This one I got a while back. Had to have it as I had simply never seen one like it. Not saying there isn't one. It is pretty and cool. I guess that makes it pretty cool! It is an ASM imported by CVA and the barrel is stamped by both companies. It never had been fired. Of course I had to shoot...

Gentlemen, I have seen this topic come up on this forum so many times it's unbelievable. Let's face it, I find it hard to believe that with all of the companies that manufacture reproduction black powder firearms, I simply find it unlikely that they make their own nipples. I do not know this...

Gentleman, I am gearing up to do the old man triathlon this Saturday. 20 guys. 2 man teams. Names drawn at random. First event, bow and arrow at 20 yards or crossbow at 40 yards. Second event, black powder shooting at 50 yards. 2 shots per person. Final event, euchre tournament. Lol!!! I...

My Doctor (and life-long friend) handed me a BP pistol a while back and asked if I could make it shoot. It was a mess! Mainspring, ram-rod, sights and nipple were all missing. He said someone gave it to his boy as a toy. I dropped a light down the barrel and it looked good! Quite possibly never...

It seems some in the (break action) in-line world are adjusting their firing pin bushings for a "crush fit" (tighter headspace). There have been two instances reported with CVA's where the rifle discharged upon closing. The bushings had been adjusted a few thousandths (too much) to help seat the...

Thought you guys would want to know about this. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/10/20/remaining-lead-smelter-usa-closing/ :mad: Birch

I really like the "Spin jag" that TC makes as it won't tighten/loosen when running patches or ramming a ball/sabot home. Only one problem... the threads are brass. If you are in a hurry loading in the field and don't get a nice straight push you'll snap the treaded end off. I got lucky and was...

Just bought this pistol today. Got it from my pal and local BP gun shop owner Bill Hammond. This is a rare and strange one. Made by Bob Tingle of Shelbyville, Indiana. He passed away in 1978. His story from "Gun Digest" can be seen at...

Got range time in today tweaking my ROA. I'm getting there. :D Birch

I was just on the Cimarron site and saw this claim: "With Cimarron's Original® finish the replica cannot be distinguished from the 150 year old original without close examination." Does anyone have experience with this? Birch

Well men, I'm gearing up for a big triathlon next Saturday. Special invite only, 24 people total. Names are drawn and put into 2 man teams. Events are bow and arrow (cross-bows are legal), off-hand BP shooting followed by a euchre tournament. Each team shoots 3 arrows/bolts per round, 12 times...

Simple loading stand Built this several years ago out of scrap oak I had laying around for my Uberti/Colt/Walker. Works very well! (note the felt for the barrel & grip and the hammer notch to keep it stable). Birch
