jrmartin1964 hit it on the head. Loosened a thumb screw at the bottom of the rod, turned it over and there was the de-capping pin.
Thanks,

I was wondering about a primer seater but there is no cartridge holder In one position the plunger can go through the hole. Rotate it the other way and it just hits the bottom of the plate. I'm not...

I think the right one is a 12 gauge roll crimper The one on the left has me stumped. I got these from an estate sale.
Thanks,

For some reason the pictures got rotated counterclockwise 90...

From feed back on Gunbroker and Guns America he has had 5 positive feed backs in June 23. I replied to sender on Guns America with an offer which he accepted. Now it has all the indications of a scam...

A guy has almost 900 sales with a perfect record so I didn't think much about scams. There was one feedback that said sent money and never received gun just a week earlier. The feedback changed to as...

Thanks M-Tecs - that answers a bunch of questions.

I think the 44/100 means it is a 44 cal cartridge. Are these current day manufacture or are they just different brands like Winchester, Remington, Sellier & Bellot, etc. I noticed that the spelling...

Man, there are a ton of those cartridges on there. At least I know whats in there without opening it. Thanks for your time and effort to reply.

Thanks. That reproduction it is different than what I have. The outline is different, the fonts and inter-character spacing is different. That makes me think it is either a different company's...

I'm guessing it is a 44 cal pistol but what the heck is a Colt's Patent Revolving Holster Pistol? The package is a waxy thick paper - I think. It is unopened but too heavy to be just powder and some...

The front two lugs that only hold the ramrod and sling swivel use a screw both of which are loose. I ASSumed the rear lug was the same. It is not and I think John Taylor is right - it is not sitting...

Nekshot, what is there now would not hold the barrel on. I could use a solid piece with a slot and not mill a hole for the ramrod and use a folding ramrod. I do not have a lot of muzzle loading...

The buba welding is only holding in one small (I.e. 1/16”) spot and wouldn’t hold anything. The ramrod tube is loose but the rib between the barrels is fine. Is that tube held to the rib by a screw?...

Unless can find a replacement, it would probably be best to machine from single piece of steel. Not sure if I could use this to get actual height of retaining slot. I do not have the wedge to hold...

Here are some pics. I removed the pieces of mig wire that was all over it. There was only one small spot holding the top on. 307754307755307756

Hi, all.
I purchased a CVA 50 Express from an estate auction. The barrel was listed as a shotgun barrel and the rest as a stock. Any way, the lug that holds the barrel to the stock was broken and...

That may be a good starting point. .30 carbine to launch a grenade and a 38 special to launch a harpoon. The bore narrows to about .25 after the cartridge chamber. I have a bunch of 4895. I wouldn't...

Not this specific gun but yes, this was the gun used in Jaws.

I have read that the 303 was loaded with cordite into the early 60s. I'll try to find some. I have a hard time imagining a load in a 38 Special blank that would propel that harpoon 30 meters with...

Hummmmm - might want to sit out on the front porch with it!

Hay is what I was planning to use. First would be shot off a lead sled with a string :-)

Kosh75287, the rifle is chambered for a 38 Special with a load of 14gns of 360 No. 5 cordite. I mentioned 303 British because I had read in several post that people had pulled them down and they were...

Hi, All.
I have been searching these posts and the internet to find an equivalent load to 14gns of 360 No. 5 cordite. I think it may be easier to try to find some cartridges that are loaded with...

Now the tape on the but-stock makes sense. It said cb low at 10 yd and another piece said cb or below. I only know of a bb cap that is lower than a cb cap. The breach did seem a little flimsy for...

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all your time responding. The martini was a real puzzle for me. I knew a 22 would not have a thick recoil pad like it did. Now it all makes sense.
