I'm looking to trade my paratrooper for a Jungle Carbine. Is this a fair trade in REAL WORLD prices. Not this panic pricing crap. I just want he and I to feel we got a fair deal. Thoughts.

Ok folks, in the meantime while I'm waiting for paint to dry, I've cut up some plywood to make a round ball roll around box. I'm going to throw it in the truck of SWMBO's car and cover half of the bottom with roundball and let em roll to get rid of the sprue or flat spot. I should have asked...

I got my new Cimmeron 1860 in today from Tom :D. Man these things are NICE! I like the way there is very little markings on the barrel. The Cimmaron address that is there is so tiny I had to look real hard to read it. I know these are made by uberti but what do these things go through when they...

Is it possible to do this? I think that'd be a cool feature on the Lyman. But I was looking at the stock and its not that wide. How deep is a patch box?

Hey Ya'll, I posted a thread looking for parts for this Glenfield mod. 60. Well I bid on a few stocks on ebay only to be out bid. My thing is this. I'm not paying over 70 bucks for a used stock to go on a 100 dollar rifle and not only that a NEW stock is 75 bucks from Brownells. The rifle was...

I was in a gun shop earlier with SWMBO, I walked in a when I saw the price (259.00) on a single tin of 440 rounds of surplus 54r ammo I busted out laughing. And I saw a few people pick them up and go to the counter with it. SMH. And 299 for a war production round reciever Izzy 91/30. I didn't...

Doin some SMELTING! And another successful operation without an unfortunate SMELTING ACCIDENT :D

This is a thing of beauty. But the original C.S. Richmonds were not all shiny like this were they? I'm currently taking donations for ds's holy crap thats an expensive rifle that I must have fund! All contributions are totally not tax deductible and go to a good cause :D...

This shotgun was given to me by my father years ago, it was given to him by someone he worked with. Its a YL-12 12ga. Eagle 96 Made in China. Its a pump action bottom eject. 19" smooth bore barrel, cyl. choke. It has become my go to slug gun. Its shoots Win, and Rem rifled slugs VERY well...

BCarps post really got my curiosity stirring. Now I don't know squat about a flintlock. I've never shot one or seen one in person being fired. Now I know loading them is the same as a cap lock. But what keeps your priming powder from falling out? What I mean is, do you have to prime the pan just...

Hello Everyone, A friend of mine has a Norinco SKS that he is trying to off load to me for a meager sum. The barrel has some surface rust in spots. I knocked some of it off with 800 grit paper (with his permission of course) and of course when I did that it went right down to bare metal...

Just went to check out a local good ole boy gun shop. Just a mom and pop ran place. I went in and asked if they had a black powder pistol measure. He said I sure do son, he then reached in his desk drawer and pulled out a brass adjustable measure that goes to 50 grains in 5 grain increments. I...

Gary-- If this is not the right area to post this please move, I figured it was pertaining to B.P. so I thought it would be ok. Do you guys think all the proposed legislation if passed will effect our beloved black powder arms. Are we going to be required a background check to purchase? No...

I'm sitting here just reading and I got to thinking. Seems to me that Pietta and Uberti sell a ton of revolvers. So why do you think Ruger abandoned its Old Army! It doesn't seem to me that the thing had any less of a following than the reproductions. Was it the price point? Just curious. I...

Hey Ya'll, Lets see your range box and how you have it organized. I need some ideas. When I go to the range I have everything stuffed in a bag, and its kinda aggravating digging through it. Post up what you use. Things that will work. I was thinking about a tackle box, but I don't see...

I've been looking at the rifle that a friend has. Its a Norinco SKS, but what catches my eye is the stock is REALLY short. Its like a youth model! I'll have to see if I can get some pics of it. I've had SKS's in the past and I've never seen one with a stock that short. Any of you know anything...

Hey Fella's, Sorry if I come off as a post hog, but I got alot to learn and say :D. Anyway this lube I'm using isn't working out for me. I used the Gatofeo recipe but at room temperature it is very stiff and not really workable. I mean it will work for lubing wads I guess because I...

Alright folks, I've nixed the extra barrel GPR project. So I'm gonna finally buy an open top. And I'll be darn if I can figure out which one I want. What I do know is it has to be a "correct period revolver" So help me decide. I kinda want a .36 but that means I have to buy all the stuff...

Alright I wanna shoot this wall hanger (1858 NMA Brasser). I know you can't put a steel frame load in these. What should be a safe load? The owners manual really don't break it down for brass vs steel frames. 20grs real black too much? My measure only goes by 10's. And how much corn meal filler...

Hey Guys, While at the range yesterday I was having some trouble seeing the front sight. I have put a dot of white fingernail polish on there but that didn't help much. I was wonder what colors you guys have experimented with. I went and got an assortment of acrylic paint. I bought a set of...
