Looking for a 10 gauge, anything but auto, and prefer a BPS. I'm not a collector, I use my guns, but nothing abused, please. Let me know if you have anything you'd like to part with. Thanks.

My small bore black powder shooting resulted in lighter charges than most. Most of my experience is with a .36 and found 20gr 3f to be perfect. Seemed I got critiqued a lot for not upping it to...

I prefer plain square cut partridge sights. I just cut the rear sight a lil wider to give me more light. Perfect for the ranges I shoot a muzzleloader.

Everybody needs a .45, flint is even better!

I have a collection of single action parts to sell. Three barrels, all 4 5/8", a colt, navy arms, and a Uberti. One cylinder, 3 hammers, several base pins and ejector rods, trigger springs and many...

I think you are on a good path. I like that you are taking the time to address issues and not just jumping in to something that may not be necessary.

That looks really nice. Good job, and easily touched up in the future.

I always enjoyed making my own accessories for black powder hunting. I made a ball block to aid in faster reloading, but never actually found a use for it. The one time I thought i needed it, I...

I never used it for cottontail, but now you have my juices flowing. One thing for sure, everything tastes better seasoned with black powder. I am sure you will enjoy. I used a tight heavy denim...

It's always good to get a better price, but like has been said, $500 aint too bad. I'd do it. .36 has been my favorite bp cal. I always had good luck with 20gr fff, though most seem to load...

If I were looking for a small bore, I'd be all over it. I love the .36 cal. Let us know if you snap it up. If you've never small game hunted with bp, you haven't lived.

I've been wishing for that season for years, but alas, I don't hunt deer anymore. Should be a good time, but then again, might be slim pickins with the EHD thing running through the area at the...

I really like what you did there. First rate kit, and you seem to have done it justice. And caliber enough to handle anything you may come across. Good job.

Black English from Track of the Wolf. They will, or did, hand pick if you have a preference for certain charachteristics. Learning how to get the most from your flints is all part of the flintlock...

Swamped barrels certainly balance differently. If I wanted a rifle with a barrel longer than 36", I would go swamped. My experience anyway.

That sounds like a pretty good haul. I miss those days around here. Very lucky to come across any lead wheel weights anymore. I keep open lines with plumbers and contractors and still do pretty...

This post was originally about revolvers, but since you mentioned the Ruger MK pistols, I had a MKII with a bull barrel, which was absolutely the most accurate gun I've ever seen. It shot like a...

My 4" 617 has been my go to for a very long time. I bet I would like a 6" as well, but have no experience. I've had a number of ruger .22 revolvers and never got what I thought was good accuracy. ...

I love small bore black powder rifles. I've simply never had more fun than in the squirrel woods with a flintlock. Cant wait to see pics. It will be all the better as you finish it to your liking....

That is too bad for such a cool little platform. Is it just this repro that is tough to keep running, or is the older action just not made for todays hot stuff?

Me... 7x30, only because I have no experience with the others you listed, and I know it will get the job done. Not very much help to you, is it? Pick one and run, don't make it harder than it has...

I appreciate your knowledge in this area. With that said, I think I'll pass on this gun. I really don't need another project, and am generally not fond of machinery that doesn't hold up well. ...

I have always found that when you give freely, you will rarely find yourself in need, and experience other's generosity quite often. You can't go wrong with scripture.

I just got a chance to shoot a very nice Uberti rolling block pistol today in .357. I had never seen one before and it shot very well. I am no stranger to single shots, and they don't scare me at...
