Cool, thanks for sharing. I talked to a Clanton last year I think it was. Terry "Ike" Clanton was his name. A direct descendant of the Ike Clanton from the OK Corral gunfight in Tombstone. The guy is an actor and also has his amatuer radio license. I too have my ham radio ticket and struck...

Is the Redhawk 454 as well?

I have read elswhere as well that people find them ugly. Honestly, the look of it is what appeals to me. I think it looks fantastic. But I would hate to purchase on looks alone and then find out its not a good shooter. The only thing i have heard of from them that wasnt reliable was early reports o...

I have been eyeballing the Henry Big Boy revolvers on the internet lately. For those who may not know, Henry makes a classic looking double action revolver in 357 magnum with two grip frame options, plow handle and birds head. I believe they also offer the revolver as a .22 long rifle. I really like...

In the process of searching for information on very short-barreled percussion revolvers in general and 1858s in particular I found these..... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1SZFoi0GrIQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz4uIVUv8cs https://m.youtube.com/@johnzx6r/videos The first link ought to be with a ...

Agreed. I used to not care for him, but as we both aged, I finfd myself liking him more and more.

Many, many SASS shooters use conversion cylinders in their pistols. While I don't personally feel the attraction, I certainly understand it. Are you looking at the "drop-in" type or the type that physically alters the gun into cartridge only form? If the former, you may want to go over to...

Mine is in .45 acp and an absolute blast to shoot! To be honest, I haven't even fired it with BP.

So what 45acp loads to you shoot through this? FMJ?

This 58 was a gift from me to my father over 30 years ago. Back when you could order them from Bass Pro or Cabelas for about $100. My father shot pyrodex in it and didnt clean it well. After he passed on about 10 years ago, I acquired it back. The end of the barrel looked like a rusty sewer pipe. I ...

Does anyone here have any experience with the cartridge conversion cylinders that are made for cap and ball revolvers? I have a Pietta 1858 Remington revolver clone that may be a candidate for such device. I don't have any experience with the conversion and surprisingy haven't seen much about them o...

It was a pretty good video. Tim has a nice little collection there.

Interesting. I wonder how that mounts up to the reciever.

Here is some of my velocity data for my stout 45 colt loads Nosler 250gr JHP #43013 / H110 @ 24grs/ CCI 300 / COL 1.590" : Test Gun Ruger Large Frame Vaquero = 1060fps Test Gun Rossi R92 = 1435fps Nosler 250gr JHP #43013 / win296 @ 24.6grs/ CCI 300 / COL 1.590" : Test Gun Ruger Large Frame...

I do appreciate the warm welcomes. I look forward to the knowledge available here and the folks who share it.

Does anyone know of any sort of Henry Big Boy saddle ring kits? Would love to add one to my Big Boy.

Of course your load is H4198- a powder I haven't tried! :D Honestly I haven't spent much time looking for a load for this 92, it does put bullets where I point it but it is no where as accurate as my Ruger #1 Bee. Thanks for sharing your data! This load is compressed a bit. I hand trickle and weigh...

Thanks! Happy Independence day to you too.

There is a reason why they are known as " The Legendary Winchester" ! Mine is an ok shooter, question is did you develop an accuracy load? Yes, I have put a fair amount of time into load development for this rifle. The .218Bee has proven to be the most sensitive cartridge to variations an...

The Bee may not win any beauty contests, but it shoots like a laser. Everytime I take it out, I am just amazed how accurate it is. Here is a funny little story. I went to one of my relatives house a few years ago that was hosting a "gender reveal" party for him and his wife's expected baby...

Here's my other 1892. This one is a Miroku built Winchester in 357 Magnum.

Thank you

That is beautiful. I would love to find an original 1895 like that.

Thank you.
