      Using smokeless powder in muzzle loaders marked "Black Powder Only"

      60-odd years ago, Ihelped a friend load 45-70-500 cartridges for original trap-door Springfields. As I remember, we used 13 grains of Unique as our load approximating the original black powder load. He never had a problem with excess pressures. The Lyman Handbook of Cast Bullets gives aload of...

      Converting a Remington Rolling Block .43 Egyptian to a Muzzle Loader

      I picked up a Remington Rolling Block chambered in .43 Egyptian (AKA 11.43x50Rmm Egyptian) in rough condition to play with. If brass for this cartridge is available I was not able to find it, so I tried adapting it to 45-70 government brass, hand-loaded with paper patched .442 projectiles but...

      Interesting Rolling Block from Mandeville Militaria Show

      The receiver and butt plate are stamped with U.S. 1863, and the ramrod is consistent with a Springfield 1863 rifled musket. But the extractor, block and bore (.442) are consistent with a late model .43 Spanish No. 1 rolling block.

      Food for Thought - United States v. Miller, 307 US 174 - Supreme Court 1939

      From Miler: "In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second...

      Converting a CVA Optima Pro Magnum V-1 to a CVA V-2

      The main difference between the original CVA Pro Magnum and the CVA Pro Magnum V-2 Is that the original has a breech plug that is recessed in the barrel and can only be removed with a socket wrench, and the V-2 can be removed using only ones fingers. Having an old original with a...
