It’s chance... but I’m always looking. And it’s unimaginable how many old guns are left in the attics.
But I didn't get areal answer! Would you change the barrel finish for a grey damas?!
I won’t...

Don't worry, I'll shoot only black powder with it.

Thanks!
I wonder if one day I should change the barrel blue finish, to a damascus style. I’ve done it several times in the past, it’s a lot of work, and I haven’t been successful every time. This...

Gentlemen,
chance made me find a few shotguns. Nothing really fancy, except this one..
It is rather rare here, I had never seen one before.
Made in 1890, It's in excellent condition, perfect...
I'm 47 years old, and I've been shooting all my life. I started with black powder, it's the only thing I really like, and I've seen almost everything in shooting sports...
It's sad to say, it became...
Perhaps a portuguese 8X60R Guedes?
Too bad we’re so far away! I’m also interested in a lot of things in your area!
Thank you all for your comments.
I found it with another pretty mould which cast a 319" and 250 grains tapered bullet, paper patch style.
Here are pics for pleasure.

It weighs 288 grains in pure lead.
It does look like the Maynard bullet; but it's hard to believe that it should have made its way to here... that being said, when I was a kid, I had a friend who...
Howdy folks,
yesterday I grabbed an antique rusty mold. Nothing fancy, but it casts a bullet I've never seen.
Does any one know this design? Diameter is .412"

Could you give me the correct width of the upper tang, and the correct length and width of the lower tang?
It is true that a thinner hammer & block makes it waayyyy more good looking.

Howdy folks!
Yesterday it was a huge one that came out of the bush..

I admit that I had a doubt about the ability of my bullets to make a mess on a big wild...
