Very cool. Love the old time rifles. Zero interest in modern long distance guns.

I don’t find that Wilson is still making these. I think they are neck sizers. Anyone know for sure? Look like drop the case in whack with a mallet and use some sort of rod to knock the case out....

True. Might help to have eyes about 40 years younger lol

Thanks. Shooting a green Mountain barrel in a TC Hawken This is the 1st barrel I have ever shot that does not appear to foul . Loads as easily the 1st shot thru the 20th. My other rifles depends...

I think it’s the bore diameter. Total rookie when it comes to this.

Recently got a 1969 vintage Lester Cox made muzzleloader. It’s set up with a false muzzle and bullet starter. It’s set up for cross patch. I put a slug thru the false muzzle and it came out .357....

For those shooting traditional round balls. what grains of the holy black are you using? Are you increasing charge for longer distances?

Thanks. Uberti makes a good looking guns.

Could not resist a family photo .44 .36 and .31326486

For sure the value/cost of .25 rimfire keeps me from shooting original ammo. I do shoot cases made from converted .22 Hornet. It’s an interesting pastime. My Stevens is the lighter “Favorite” the 44...

Sorry you’re going to miss this year. It is a major social event of the year! More fun than a new puppy.

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...
