Here is a video on brass being annealed.

Got this from another site. Will post more later

Here is a youtube on black powder. Excellent information on our favorite propellant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yjepTZ-lH4

I have a Remington NMA which has a problem with the hammer and nipples. The nipples are being damaged by the hammer as it has too much travel. These are very short nipples so there is not an option of just chaning them out. Also the hammer shows impact damage. This pistol has been completely...

There was some discussion on these years ago, I wanted to find out if there are any updates on these or similar devices. Due to the shortage of caps of any type presently I was looking for some options. I have successfully made caps using the no 11 cap maker called Tap O Cap and the priming...

I am replacing the rear sight on a Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle, does anyone happen to know a brand of browning solution that will match or be very close to the original finish on these rifles.

Does anyone have information on the situation with large rifle primers? I can not find them anywhere.

I picked up some lead from a scrap yard, which I was told came from a gun crank's estate. These are 1 pound ingots, from the Lyman ingot mold. The guy thought it about 14 BH, and I have purchased lead from him for many years, good guy. When I put it in my RCBS furnace @ 760F, the dross was...

I am looking for a pusher for the front sight on a Uberti 1873 Winchester clone. The rifle has an octagon barrel and does not have a ramp. I see a lot of pistol sight pushers available, and Williams has the front ramp sight pusher but I do not find any pushers for this particular rifle. I know...

Has anyone tried to make caps using the Tap O Cap device and 32 ga. copper sheeting. I made 50 caps using aluminum soda pop can material and the primer mixture from Sharpshooters .22 LR reloading kit. The caps work well but the aluminum is not durable enough and it blows the center out of...

I have been looking for hot shot nipples for the TC Seneca/Patriot. I see Treso makes the nipple in the 12-28 thread .300 cone, but I think these are for black powder not Pyrodex. I have a quantity of Pyrodex I would like to use, and I think the Hot Shot would be much better than standard...

Does anyone have any experience with the Weatherby Imperial Scope, made in Germany? I am wondering about a 2 3/4 fixed power with a German reticle. There are several different German reticles, the main theme is a post, flat or pointed with a cross wire. The crosshair reticles moved the...

I have a Uberti Remington NMA in .36 cal. from 1974. The ball seater is contoured for conical bullets, however I shoot RB. Does anyone know if there is a source for a replacement ball seater.

I decided to rebuild an 1967 Marlin 336 RC .30-30 that apparently had a "used" background. No rust, great bore, but I have canoe paddles in better shape than the wood, metal was good as well. So after having the gun high polished, blued, and custom gorgeous wood in the long pistol grip, I have...

I am going to install a Lyman 17A on a Thompson Center Seneca. The Lyman sight is a little larger than the original sight base. Is this just a matter of putting the sight in a vise and filing with a triangular file, check with a caliper often, anything special about how to do this?

I have a source for replacement of the windage screw on many of the Thompson Center Seneca, Patriots, and Cherokee guns. The screw is listed on Ebay. Took a fair amount of time and at no small cost to get these made up. The main thing to remember on those sights is there is a small hidden...

Does any one have loading data for the 50-140 Sharps cartridge with Trail Boss powder, using a 550 grain lead paper patch bullet?

I have one of the H&R Officer Model Springfields. The rear sight, a folding tang sight, however mounted in a pocket in the wood behind not on the tang has broken. Does anyone have a suggested source for a direct replacement for this sight?

I recently acquired a unmounted Tasco Brass 1860 replica scope, but the mounts are missing. I believe it was made in 1976 and no longer manufactured. Does anyone have a suggestion where I might find the mounts for the scope?

A friend was asking me about a bore light to drop into his rifle. I let him borrow one of mine. I also shoot traditional archery and had some Nocturnal Lighted Nocks that turn on at loose. There is a tiny switch that is easily turned off when not in use. I also use them for my...
