I recently installed a Leatherwood Malcolm 6X “Short” scope on my Winchester High-Wall BPCR. Being favorably impressed, I bought the longer 6X Malcolm type scope from SWFA for my 1874 Sharps. Both rifles are chambered in 45-70. The Sharps rifle has been wearing a simple rear elevated site with two white dots. And a Beach
The cap and ball disease has hit me……..it’s usually fatal to your savings account. Having a set of 1858 Remingtons and a set of 1851 Confederate Navy pistols left a glaring hole for a set of 1860 Colt Army revolvers. I really like the 5 1/2″ barrel lerngth of the Sheriff model. A quick search
My shooting buddy, Purgatory Pic, asked me to build him a simple gun cart for Cowboy Action Shooting. He wanted a simple cart with a box in the front that could double as a seat, it needed to hold four rifles and a shotgun. Here are the results: To keep cost down, we
Check out a few pictures of a couple of 1851 Colt Navy revolvers I recently picked up. Cabelas had a sale on Brass frame 1851 Colt Confederate Navy 44cal revolvers back in November. The price was $129 each! But they were immediately back ordered for 6-8 weeks. I placed an order for two and
One of my favorite past times is to help ranchers out west eradicate those pesky prairie dogs. But I like to do it from long range. Much more challenging and a real test of man and rifle. I needed some type of portable shooting bench. I looked at all the available designs and didn’t like
I wanted to build a few “Staging Strips” for Cowboy Action Shooting competition. These are used to bring ammo to the loading table during a competition. I was using a plastic ammo box that holds 100 rounds and I was concerned that I might put too many cartridges into my rifle and find myself disqualified
I recently felt the need for yet another hobby since I don’t have enough distractions occupying my free time. I like shooting my lever action rifles and I’m a huge fan of the Single Action Army revolvers so Cowboy Action Shooting seemed a perfect fit. CAS require the shooting of four firearms. Two revolvers, a
I wanted an inexpensive double holster rig as my first CAS leather. I looked at Oklahoma Leather and Hunter Leather as the two least expensive sources. First problem is NO ONE has a full set of belt and L+R holster. I checked everywhere and folks just are not stocking them. I did see and feel
I was looking for some type of knife that might share the CAS flavor and not cost an arm and a leg. Looking through the Kennesaw Cutlery catalog www.kennesawcutlery.com I saw two faux Indian knives that I thought might fit the bill. The “Bear Hunter” and the “Wolf Hunter” from the United Frontier Collection. The
