Thumbs up; though as already stated I only collect or own black powder weapons myself I still dig modern weapons as well. Im looking into a sharps with a brass scope (classic 1800's milled glass if possible) as my next purchase but they are a pretty penny fully optioned.

honestly clean your gun and your desk brew. Sure that gun still fires with all the jizzum all over it? hehe

See now we are on the same page. That's rad, and yes I realized that weapon is a single action, but you bust my balls I'm gonna bust yours. Only black powder weapon I've ever shot was a 50 cal obv. single shot, modern hunting rifle, it hurt, bad. Antique weapons are awesome, ones you never shoot. My 22 and my grandfathers service pistol are the ones I just keep, shiny and in cases. He was LAPD btw.

LA here, uncle was LA sheriff not PD but he taught me everything I knew about black powder as he collected them as well. The revolver is a .44 confederate calvary revolver, the other I posted is a .50 (fucker kicks hard, its basically a sawed off .50 rifle with a slick grip that makes it swing upwards towards te shooter after firing in hot conditions, you load it with the same powder charge as a rifle. 50 to 100 grains -FF- black). I also have a .50 plains rifle but cant get good shots ATM as im drunk, the wife is asleep and im using a phone.

People need to stop debating law in this thread and just post guns, modern or old.

I try and use real kit material, i have a shit ton now all brass. Those 2 pics above are about 5 years old or so (San Bernardino range). Experimented with honeycomb, wax, cloth, wasp nest (FUCK that sucked to collect!!), felt and zero (as in NO) wadding. Thats what goes between the powder ansd ball as you load the guns.

That fucking .50 pistol cant hit SHIT consistently, ever. Heh, but that's the nature of these old guns and why is hoot em. The .44 is far better for actually hitting something that ISNT a line of men like ducks in a civil war row.

[Bodeanicus]

Like you said. the .50 pistol is basically a sawed off shotgun. It's amazing they ever hit anything beyond 10 yards with those things. I'm pretty sure the .44 has a rifled barrel, hence the improved accuracy.

Wow. So none of you can see that all claims of responsible gun ownership left the thread with the picture of the handgun leaning on the whiskey bottle?

Wow soda.. hes kinda right man. You need to clean your gun. With an auto the dirt and grime can without a doubt jam your gun - either the firing pin or spring mechanism for the clip can easily lock if enough crap is present. No point in owning a gun if its not going to fire whenever you need it to.
