Got to Tombstone, found some down there at Smoke Signals in tourist trap town just a few months ago. Not cheap, but hey, it's Tombstone. Yes, there's like 5 gun shops inside the tourist section. ...

It would just be for range blasting, maybe 50 yards max. Thank you all for your help. Might get that conversion cylinder when they come back in stock.

Yes sir, I understand it's safe in a good modern revolver, I was just looking for suggestions - is there specific equipment I need other than my regular reloading gear, and like mentioned about no...

Da Boy was asking about shooting my revolvers with black powder cartridges. The Uberti SAA probably would handle them Ok, but I'm not sure I want BP fouling in a modern wheelgun. He has cut his teeth...

Holy resurrected thread, Batman! But sure, why not? Can you find plated data for that powder? If so, use plated data for powder coated cast boolits. If you can't find any data, try writing the...
Nice! The boxes alone are probably worth something to collectors.

Well, I think this is the only one I can call either a miracle or divine intervention.

Full face respirator is my suggestion.

I loved my M-38, miss it sometimes. When I was dirt poor it was the only rifle I had, good shooter that kicked like an enraged mule with Czech Light Ball.

I've never heard of that, could you tell what it is?

Dang, nice! The Walker was the most powerful handgun in the US until the .357 mag was invented. Nice that modern Walkers are steel, not cast iron!
As for concealed, well, I knew a guy years ago who...

It depends on the state - in Arizona there is no tax on inheritance. Federally there isn't a tax on inheritance until after over 13 million bucks. Other than that, I have no idea - tax professionals...

Messing with federal disability laws? Fast track to getting even a civil servant fired! Terminally stupid.
I want a Tisas, and will eventually buy one, but they DO have a recall going on right now, see if your guns are on the list.

I just gave a big bucket of wheel weights to my buddy, and we split the smelted ingots, with him keeping all the zinc. He uses them for casting various non stressed parts. That bucket was a gift from...

Thank you for your words of wisdom. When the nipple became plugged I used the nipple pick in my nipple wrench, easy peasy. The caps DID have the cardboard removed, extra BP, (4 F - what do YOU use?),...

Ok, so FINALLY we were able to try some of these out. Naturally I forgot the modified nipple, so I pushed them down over the regular nipple. The plastic split, but they stayed on in place long enough...
