I'm looking for a .50 or .54 cal TC Scout. I would prefer one of the special edition Cody Scouts or a Texas Scout, but will settle for a normal scout. If anyone happens to know where I can find one of these please let me know!!! Thanks!

I'm curious if anyone here has ever been personally been investigated for buying certain fully legal substances from a source like Amazon? I was thinking about (completely legal in most states) explosive gun targets being made with a mixture of ammonium nitrate 34-0-0 fertilizer (completely...

Hello everyone, i have an ambitious project i want to start. I've been doing lots of searching trying to find a 45 70 cartridge converted walker to no avail. However this website did come up a lot in the searches so i figured this is a good place as any to post this. What i want to do is get...

With help from a variety of resources to include The Fusil de Tulle in New France, I made this thing. A 20 gauge Fusil de Chasse patterned after a Tulle pattern musket of the 1740s. Everything but the barrel I made. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6EkZEJ0xZw

http://www.wideopenspaces.com/load-black-powder-revolver-video/ I wrote this as something of a guide for new shooters getting into black powder revolvers. There is a lot of good info out there, and some not so good. I try to set things straight here and I hope it to benefit forum members new...
