We used to stand on the diving board and shoot into the pool, retrieving the bullets in winter sucked but it worked :smile:
If your only gun for bear defense on a camping trip was a 10mm pistol what load would you carry, or would you just not go? I don't want to get into a caliber discussion as it wouldn't be my first...

I've been offered a Western Reserve Gun Company 22 single shot but neither of us have any idea what it's worth, it's pretty beat up but I think it shoots. I've never seen one before, any idea what it...

CH4D doesn't rent reamers that I'm aware of, I believe that would be 4D Reamer Rentals.

That's the mold I have and I'm pretty sure I have some Unique on the shelf, thanks!

Ok guys, it's been a while but after a move to Kentucky and a bunch of other life-gets-in-the-way stuff I finally got this thing sent to John Taylor, he put a new liner in, chambered it back to 38-55...

I did a trigger job on one years ago and used it in 3 gun matches, the shots were a 100 yds at most so it was better than an AR at the time. I don't remember exactly what I did but I do remember I...

I would lean toward the latter, I've asked two different ATF contacts recently with an NFA question and got two completely different answers. And they were both in the "expert" division. It's the...

I have some brass 3" hex stock that I was looking at building a cannon to play with and I've been trying to find a cheap projectile to shoot out of it, having no luck I was looking at possibly using...

From what I read the purpose is to make it safer by allowing you to unload the rifle without having to shoot it or pull the bullet. The sealed cartridge also keeps moisture out of the powder....

I saw an ad for this new rifle and got to looking into it, pretty neat concept but how are they working? I know Federal says you can't reload the cartridge but....any news on that? Thanks

Forum: Single Shot Guns
I'm all for keeping it original but the chamber and bore are way too rusted to try to shoot that's why I was looking to re-bore it if possible. I can live with a 38-55, 250 pcs of brass from Starline...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I got it in a trade so it has no sentimental value to me, I just wanted to make it a shooter using a cartridge that was fairly cheap and common like a 38 Special or 357 Magnum. I plan to give it to...

Finally got to it....the markings on the front of the receiver under the forearm are 44 1/2 and a 0. No idea what that means.

Good info, thanks! I'll dig into it a little further and report back. What little I could find indicates it was made in 1894, the only year with the half round half octagonal barrel and one piece...
