My oldest is a pre-Rev War flintlock that was coursely converted to cap-lock sometime mid-nineteenth century. It's even documented to a direct line ancestor who was a surveyor, judge, and Congressman post Rev War. It has always remained in the family and has been given to the youngest male when...

Thanks for the reminder, I just upgraded.

I understand exactly where you're coming from fella. But remember that old saying... "if I have to explain it to you, you just won't get it". ~hmm. I find myself thinking that alot lately.

Thank you sir. Hopefully I can get pictures up later today (Sunday). ~scott

I will completely defer to your experience and knowledge on this. Many years ago I was given a chromed, tip up, birds head grip, ivory stocked, rim fire S&W. After reading various threads here, I know it's a mod 1 1/2. The butt is stamped with 633xx. I removed the ivory stocks and did not find...

Hockey please take a breath and relax... pm on the way. ~scott

John aka JaPes, thanks for posting the pictures! I've been handling and shooting AR platforms in many configurations and in many diverse climates (courtesy of my generous and humble Uncle Sam) and didn't have the foggiest idea what a b.a.d. was! Granted my last tour in combat I carried a bolt...

Nicely done! Thanks for sharing. Lucky dog b-i-l..... ~scott

Thank you all again for your responses. My son will be around this weekend to help me move the accumulated pile of stuff (not at all "more junk" like someone else in my house seems to call it) currently blocking access to my gun safe. Then I can post pics of it. If memory serves though it is...

Good morning and Happy New Year to all of you. I've got a Model 10-5 with a snubby 2" brl that I just picked up for $100. One of the guys I work with dropped it, and snapped the spur off the hammer. He was so upset he yelled "the first one with a hundred bucks can have it!". I was first. I...

I also had two handguns refinished with Nitex in the late 1980's. A S&W mod 29 and a Beretta mod 92SB. The 29 has seen several years carried in the woods hunting and still looks as pretty as the day I got it back from TX. The 92SB has had several thousand rounds through it, and for many years...

Go after their money by creating a website of anti gun sponsor's and advertisers. Let each ad holder in the rag see their company name associated on line with this reckless act, and watch how quickly the financial support dries up...

Very good, thank you. Of course right after posting this, I found another thread that answered $50.00, and about 6 weeks.

Hello all. Now before I get mobbed for not knowing... from what I've read here, I understand the nostalgic value of knowing where a favorite gun first shipped to. I totally get that. Perhaps hitting the lottery and finding that it was owned by a prominate figure or location in history, I get...

Didn't Tom Selleck have a reloading scene in his Quigly Down Under movie? I think I remember him talking about re-sizing British bullets and using a paper patch (something I'd love to learn more about)...

Thank you all again!

Hello all. I found your forum while researching converting my 25 for moonclips. I found that the members who responded were friendly and not talking down to folks asking questions. I found alot of other forums almost hostile if you asked something that the self declared experts figured...
