Hi,
I recently saw this .38 S&W conversion cylinder for sale that converts .36 cap and ball revolvers to shoot the .38 S&W cartridge. It was made in 1978 by Legal Defender inc. I was wondering if...

I love ballistol, it's what I use to clean and lube black powder guns, I usually mix the oil 10/1 with water.

I've been using a 2:1 mix of Lambs tallow/Beeswax. Recently used a 50/50 Lard/Beeswax for lubing wads, and it was a little to soft during a warm (ish) day, but works fine when it's cold though

Hi,
I found a muzzleloading shotgun for sale made by 1973 New Light Art Works, Jodhpur India .710 bore (13 ga) used and has not been fired except for proofing for $275, is this a steal? I did some...

I haven't. Fly told me to do that as well. I only broke up one puck because my grain mill was grinding the pucks into dust, so I had to order the ceramic coffee bean grinder. The rest of the pucks...
