "Backorder" or "Out of Stock" is plastered all over so many websites. Sure, the pandemic has put a whammy on factory production and transportation/delivery. Then...

    1862 Pocket Navy conversion to .380 ACP?

    Uh, no loading gate = FAIL. Not that I ever load with the muzzle pointing up but I don't carry a bubble level with when shooting either... LOL o_O Kind of funky looking. https://www.shootingtimes.com/editorial/cimarron-model-1862-pocket-navy-conversion-380-acp/370997

    EN Santa Barbara 1858 - Recommended Mainspring

    Anyone on here with a EN Santa Barbara change out the crazy overpowered mongo factory mainspring of their 1858. I'm afraid if I actually tested the mainspring tension using my trigger pull gauge I'd break it. It's crazy strong...seriously! If you swapped it out I'm curious if a Uberti or a...

    BP Revolvers - How heavy is too heavy for you?

    From time-to-time I've seen comments/complaints about the weight of certain BP revolvers. Thought I'd post the actual weights of some of the BP revolvers I have in my collection. I included a mix of model types, manufacturers, barrel lengths and metal types. Keep in mind, the weight only goes up...

    Poll: Man w/ No Name revolver: SAA or 1851 Conversion?

    Which MWNN style revolver do you like better? The 5-1/2" barreled SAA 45 Colt from Fistfull of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More or the 7-1/2" barreled 1851 conversion 38 Special from Good, Bad & Ugly? Of course they have to have the inlaid snakes! Personally, I like the conversion model which...

    Are ASM and Uberti the only ones to make Dragoons?

    We know Uberti makes the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Whitneyville Dragoon. I don't recall seeing a Pietta made Dragoon. Which models of the Dragoon did ASM make?

    Shared parts between Ruger Old Army and Old Blackhawk

    Curious to know where you could find a list of gun parts that are common between the two other than the grip frame. Talking about things like screws, springs, clock works, sights, etc. The old model Blackhawk had the three screws and no transfer bar mechanism unlike the new model.

    CSA replica pics...and other....

    I was visiting with my brother over the holidays and asked if I could see a few of his more recent CSA replicas as I was interested in 2017/2018 Pietta vs Uberti made revolvers. Just for grins I took some pics and thought I'd post them. Nothing too exciting but here are the ones he brought...

    Any historic cannon experts in here?

    These two cannons (known as Tom & Jerry) have been on the campus of Clemson University (a former military school) since the 1950's. There's not much known about their history other than they were made in the mid-1800's and they are 6 pounders. I was curious to know if anyone knows the...

    Found this hidden under Colt 2nd Gen foam insert

    So y'all know I have a second generation Colt 1862 Pocket Police revolver. It's actually a part of one of those 1-in-500 cased sets made back in 1980. Anyhow, it came with the original cardboard boxes for both the revolver and the accessories kit and I found the following belt buckle hidden...

    Learn something everyday...3rd Model Dragoon

    I didn't realize until today that Uberti manufactured both a civilian and military version of the 3rd model Dragoon revolver....the military version set up for shoulder stock mounting.

    SNAKE(s) on Cimarron Man with No Name Conversion Revolver

    So I noted that Cimarron offers the Uberti made MWNN conversion revolver with and without the silver inlay snake on the grip. From what I can tell the ones that come with the snake always and only have an inlayed snake on the right side grip. However, I came across THIS OLD LISTING that shows...

    THR Pocket Revolver Club

    Membership is easy...just post a photo of your pocket revolver. It might be a Pocket Navy, Pocket Police, Pocket Model of 1849, Baby Dragoon, perhaps a snub nosed avenging angel or even a snubbed Remmie, etc. I'll start....

    What's up with ORANGE grips on Colt 2nd, 3rd gen BP revolvers?

    I've seen so many orange looking grips on Colt 1970's through 1980's BP revolvers. Is there some sort of history behind the orange-ish color? I personally like the darker mahogany and even the red mahogany or red cherry color grips that have the same color as you'll find on furniture. It's...

    On your Colt replica...how did you adjust the elevation?

    So I've seen some folks put a taller front sight on a ROA to lower the elevation but on a Colt replica what technique if any do you use to lower the elevation? Do you just aim lower....how many of you file the notch deeper in the rear hammer sight?

    Which black powder flask is the best and why do you like it?

    I never bought a BP flask and opted to use the adjustable Thompson Center U-View measure as shown below. I simply set it to number of grains I need then use a 2.2cc scoop to fill it up before pouring into the revolver. And, no...that powder bin is not open when shooting. Anyhow, I wanted to...

    Source for .380 lead balls or for that matter any size....

    Curious to know who here has the latest source for best pricing/quality on lead round balls. Specifically, I'm looking for .380...I have plenty of .375 for now. Anyhow, rather than take the usual and more expensive path of Hornady, et al. I wanted to see if you've got a private source. Ebay...
