I just snagged a 13 year old Armi Sport Kentucky long rifle in .45 cal. What amazes me is this rifle has a 1:36 twist. Manual recommends a .440 RB with a .025 patch ? Sounds like a bit thick on the patch but when i get the rifle in the mail i'll slug the barrel and find out for sure. Also states...

Bling! Heh, i scored this pistol yesterday and felt the need to share. I found a good deal from a great person who was in need for my Mini-14, so we traded. Vintage 1973 :D

I shot the 1858 today and the first two cylinders were very accurate to point of aim. After that thru to 8 cylinders full the accuracy dropped off dramatically. Anyone here swab their barrel and does it help retain accuracy ? I'm thinking of trying ballistol in between each two cylinders full.

I received the Tower of Power Cylinder Loader today in the mail. I hurried to the range and to my delight, this is a quality piece. I'm amazed at the feel I get pressing the ball into the cylinder. Sometimes when I would use the lever on the pistol, i would over press the ball and slightly...

Finally got a chance to shoot three of my black powder pistols today. Two 1858's and a 1860. :D I used my home cast round ball, Goex FFF and #11 caps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukh5PpORSGc&context=C4d14b81ADvjVQa1PpcFNC70VKjWmY6LSTu4PsXST9zk7BOBrKcTs=

I just had to jump in here and make mention of Dick Dastardly. I ordered a Tower of Power Loading press from him this evening. I have a pistol that i knew the press would not work for with the size of arbor needed on the press to fit the cylinder. I called him personally and spoke with him...

I just aquired a Pietta Model 1858 New Army Stainless .44 revolver. :D This is my first pietta to the collection. Uberti's are the norm in my collection but this one popped up here locally unfired LNIB.

I have a brand new in the box blued Ruger Old Army with a manf date of 2006. It's so dang nice I can't stand it. I'm getting to the point that it's driving me nutz looking past it everytime I choose what to take to the range. More to the point, I can't bring myself to fire the first shot through...

Snagged a Uberti/Cimarron Colt .44 1860 Revolver on Gunbroker. I put in a bid at a low price which was just enough to trip the reserve and i'll be darned if it didn't stick and i WON! This pistol normally sells for $340 and i snagged it for $226 and not to mention it's new and unfired. Love the...

Midwest Gun has a great summer sale going and something told me when I decided to enter the building that I wasn't walking out empty handed. I was prepared to be in the "windows shopping" only mode (yeah right!). I sold my Vector AK-47 to a forum member a while back and since then I've been in...

I'm finding that it would be cheaper to purchase bullets and sabots for my muzzle loader separately. Currently I'm shooting a 240gr Hornady XTP pistol bullet in a MMP sabot. Is anyone else here doing the same thing and if so, what combo are you using with good success ? Also I'm thinking...

I just run across a couldn't refuse deal on this pristine Traditions Hawken .50 cal muzzleloader. I've got quite a bit of time and experience with black powder pistols but this is my first muzzleloader rifle. I was always debating between the newer inlines and these replicas of the olden days...

It's just a sign of the times and we better make haste to get ourselves ready for the inevitable. America had a chance and voted it away. And when he turns the US over to the world court you can kiss your freedoms good bye forever.

I have to tell you guys.... Me and the wife went out to the range and fired our Uberti Dragoon today. Now my wife has never fired or seen a BP in action before. I let her take the first 6 shots. After the very first shot she had a smile that was ear to ear! After she emptied the cylinder her...

I just finally recieved my new Ruger LCP from the local fun shop today! After work tomorrow I will hit the range and return here to give a report of the LCP's performance. The LCP tucked away nicely in the Desanti Nemesis Holster LCP portrait

Now the wait begins... I just purchased this Uberti / Cimarron 1848 3rd Model Dragoon. It should show up at the door step Monday. I almost went with a Walker this time but this Dragoon just jumped out at me. The Walker will be next on the short list I'm sure. This Dragoon looks to be so nice...

I just aquired the XD-40 service model in the middle. I can't help it, I just can't say enough good about the XD's. The 1911 grip angle is the high point for me with these. top to bottom / XD45 tactical - XD40 service - XD40 sub compact

I just wanted to note that I'm really amazed by the ever growing value of the Russian SKS. I checked on GunBroker and their going between $450.00 to $500.00 now. I have a very pristine condition Russian SKS that at one time I thought of selling but I think I may keep it in the safe.

Geez, I would like to have 2 of these! :rolleyes: http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=90463010
