A friend showed me a phone picture of an old single shot rifle that his Dad had. It was difficult to make out the marking on the side of the barrel from the picture. It had a long barrel like a goose gun, but he said it was a rifle. The pictures only were taken from the side and appear to...

I have a 'not so smart' LG TV from which until recently, I was able to access TFL forums. This last week something changed, and now I get a message that the TLS handshake failed. Has there been a change in TLS protocol very recently at TFL? The TV browser seems to work on other forums and...

carried now that Bass Pro has purchased them? I've not been to a Bass Pro Shop and haven't checked their website, so I wonder if the BP line will change and if so, how? More, less, brands, models, cost, sales, shipping?? Good or bad?

So there's a guy in Kansas that goes to a high school graduation being held in a football stadium, that has 'no firearms' posted at the entrance. Sometime during the program, his Kel-Tec P-3AT becomes uncomfortable, and he decides to adjust it where he is carrying it, in his sock. As he...

Cabela's has the Pietta 1858 .44 Remington steel frame for $200 for 24 hours while supplies last online today.

Do I just go to the post and then cut and paste the address line using the 'insert link', or is that only for external links? Sorry, I should have tried it but my TV browser won't cut and paste.

One of my Colt 1851 Piettas has a grip made to simulate ivory. Unfortunately, the white Italian plastic ( which may be 30 years old ), is not only soft, but cracking. That would seem to be a contradiction, however it is true. The grip is almost, if not, soft enough to be gouged with a...

I get a green dot in the posts, and a name in the "What's going on" ...section of help, but the same user is not shown online at the bottom of the page for the CAS & BP forum section? Guess the green dots are correct, and if you are searching for someone in a different forum that is...

I noticed that post numbers don't show when composing a post on my TV's browser. Minor inconvience really....just curious if it's just me.

Cream of Wheat (COW), cornmeal (cm), grits.....any others? So which is best and why? Less filling?? Smells like tacos?? Moisture resistance? Compression resistance? Flamability? Barrel residue? Powder contamination? Clumping upon being fired? I have not used a filler (except a wool felt...

I have read about loading levers that unlatch when the pistol is fired. I don't have one, but it sounds like the Walker is particularly bad about this, even causing some to use a rubber band to secure the lever. Here is a lever latch on a 1860 Pietta Colt. As you can see the latch barely...

My 1981 Navy Arms 1851 Colt Pietta is .44 caliber. I have read on this forum that Pietta just took the .36 caliber barrel and drilled it out to .44 caliber for marketing reasons. I believe that and see how that could cause the machining on the .44 caliber barrel to have a wall thickness that...

I have not posted much to forums. I have never uploaded pix to a forum. I have been reading the instructions given, and practicing in the testing section. However it is difficult for someone that already knows what to do...to write instructions for someone that is looking at something for the...

Per the June 6th thread about train robberies and the great locomotive chase...it's on Turner Classic Movies now. Chance to spot some black powder action. Wish I had noticed earlier, and hope putting this here is OK.

bent tab on 1851 Colt loading ram I noticed that my loading ram was binding a little, and examined it a little closer. After removing the ram from the barrel, I could see that the flat (tab?) of the ram with the slotted hole was not straight with the ram body. It almost looks like the slotted...

After I log in, I get a screen that tells me "invalid redirect url". This happens on both my desktop computer (xp with Firefox) and my not so smart LG TV. With the LG TV I can use the back arrow and then I get the Welcome, xxxx screen. With the desktop, if I use the back arrow it takes me...

I've had an old Naval Arms 1851 steel .44 Pietta for 30 years or so. It was rescued (missing some parts that I replaced) from a gunsmiths junk box. I finally took it out and shot maybe four cylinders of .451 Hornady balls with 25 and 30 gr of Pyro P, home-made Gatofeo #1 over the Durofelt...
