Here are a couple of conversions of 1858 Remingtons using Kirst/Richards style design. These were in .44 C&B then .45 Colt. These were done for Sam Worthington's use in The Last Son movie.

If you are thinking of a .36 C&B conversion be aware that the conversion cylinders are typically .38 Special. Bullet diameter for .38 SPL is .358 and bore diameter for .36 C&B is .375. Options are to...

I finally completed the Remington barrel installation. Just needed a spacer tube to bridge the distance from the front barrel ring to the magazine cap. Made one out of aluminum tubing and then coated...

A rimmed cartridge should headspace on the rim, not the shoulder. The chamber can actually be somewhat sloppy from that standpoint as the shoulder just needs to allow the cartridge to chamber....

My understanding is that for the fastest ignition from the pan the powder in the pan should be tilted away from the flash hole so that you don't get a fuse effect but rather the flash from the pan...

My .410 upper works okay but not all 2 1/2" shells are short enough to run through the magazines. Fun toy but practicality is something else.

I built an SBR in 10mm using a lower from Joe Bob...

Well, according to some of the woke newscasters the AR bruised them up, the muzzle blast caused a concussion, and they were suffering from PTS. And that was in .223...

Look for a used flinter to start. The Thompson Centers, and other European manufactured ones seem to be common, especially on Gunbroker. The cheapest ones (probably in quality as well) would be...

I agree that the 1877s are a PITA to try to fix. Finding parts is an issue in itself but just trying to get the necessary moving parts to work together is a challenge. I've been able to get a couple...

I'll agree that the Beretta is a bit bigger gun. For me the BHP works well; take a look at some of the used clones on the market - FEG and Israeli Kareen versions. The S&W M39 works but is an...

I leave the wooden RR in place at the range and use a TOW delrin version instead. Much more forgiving and sturdy.

So, is it false advertising on Military Heritage's part? They sell them as a non-shooter. What people try to do with them after receipt is beyond their control. If someone wants one set and ready to...

So, what's the problem with them? Have you ever handled or shot one?

I was working on a movie as an armorer and after a day of filming in the snow and cold it came time to clean weapons to prepare for the next day. We brought the weapons in from the -15 degree temps...

I've bought several of the Military Heritage guns and activated them including three of the trade guns. After drilling the flash holes I tested with a large powder charge and all went bang without...

Stopped by a local (Owatonna, MN) Cabelas yesterday and noticed two racks of very nice K31 carbines with slings and muzzle caps for $699. A bit rich for my blood but looking on-line afterward noted...

Probably the best approach would be Duracoat over parkerizing...

A leather stitching awl will fix the problem and typically will come with either linen or nylon thread. They are available at Tandy, farm supply stores or on-line.

It was not a military configured arm at all, looked more like a percussion Kentucky/hunting style with at least a target style front sight.

Something to consider is if you are wanting to weigh 1500 grains accurately then the scale needs to have a capacity of greater than 1500 grains. Typically, an electronic scale will have it's best...

1878 Colt Frontier DA in .45 Colt.

I ran across a polygonally rifled percussion rifle yesterday (hexagonal I believe) in an antique store. It was approx .45, had a double set trigger, was approx. 50" long (OA) and had a globe type of...

There is a place for subsonic loads that don't cycle the action in an AR. "Fully functional" loads are great but you still get noise from the action cycling. If you want the quietest load then don't...

Mag well adapters for pistol calibers are readily available in multiple calibers and for different magazine styles. With a little design capability they aren't that hard to design and make yourself....

Bear Creek has an AR style as well. https://www.bearcreekarsenal.com/45-acp-16-parkerized-government-barrel-1-16-twist-blowback-15-mlok-rifle.html

Ballistically, a 10mm would fit the bill as well,...
