On the left is the SAECO 453, middle is a 250 RNFP and far right is a 250 WC. This summer I hope to get a chance to test the middle and right boolits. Can they unseat the 453 or 452423? ...

I have not measured all of my ACP revolvers. I might get to it some day. The GB 453423 and the SAECO 453 both have a long bearing surface which I prefer in the S&W ACP rifling. I don’t cast them...
I grabbed some .452” and some .454” boolits. The 454 caught in the throats of both Model 1950 Target revolvers (also in a Model 1950 Army, but that is for a different thread.) I thought they would. ...
At this time, Curt has a two year wait and is not accepting new orders until he is caught up. Not sure what will happen then. He is keeping those cards close to his vest.

For a variety of reasons, this is fast becoming a favorite of mine. Yesterday, I swapped stocks around and came up with this combination.

Thank you. Blest?, indeed. My wife found that revolver on a forum of which I am a member and asked if I knew about it. When I told her the seller had contacted me before listing it, and I passed...

I am not aware of a match that allows you to clean the rifle on the firing line? Cleaning is done off line. A wiping rod is permitted in some BP matches, but that is different from cleaning, isn’t...

For some reason I thought the rifles in question were the Springfield Single Shot Rifle and a rolling block. I might be in a different thread.

Here is the birth year revolver my wife convinced me to buy. It is a Model 1950, 45 ACP, Target revolver. Here is how it came to me with the Magna stocks numbered to the revolver.

Turn the rifle upside down. All the crap falls away from the action.

Correct.
In this image the 1950 Model barrel is on the bottom and the 1955 Model is the top one.

The variance was most notable in the Model 25-5, 45 long Colt. Some oversized throats were also found in some Model 25-2s but a lot of that is also the echo chamber we call the internet. I currently...
No idea. I squeezed off six shots. The ammunition was the SAECO 453 boolit, sized .454 over a hardball dose of Bullseye. The target was a 5 gallon pail lid at about 80 yards, braced offhand. The...
As in from the Tyler Family/Company? No, the last ones I got from the company were probably made by Melvin, himself. I get all I want from the secondary market. But, I do not limit myself to the...
My wife just arranged for me to get a new revolver for my birthday. It shipped from the factory in July 1955. I was born four months earlier.

I prefer softer boolits, myself. It is the size and the lube that prevent leading, not the alloy.

A simple pull through system works well, especially in the two actions mentioned, the rolling block and the Springfield Single Shot Rifle. As for keeping gunk out of the action, I clean them in a...

Cutting is the easy part. Besides, you said it was a spare barrel. How are you going to load it with the short barrel? Look at short mort and determine how short the lever part of the loading...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
If you are asking me, yes, the barrel on short mort was 5” long. It still shot fine and it still weighed like a boat anchor. I doubt the 4” of barrel amounted to a 6 ounce reduction. Easier to...

The Walker is a novelty and I guess everyone should try one. I had two, lot of fun but less accurate than a comparable caliber rifle.
Here are mine.

There are now conversion cylinders to use 45 ACP in the 1860 clones.

If the caps are too small for the cones, you can turn the cones for a proper fit.
If the caps are too large, you need larger cones.
