9mm makarov is alot closer bullet wise then the 38 special is. there IS a company that makes a pistol cartridge that uses a .375 diameter bullet, and it uses a standard style straightwall case. but from what little ive found, it would probably be to fat to use if it had a rim.

colt made 1911s have been the status symbol. just feels right to have a 1911 that says colt. nothing says colt more then the generic gi issue style 1911. people love to get old colts cheap and use them to create a high end 1911 from. when the package on the part says "made for all colt 1911s...

just buy what you want. There is nothing wrong with Taurus revolvers. They may not have your favorite pony engraved on the side but they are functional as can be. They may not be the same target grade as artilery style lugers, but they are more then useful. Certain models of taurus 357 are more...

lee handloader is simply a hand held reloading press. you still have to buy all the dies and other accessories you would for any other press. However their will be some limitations based upon case length with the hand loader. however, pistol rounds will work. since you have a 1858...

well colts original pistols were pocket pistols in .18 .22 and .24 calibers. as youll have noticed that iteration of colts manufacturing did not last long. the gentlemen back then felt that those calibers well, had balls.

do you want side lock or inline? from experience, traditions buckhunter pro cant be beat. seriously, old technology is good. it comes apart easy. its actually easier to clean that then the newer break opens ive tried.

did they say what racial group the skull came from? i do remember reading about SOME small uprisings among the europeans in the carribean basin/south america segment. thing is, the only records of iron projectiles among the spanish are CANNON BALLS for the small portable swivels the spanish...

any over and under shotgun on the market can be loaded like that. simply make sure the proper choke is selected for use with slugs.

who says they had steel musket balls? they had a hard enough itme making a universal caliber, well universal. roundball was non standard as well. why do you think the progressive thinkers made the bullet a whole size smaller then the bore?

heres the thing, i kinda need some help with an 1860. if someone could post a picture or two showing how far down the ball is when seated on 30 graisn of pyrodex p(sans filler or lube) and a second one showing how the rammer down on that roundball when seated id be rather grateful.

we need photos, as many as possible.. have you tried shooting it? wont really know how badly the barreled is screwed until you put some lead through it. how well does the internals function?

very common. theres a nice example of a converted walker or 1st model dragoon in northern mexico. the percussion cylinder that left the colt factory with it was used to convert it to rimfire 44 cf henry/44 colt 45 sw the only parts that changed was the hammer, and they simply got a new...

what you CAN do is simple get a black powder revolver that has teh ability to get a cartridge conversion cylinder in it. get a cartridge cylinder and load up shot shells. what i mean is, get that 12 inch barrelled 1851 navy that uses a .454 diameter bullet, get a cartridge cylinder for a...

you can always make your own. poorly or crudely or as fancy as you want. nothing is stopping you from making a bunh of apostleschargers if you want. handgun size was normal for mounted horsemen in the 15 and 1600s in hungarian regions. you can do wood, metal if you want. but heavily...

man this is like totally stupid. if i get this correct, its hard to follow. an employee is taking a used weapon and putting it into the new gun rack, selling it at new gun prices, and only giving the store owner the price for a used gun? and apparently taking new guns, putting it into...

the tc sabots should be fine. my traditions 50 calibers all seem to like the standard .495 diameter projectile down teh barrel. i believe the manual says what size diameter to use.

it wasnt the snipers, it was the standard infantry. it was felt the standard rifle round for the mauser when loaded base forward would provide almost the same penetration as the armor piercing bullets that they were having supply problems with. from all reports it did penetrate, and generate a...

the old bolt actions were made to be used ALOT. they had to function regardless of weather conditions. so many new rifles suck in smoothness. know the old saying for a mauser? " bolt feels like an oild glass rod sliding on a glass plate". mosin can have that smoothness too. so many budget...

no offense, but if you have odd sized hands, or any normal amount of hand and wrist control issues that stem from manual labor or from physical issue, a revolver is your friend. ive tried the "famous" glock, sw's, rugers, 1911s, etc. The autos all have three massive issues that even the...
