If I wanted to have a barrel made with rifling that matched an original Remington New Model Army, what would the specifications be? Thanks,

Here is a video I made on how to replace the front sight on a Pietta Spiller and Burr. https://youtu.be/kdVWLCbIxzk Steve

He hasn't been around since 2016. Hope he is OK! Steve

Hi folks, I made a video that details the basic equipment you'll need to get started shooting in the North-South Skirmish Association: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QaPFHIFKbo

So I had this Pedersoli P1853 Enfield that has been sitting in my gun rack. Shot great but not better than my custom competition barreled Enfield. Fellow popped up on the N-SSA forum who had a Pedersoli 1859 Sharps Carbine for trade for a Pedersoli 3-band, so it was perfect. Now I have to...

I have an Armisport 1842 that shoots about 4"-6" to the left at 25 yards. To hit the bullseye, I have to shoot "in space" to the right of the bull. I would like to investigate bending the barrel to bring the point of aim into compliance. I have thought about grinding off the front sight...

Last weekend I was at a competition at our usual skirmish haunt, the range at the Brierfield Ironworks State Park. There is a gong on the right-most edge of the field about 120 yards away from the firing line, up on the backstop burm. I was shooting 25 yard revolver, which was set up on the...

I just noticed that Cabela's is running a sale on their P1853 Enfields: www.cabelas.com/product/shooting/black-powder/traditional-rifles-shotguns|/pc/104792580/c/104701680/sc/104641380/pedersoli-enfield-three-band-p1853-58-caliber-rifle-musket/1389476.uts $750 - hard to beat that price. The...

Anyone have a Pietta 1858 hammer they want to sell? Steve

You won't find new ones this cheap often...

Here is a video I made that describes making 1855 British Enfield cartridges: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzA9aXEyT-c Steve

I took Goex's listing of distributors (http://www.goexpowder.com/distributors.html) and made a Google Map that shows where they all are: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zJsZG0eZdDIU.kGBwZmCrrOjc&usp=sharing This might help you find a local vendor for black powder without having to pay...

I have compiled my information on making 1855/1862 US Expanding Ball cartridges and 1855/1959 British Enfield cartridges on a new web page. You can see it here: http://4thla.weebly.com/paper-cartidge-patterns-and-information.html Steve

So I got to the range this afternoon and tried out my new-to-me Uberti 1858 Remington New Army. I had loads worked up from 14 grains to 28 grains, 6 shots each of .457 round ball and Lee 90382 Conical. I intended to shoot wads for the first time, but clearly I don't know what I'm doing. The...

The Uberti 1858 I picked up has one nipple that has the shoulders rounded off so I cannot remove it with a nipple wrench. What's the best way to remove it? Easy out? Steve

Well, this last weekend I bought a Uberti 1858 Remington from a friend. I already had a Pietta. Both of these are pretty new - bought within the last 3 years or so. While I shot it the weekend I bought it, I have not had a chance to work up a load of a bench. Still, the gun looks promising -...

So I always get so jealous when every six months or so someone posts on here how they picked up a "broken" black powder revolver for like $20 and got it home and discover a broken cap inside or something and the end up with a nice new revolver for $20. Well, last weekend finally I got a deal...
