Ok.. I know this isn't the political/legal section of TFL, and I NEVER cross post on forums, but this one is too important and I fear some BP shooters might not be checking that section of TFL very often, so I'll take the risk. The left in the US is pushing for a ban on muzzleloaders. Video...

I can't even believe this is a thing.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKPObRSU5w4 You know.. I always told myself, hey.. even if they banned it all, at least I could defend myself with black powder. Thomas Jefferson must be spinning in his grave.

Hey Everyone! Quick question about what I've uncovered after having my pistol stored somewhere for a while.. LONG story short.. Thanks to much guidance from the users here, some time ago I was able to purchase a Pietta '60 Army from Cabelas at a very reasonable price. Revolver was in perfect...

A peek inside Uberti's factory. I've seen a few episodes of this show but didn't expect this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYOJa8ZNxmE

Bell-Bottom Grips EDIT: I've since been schooled, see posts below. Pietta did base the shape on Colt's design, and there may not have ever been a single "standard" shape. THANKS to the posters on this forum for the priceless images and education, and of course, THANKS TO PIETTA for making such...

Picked up some trimmer line, also known as weed wacker (or Weed Eater line), to make a pull through cleaner for the barrel of my '60 Army. Old habits die hard and I found myself wanting to use a bore snake, breech to muzzle, instead of a cleaning rod. With my luck I'll be the first person to...

Hey Everyone!! I need some lube on hand for my next phase, so I prepared some beeswax and Olive Oil in a pyrex bowl and saucepan double boiler configuration. I opted against the microwave after reading some posts about exploding glass and flammable fumes from beeswax, even though I know the...

I couldn't be more excited!! Over the fuss of the holiday season I *almost* was able to put my Cabela's order out of my mind. Well, it got here much faster than expected and now I'm anxiously awaiting my hollow ground magna tip bits and pure beeswax so I can strip and clean/lube this beauty...

Hey Everyone!! So I've posted a few questions about my greatly anticipated Pietta '60 Army and have received lots of great info, but there are a few rudimentary concepts I want to make sure I'm clear on that might not translate 100% from modern firearms. The first two things I noticed were...

Hey Everyone!! I'm preparing for the arrival of my Pietta 1860 Army and want to make sure I get the right nipple wrench so I can strip the gun once I get it. I want to eventually do the dremeled socket modification for the perfect DIY wrench, but that might be a touch above my skill level just...

Any significant shortcomings for the shorter Sheriff model of the 1860 Army? I'm assuming loading ball is more of a pain without the additional leverage.. I've even seen people fashion extenders out of pipe. How about accuracy and power? Are they signifigantly reduced with the shorter barrel...

Hey Everyone!! Anyone have experience with the Old Silver finish on the CnB revolvers at Cabella's? I like the silver look that a lot of the real old guns had, and the modern bluing never really did it for me. I was thinking about antiquing a blued gun, which I'm sure isn't easy, when I saw the...
