I'm in!

Well, took a chance and ordered the Flintlock, description says the barrel is a bit over 28".

I'll post some pics when it arrives.

Thanks for the help - Jim

Anyone seen/have one of these? I've got a 'today only' coupon and some Cabela's bucks burning a hole in my pocket.

They look visually similar to the older Investarms made rifle, but the local...

Ideal 1897 catalog lists the 42498 as “This is the regular .44-40 bullet for Winchester, Marlin and Colt’s rifles and pistols.”

Price was $1.10.

Mold sizes used to be set to match the groove...

44-40.

Neat.

No, it's a right handed barrel and stock. The gentleman took a lot of wood off the comb trying to shape it for a left handed shooter.

I'm going to use the barrel with a right handed tc hawken...

Great. I was on the fence after coming across the TC in a closet this weekend, but now I'll be on the lookout for a Flintlock TC.

Thanks for the help

Hi,

Years ago, my son was given a TC Hawken stock with a percussion barrel.

The fella noticed my son was left handed and gave him a stock he had 'modified' to be shot left handed. Stock is...

Yep, had the same email about .35 Remmy

Thanks.

Boolits go in the middle between the pots. Metal tray for sprues/rejects goes next to the pot in use (it has a bunch of undersized Saeco 115s in the photo), with the dump box next to that....

Paul,

I set the long bolt underneath the mould handles' bolt, to prop the handles up so the mold lays flat on the hot plate.

Campbell, I can assure you it's laziness not patience...

Nice one. I've got a 1948 last year of production in similar condition, still crusty with cosmoline. Its buried in the safe somewhere, I'll try to dig it out for pics.

Since there are no...

No Pics?

Thanks. I always had problems with consistent timing; tried watching the second hand on the clock, counting etc. But I'd forget to start, or lose track of the count during the middle, or get...

And the boolits (7lbs 13oz in about 45 minutes):

As much as I love my 1911s, the Springfield XDm is a outstanding gun for the price.

Browning 1885 BPCR -

[smilie=p:

Be aware that the Browning BPCR currently on gunbroker doesn't have sights. The seller sold the sights off separately a couple months ago and has been running the rifle without them ever since.

Thanks for the info Brent.

I hadn't heard of Distant Thunder before, I was actually looking for a Baldwin front sight when I came across Jim's website. One of the local BPCR shooters had...

I went ahead and mailed a check today for the octagon version. I'll post some pics when it arrives.

I was going to order one of DT's front globe sights, and saw an octagon version listed as an option. This would go on an octagon barreled 1886.

Only picture I could find was the small one on DT's...

Tried welding gloves for a while; too cumbersome. Now I use the leather gloves that come in the three pack at Costco.
