There is a thread that provides information about making brass from .22 Hornet and an acorn blank as a primer on this forum. might look for that.

Thanks to all for the input. Found the fellow that needs the sight for his rifle.

Yup they are heavy. My Lester Cox muzzle loader is built to be a bench gun. It’s set up with the blocks for external adjustment scope. Just a matter of parting with the $ needed to get the scope....

Not familiar with the site. Likely to offer it for sale in swap n sell here. I’m not likely to ever own a mod 8.

Thanks fellows! Now that I know what to search for easy to identify. The stem at this point is not moving, no apparent rust and have put a few drops of oil in hopes it will free up. This was an...

I had and used on of those Tasco scopes on Remington.22 target rifle and used it for 50’ indoor shooting. It is a dandy using scope. Wish I still had it. Got into Silhouette shooting and swapped it...

I have been unable to determine what rifle this sight is for. Very distinctive base only marking is “A T”. Anyone know what’s this is for?326342326343326344

Thanks for the input. Here’s the one I found that sold a year ago slider was steel.326335

Found one that sold (complete like this one) and was identified as being for the 1873 Carbine. Found one listed on evilbay without the sliding door also identified as being for the 73 Carbine

Coming up again in 2024! More of the same fun and frivolity as in previous years. Hope some of you can make it.

From what I have been able to find the rifle was pointy and the carbine rounded at the bottom

I’m I correct this is trapdoor buttplate for 1873 Winchester carbine? Found among bunch of gun parts. 326299326300326301

Went to an estate sale for an old gunsmith. Among the goods was this device. If it have not been with a sales flyer would not had a clue what it was for. Anyone use one?326270

Had some cast .357 pistol bullets. Took the false muzzle off and “seated” a bullet through it. Resulted in a slug engraving by rifling that measured.357. So looks like if I could come up with a .350...

Sunny guns. Envious! One needs to go on this rifle .326195
My Lester Cox made .36 slug gun muzzle loader

All good things to say about Homestead gun parts. Would not hesitate to go thru them again.

Thus far Nebraska is a gun friendly state. The constitutional carry has passed. I’m just north and west of Grand Island. If you’re into muzzle loaders the GI club owns 80 acres along the Loup River...

Two dandies! Love the Ballad and really appreciate the history of the double. Congratulations

Thanks. Going to be baby steps to get ready to shoot this rifle. Suitable bullet, sights. either Unertl style scope or iron sights of some kind. Found this pic of a Cox rifle and adjustable rear...

Has 1-15 twist barrel. Ordinary .36 cleaning jag with patch will not go in.

I have Roberts book. Read it multiple times and reviewed parts last night. This rifle has scope blocks but also is tapped for iron sights. Anyone have a Cox rifle? And can post pics of the sights....

Been searching and found limited information so far. Nobade is right the false muzzle is made for cross paper patch. The challenge of correct bullet has me head scratching. Seems a smooth sided...

Local gunshow this weekend. Found this rifle this morning. Lester Cox built.36 slug gun. Made in 1969. Bore is pristine. False muzzle and bullet starter. Any advice in feeding/shooting...

Perfect day for shooting. Good number of shooters. My best “plunder” a Matt O’Callahan throwing knife!325699

I have a Stevens 44 that is 25-20 win but the barrel is simply marked 25-20 so not automatically 25-20SS. I would stay with 25-20 , 32-20 type cartridges. It said the 44 action is not strong enough...
