I picked this up at an auction. It was listed as possibly India manufacture which I knew right away to be incorrect. The lock is engraved Dublin Castle and the crown and GR are engraved also. The barrel is 58 caliber and has the proof marks shown that I haven't been able to identify. The pistol...

I came across this a few years ago while wondering around a Harbor Frieght and thought it might be useful for gunsmithing BP revolvers as something is always getting stuck. Most notably nipples. It is a 1/4"drive impact driver and as such you can use the bits from your gunsmithing screwdriver...

Recently Sportsmans Guide had the military M-12 flap holsters in new condition for $20 so I ordered one as it looked like it might fit my Kel Tec PMR-30 and I hadn't wanted to pay $45 for a used one on eBay. Well it fits like it was made for it. I thought to order a few more but SG was sold out...

I acquired this cylinder in a box of misc. gun show stuff and am having a problem identifying what brand it might be from. It is 22mag six shot and the cartridge heads are recessed. I thought initially that it might be for a Colt frontier scout or peacemaker and it does fit the frame perfectly...

Any one have a ballpark figure on value, dollar wise. It is an early gun from the 70's no frills used but not abused. One rifled and one smoothbore barrels. Thanks for any assistance.

I really like mutton tallow for patch lube and for making up black powder bullet lube. Only problem is Dixie seems to always be out of stock. I just found a unlimited source for premium pure mutton tallow at $12 a pound + shipping also available in smaller quantities. If anyone is interested...

Just won a set of the Hamilton Burr duelers on gunbroker at a favorable price. I've wanted a set of these since they were first issued but wasn't going to pay what (at the time 1981) amounted to about three months pay. Just goes to prove the old saying "All good things comes to he who waits"...

Just got in a 20Ga L.C. Smith Double. This is the one Marlin had made out of country. CDNN had the listed for $999 but when I called they were on sale for $899. This is one really nice shotgun. Yes I know it is not a real Elsie but it is nice. The blue and case colors are perfect. The wood is at...

Wondering if anyone else had played around with shooting slugs in a side by side and what your results were in finding or making loads that shot both barrels to the same point of aim. I've had excellent luck with 20Ga coach guns. Not so much with 12Ga although I'm still working at it.

One of the most reported problems with the 58 Remington design is binding of the cylinder from fouling buildup on the base pin. Colt addressed this problem in the 1862 open top and SAA with a gas ring. Of course that is not possible with the Remington design short of reducing the cylinder length...

I had mentioned in a previous thread that I was going to pin the full cock notches in my Pietta Hickok revolvers becuase the trigger pull, while smooth and light, was loooong. Junkman and others asked for a tutorial on how I do this. So here it is. One caveat this does not lighten the pull so if...

I finally got a chance to shoot the pair of Hickok revolvers. The target shown is the first six rounds from both guns. 15Gr of 777 and a .375RB from 15 Yards offhand. Point of aim was the center of the target. I am really pleased. I shot a total of 30 rounds from each gun and moved the charge to...
