      5.56 AK Recommendations

      Hey Guys, I’m pretty into the idea of getting either a Beryl 5.56, WBP Jack 5.56, or Zastava M90. The thing is that it seems the the whole 5.56 AK mag sourcing issue in MD might be difficult ( and they all like different mags ). Any recommendations on these? K

      Uberti 1861 Cylinder/Chamber Issue

      Hi all, My Uberti 1861 saga continues. It turns out that it’s very accurate and shoots DEAD ON. Do you all know if all the Uberti 1861’s shoot this way these days? Apart from that nice surprise, I find that 1-2 of the chambers release the ball after I’ve loaded all 6 chambers. I’ve been loading...

      Hi all, I’m thinking about getting another BP revolver and was looking at the 1861’s. However I hear that the Ubertis have an arbor that’s too short and Piettas need more deburring. Any recommendations? K

      Lead Removal Tricks?

      Hi guys, I’ve noticed what looks like stripes of lead in the rifling of my Lyman Deerstalker. I only shoot PRB’s so I think that’s what it is. I’ve heard that you should only use water based cleaning products for BP guns. However, this leading isn’t coming out. Do you all have any tricks...

      1858 Cap Size Issue

      Hi all, I ended up getting an Uberti 1858 in .44. I loaded it up today, but it took 2 strikes to ignite the CCI #10 caps I used. Did I do something wrong ? Should I try the CCI #11’s? I noticed with the #10’s that they stood a little to high even though I thought I’d seated them properly...
