Boy, they have sure skyrocketed in price than when they were closed out a few years back. About triple, I was tempted to buy one at the closeout price even with their bad reputation. Kind of kick...

If I remember they used 1 or 2 25 or 50lb bags of black powder to light off the powder that propelled the shell. It was kind of like a breach loading muzzle loader as it used separate components as...

Same here. I am rereading it again for the I don't remember X time.
Forum: Rimfire Area
If it is a 22\22mag the bores are oversize for a 22 because the mag bullets are larger and the barrel is bored for them. The most accurate 22's are the 22 only guns,unless they do what Ruger does and...

I have a couple of BP .32 S&W short top breaks. I bought some 32 S&W shorts to fire in these guns. I have a couple of guns in .32 S&W long that I load a wadcutter load in BP for. Comparing a factory...

I just bought a bunch of .32 S&W brass and some 98gn wadcutter bullets that I am going to try loading with FFFg black powder. Thought I would also try them with my .32 S&W Long once fired brass. Also...

Or you could try black powder like the cartridge was originally designed for. No chance of overloading for those precious old breaktops. In fact I bought three more of them this weekend off of...

.32WS was made with black powder reloading in mind. It was never manufactured as a black powder cartridge but the thought was that is was to be reloaded with black powder. This was in the very early...

I have an idea and this thread seems about as good a place as any to post it. I am trying for reduced recoil 7.62x54r load using mostly what I already have paid for. I have some copper washed steel...
I bought a few items from Jeff Jones. I received my items today and they were exactly as described and shipping was quick. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again. Thanks Jeff.

.44 Henry rimfire or 44 Henry flat is in no way related to the 44-40 or 44 WCF cartridge other than the bullet is .44. The 44 Henry rimfire was the cartridge of the the first SUCESSFUL REPEATING...

Thanks for all the replies. I think I am leaning to getting the barrel relined and cut for 45\70. The barrel is in pristine shape and the metal parts of the gun are in excellent shape. The only thing...

I too use a rock tumbler to polish my cases. It is an older one that is built like a tank, weighs about 30 lbs, all metal and it works great. My guess is that it would still be running in the 22nd...
I just received my 1851 Colt replica from him today and it is in every bit as good condition was stated in his listing. He even sent a couple of extra items that were not listed. I would not...

I live in Portland, Oregon and bought 400 CCI small pistol primers at BiMart for $2.58/100 a couple of weeks ago. They had no shortage of them. I am beginning to believe that you can buy just as...

Hi.
I have an Argentine .43 Spanish rolling block. Are there any more available calibers that I could have it converted to without rebarreling the rifle, just boring and chamber work? Thank you.
The 1872 Open Top grips are based on the 1851 Navy Colt grips which the SAA grips are based on also.

Each to his own, I can not hit anything with a barrel of less than 24" and heavy. With a long heavy barreled rifle I am deadly, with a short light barrel I would do more damage using the rifle as a...
