I purchase one of these books from Eggman 2 years ago, and I will testify that it is excellently written, and captivating to read. I endorse this...

Now get us some decent tumblers, sears and sear springs and we can make those worn out Zolis shine.

Say it was 10,000 psi. That would be 1590 lbf that the cylinder put on the frame, but that's only if the frame were mounted rigidly to something big...

Just looked through my Lyman Black Powder handbook:Load data for 44 revolver (which starts at 19 gr. and goes up to 37!) pressure is listed in the...

Hello: In the mid-late '70's, Ken Ramage edited two LYMAN blackpowder "manuals" that contained articles written by bp shooting experts. In the...

This is a pointless comparison. As I've pointed out before, a musket ball is not a golf ball. The dimples on golf balls are completely uniform and...

Thanks for the positive feed back John; I do have concerns sometimes with just posting links and not wishing to fall foul of forum policies. Pleased...

I think 20k psi is pretty high for a black powder revolver. I am many years separated from any math or physics classes , but I believe you have to...

The borescope is one of those cheapo-o Chinese jobbies. I bought it off of a facebook ad for $15. First one ran about 5 minutes and then produced...

A nother place you might want to check with is the J.M. Davis Arms Museum in Clearemore Oklahoma. It has more then 20,000 firearms on display. I have...

To continue on the serious side of Glenn's post for a moment, if Bob is successful in setting up a repetitive production process I will bet "Dollars...

I was joshing before, but seriously this sounds like a really cool project. If you're planning on making one, it would probably be a good idea to...

I've been in email contact with the curators of Springfield Armory and also the Cody Museum of the West. Both gentlemen were very helpful and offered...

Your borescope works a lot better than mine, unless it's just because you're in a much shorter barrel. Never tried it. Not sure if you can see...

​You'll shoot your eye out!! :D

Thank you very much for the links, David. It was very kind of you to post and share them with us!
