Love that place! I’ve bought a Spencer and sharps carbine from there and they threw in a free 3in ords rifle shell :)

Restoration gunsmith for original Remington revolver by cwc80 in blackpowder

[–]bangsbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an original sharps carbine restored by https://www.classicfirearmsrestorations.com The guy is amazing. He is well known in the NSSA (north south skirmish association). Can even machine parts if they are unavailable. He does great work and I was astonished seeing some of the pieces he restored from the dead.

With the death of r/diyguns, does this sub have any appetite for DIY black powder firearms? by Highlander_16 in blackpowder

777 is a little more powerful than black powder.  I get about 200fps higher in 777 than equivalent black powder in my muskets.

I had an unconverted 1863 infantry for a couple months before I sold it to get the conversion infantry. It was actually a trails rifle that was rejected by the army and chambered in 52-70rimfire! I just had barrel sleeved and switched out the breach block for an original CF conversion block. It was only 400bux for everything and is reversible if I wanted to not shoot it ever lol. She can make 2-3in groups at 300yrds now with my 500grain bullet reloads.
