    My afternoon with my Bobcat

    Well now that I have my CVA Bobcat back from my friend "I traded him my Traditions Yukon for my Bobcat back since he liked the inline better" & Last week end I took it out with him to get a feel for the old girl since this'll be my hunting gun. Man did she like the .490 .015 PRB's with 80gr. of...

    Whats your pet load in your C&B revolver?

    Hello all, I’ve been playing around with my Cap & Ball revolvers for some time & have come out of this experience that each of my revolvers has their own likes & dislikes in bullets, powder charges & caps. Since I’ve been mostly just replying to others posts I thought to give my info to you all...

    Help my friends..

    I've got a friend that wanted to play "gun smith" to his Pietta 1860 Army & really screwed up the hammer sear to the point that it isn't very safe. He said that he wanted to get a lighter trigger pull & no creep but he was using a FILE instead of a light stone & ofcorse did not check his...

    I've done it now.

    Yup Guys-n-Gals I've done gone & did it, I bought my self a 5-1/2" barreled 1858 Remington by Pietta today from Cabelas. I know I have been looking really hard at the 5-1/2" barreled 1860 Colts for a little over a week but every time that I would look at Gryms' Remy made me want one of those...

    Decisions Decisions...

    Hmmm I've replied to & admired the fine 5-1/2" barreled 1858 Remington that grymster2007 is getting & I've been thinking That a 5-1/2" barreled .44 caliber C&B revolver would be a nice addition to my small collection. I've narrowed my selection to: Pietta 1860 Army Steel Frame Black Powder...

    How bout some 1860 Army users.

    I see that there are quite a few 1858 Army fans out there "some probably due to ease of swaping out loaded cylinders" but I've been a Colt C&B fan for may years, my favorite & my first ever is my Pietta 1860 Army that was given to me several years ago. I'm wondering, am I the only one who likes...

    A review of the Traditions Yukon

    Traditions Yukon .50 cal. ?

    Thought that I'd finally get into the 21st century with my very first ever inline ignition Muzzleloader but being that I have a few old designs that are fairly reliable, "50 year old Hawken .54, & a repro Zuave .58" I didn't want to spend a lot on a rifle that I would most likely shoot maybe 30...

    today I went to the range with my wife & lil one to do a little shooting & since the local Gander Mountain was out of Pyrodex P "& ofcorse not a single can of the real stuff" I figured I'd give this American Pioneer Powder a try. As soon as I can I am going to aquire some Pyrodex P or better...
