Howdy all, I asked this over on the CAS forums, but it never hurts to ask around, so I figured I'd ask here too. I was looking in my favorite LGs when I cam across an Uberti 1849 Pocket model for a decent price. I've been bitten by the BP bug, so I'm certainly intrigued by this revolver, but I...

Good morning all, I was browsing online when I came across the Marlin 1895CB in .45-70, and I've gotta say, I was infatuated. It's just a good looking rifle, you know? But of course, I figured if it's a recent Marlin then it probably has its issues. So I went looking for reviews, and found one...

Howdy all, I'm a newbie to BP firearms in general, but I've decided that I really want a Snider Enfield rifle, due to the coolness factor and how easy they are to load for. To this end, I've basically sold myself on the IMA Cleaned and Completed Snider rifles. I was curious if anyone had any...

Howdy all, I'm debating adding .45 S&W as a new caliber to my reloading setup, for lighter plinking loads. Do any of you who use Lee dies know if the .45 Colt dies will work with .45 S&W? I know I need a new shell holder for sure, but I've read mixed reports concerning the dies themselves. Not...

As an early Birthday/Christmas gift, my wonderful fiancé let me get a new six-shooter! My new revolver is an American Western Arms Longhorn, 5.5 inch barrel, birds head grips, and in .45 Colt. Found it used for $300 +tax. Everything looks good apart from some cylinder wear, and the action is...

Howdy, I've been thinking about a 1875 Remington clone in .44 special, to compliment my .45 Colt Remmie. I figured there'd be two ways to get it, either A. Buy a gun in .44-40, a .357 magnum cylinder to be reamed out, and then swap the cylinder out, or B. Buy a gun in .357 Magnum and ream the...

Well, I had some time to kill, so I decided to try and refinish the grips on my Uberti '75 Remington. First time I tried this. Not a perfect result, but I like it and I'm proud of it. EDIT: Sorry, took me a bit to figure out posting pictures

Question for you gentlemen. The other day I disassembled and cleaned my Uberti Remington clone, and went ahead and pulled off the ejector assembly just to monkey with and get an idea for how it worked and operated. When I screwed it back on, I noticed that if you held it up to a light or a...

Howdy all. Since I'm constrained by a minimum wage budget while I'm in College, I thought I'd attempt using .454 lead balls in my .45 colt cartridges as a plinking load. They're being fired out of an 1875 Remmington copy. Basically, I'm using 35 grains of Alliant Black MZ (BP is extremely tough...

Question for you folks. I just picked up a Ruger SR45. This morning I disassembled it, cleaned it and reassembled it. Now I've belatedly realized I put the the recoil spring in backwards (It's my first striker-fired pistol, never dealt with one of these before.) So now the slide seems locked...

So I've decided to be a selfish prick with my tax return and get a hold of an Uberti 1875 Remington clone in .45 Colt, and some reloading supplies. I've been doing tons of reading about them, but all the same, I thought I'd ask for thoughts. I know Mike Beliveau from Guns of the Old West...

Howdy All! First time poster, long time reader. I recently picked up a used S&W revolver off of a buddy of mine. I got it for $275 or so, plus the cost of getting the safety transfer bar replaced (the owner before my buddy apparently decided that the whole 'safety' thing was stupid). Now, I...
