As an owner of 3 muzzle loaders that have a bullet starter I keep the starter on the rifle barrel except when I go to shoot and then it comes off. 99% of the time the gun is laying around and/or being handled and it is very easy to ding the crown of the barrel or the edge of the rifling which affects accuracy greatly. There is a teather line that warns me to remove it BEFORE I try to hit my targets since it is embarrasing to go down range 25 yards or so trying to find it, which I did once! As a matter of interest, the NMLRA rule book tells shooters they MUST have a teather to be able to shoot. I fasten mine on the block of wood clamped to the shooting bench and it has saved me several times, usually if I am explaining what I am doing to a non black powder shooter.
I would recommend buying a hard sided case to keep the gun, starter and other items needed to shoot all together. I would lock the mold in a special drawer or safe place since bullet/round ball molds are expensive and one matched to the rifle is rare. John |
Crew served revolver
I just added one of the new Colt Anaconda 44 Mag revolvers to the pile. It has the 8" barrel and is polished stainless. Grips are rubber and a bit oversized. Here is a picture of the beast! I haven't shot it yet due to some ear surgery that interferes with my shooting muffs.

Not sure if this is allowed, but if anyone is looking for a USP Compact Stainless in 9mm, PM me.

Not for me - thanks.
But I've decided I miss my CZ 75 and are probably going to buy another one. Not a CZ Shadow, but just a CZ 75B I guess. |

Back in the 70s, my dad had a book that I believe was titled "The Handgun Handbook". It was a large softback book full of pictures and articles. I remember there was at least one and probably several photos of engraved revolvers. I have been enamored ever since seeing them in that book.

Pryse patent revolver retailed by Rigby. .450 Boxer Caliber. Carried through wars and campaigns from 1879-1915 by a British officer who ended his career as a Brigadier General.

Early stevens single shot rifle in 38-35 Maynard caliber:
http://iownguns.com/38-35-2.JPG The 38-35 round: http://iownguns.com/38-35-1.JPG Shooting styles and stances were a bit different back then, and relatively low recoiling rounds like this were acceptable with that crescent butt because it was held against the bicep just below the shoulder, instead of the shoulder itself. It's an awkward way to shoot at first, but after a while you get used to it. I still don't find it more accurate or comfortable though. Some of the old ways weren't better. |
S&W 3rd model double action .38 with uncommon 6" barrel and rare target sights and stocks. All matching numbers. It's a shame someone mistreated the finish as it's still tight as it was when it left the factory in 1894:

So, 11 months ago I tried to purchase a 1903/A4.
The deal fell apart due to the shop made a mistake. Today I blew my Gun buying budget for the year. |
