Many years ago, I was at Lexington and Concord Bridge. By Concord Bridge, there is a grave site for two British regulars KIA on April 19, 1775 -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_North_Bridge#/media/File:Grave_of_British_Soldiers_at_Old_North_Bridge,_July_2014.jpg At New Orleans in 1815, the Britis...

Two things came to my mind when I saw this: 1-- The Eagles 1977 song "Hotel California", the lyrics in part: "Last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 'Relax,'said the night man, 'We are programmed to receive You can check out any time...

Now that the 2019 Shooting Season is in full swing and the weather is better, I shoot once or twice a week, sometime three times. I get there early and usually there is only another shooter or two on the rifle line. Often times, I have the range to myself. The only problem is the deer are not afraid...

Earl: I started out in 1984 shooting Black Powder cartridges in a Browning B-78 .45-70-- a handful on both ends! Probably 95% of my shooting is with my Black Powder cartridge rifles. Back in 2009, I started to paper patch and have not looked back. Tedious, requires attention to detail, but I find it...

As seen on page 55, Spring 2019 issue of the Black Powder Cartridge News, Cimarron Firearms advertises/announces a 1862 Colt Pocket Navy Conversion, 6" barrel, 5 shot, .380 ACP.

However, nothing about it on the Cimarron home page....

Blaine: that was the funniest post I have read in a while! Very good.

Ray Newman

Ray: I posted that because I know of a few shooters in the last few years who tried to find SR4759. My post might save a Shooter some time trying to find an unobtainable powder.

"I would try SR4759 or 5744. SR4759 was designed by Dupont as a low pressure smokless substitute for BP."
--LeftyDude

SR4759 is no longer in production. DuPont ceased SR4759 about 5-6 years ago.

In the office I worked in, one of the lawyer's father landed on Iwo Jima. She said his B-29 bomber was hit on a bombing raid over Japan and headed back after dropping its bomb load.

Looks like an incomplete "BC 'Scope -- Battery Commander's Periscope. Believe the BS 'Scope was designed and developed for WWI trench warfare use.

"I coon-fingered one of these the other day. The easiest slide to rack that I know of. Single or easy double action."
Blaine G.

My feeling is that in a panic situation, all bets are off as to how easy it will be to throw the slide to the rear -- whether loading or unloading.

Gents: thanks for the info!

Colleagues: I have a new in the box and unfired Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle, .50 calibre, brown iron. Bought when Midway had a close out sale on the Browning muzzleloaders probably 35 years ago.

Any idea as to then these rifles might be on dealers' shelves??

Ray Newman

Interesting news. And I wish them success. Noticed that the trigger was 6-7 pounds and thought a bit heavy. Now, if this is a replica of the military Martini-Henry rifles, there was no safety and that might be the reason for the heavy trigger pull? As for calibres and overall weight, 6 pounds in a ....

When you file the police report, ask that is entered into the national stolen firearms data base. In many areas, this is not automatically done.

"But there are also numerous fakes! So before purchasing such a gun with markings, do yourself a favor and investigate all the provenance you can find first. Often these guns were purchased in certain serial number blocks, so they can be authenticated."

As always, sales drive production. Knew a few now-deceased hunters who had M95's. Every one had a sling as they all said it was too difficult and cumbersome to carry forward of the magazine.

Would not mind having one though.

Yesterday, I called the seller about when it might be available. Right off the bat, I was told that it is a "very rare gun", hard to find, unique, etc., so no bargain or fire sale price.

Never had a 1895, but do have two .30-40's -- Krag infantry rifle made in 1901 and a Browning Black Powder Cartridge Rifle, re-barreled to .30-40.
