BROW / Re: Rolling Block's???
« Last post by Pitspitr on May 10, 2024, 02:16:31 PM »
They aren't much to look at, but I love shooting my .50-70 NYS Roller. It's one of the few guns I own that it seems like if I point it in the general direction of the target, I'll hit it. I don't miss often with it..

The 1866 receiver is BRASS.  It will stain whether shooting Smokeless or Black Powder or Subs.  I am also surprised Brasso didn't do the job. 

There are those of us who champion Brass rifles who actually prefer to allow the brass rifles to stain (patina??) and like the look.  All of my Brass rifles are well patina'd and I prefer that look.  It is however your rifle and it's your choice.

DO NOT USE SANDPAPER unless you use 2000 or 3000 grit wet/dry.  Any larger grit will actually leave scratches you may not be able to remove.


I tried neverdull and it worked better then brasso but the stains still remain. I would love to acquire that patina look tbh. Is there a way to speed up the process? I don’t shoot black powder unfortunately as I read that can speed the process up.

This is very strange.  Three people had their first post on this topic.  I'm thinking at least the last two are AI bots and will report them as such, and let the moderators figure it out.

 If either cloakedoink or celemtine are real people, I invite them to come back on and prove me wrong.

USFA CSS / Re: Rodeo II deal?

I could be mistaken, but a pair of Rodeo II's in that caliber would be rare.  I've never seen them in that caliber before.

When my H&R did the same thing, it wasn't that the cam had turned on the shaft, but that the weld on the thumb piece had broken and the thumb piece had turned on the shaft which didn't allow the shaft to turn far enough to fully engage the cam.  You might check that ???

Howdy Tay,

I can't give a reason for the discoloration on your '66; however, don't use anything more abrasive than Brasso. Try Flitz, I swear by it. I wonder if you should wipe the brass with a lacquer solvent and try brass again. I just let my '66's patina on their own with use.

By the way, I used Flitz on a pair of matte finish revolvers and ended up with a nice antiquey dark gray look. I don't like matte finish on my guns.

Upcoming Musters / Division of Illinois Muster, 29 June 2024
« Last post by LT Col Long on May 10, 2024, 08:14:00 AM »

Well I guess that I had better get to it and quit procrastinating.  Here goes, the Division of Illinois Muster will take place 29 June 2024 (I know right in the middle of the Grand Muster!!). The Good Guys Posse BOD voted to for me to hold the muster on that date.  I am not without blame as I am the sec/treasurer of the posse. That all said the muster will take place at Dry Gulch Ranch outside of Winnebago, IL. The address is 10573 Telegraph road, Winnebago, IL.
We do have an interesting match planned which includes the Gatlin Gun, the old 2x4, speed pistol, 14 target stage, a 10 target stage and a 5 to make 3 rifle match. This is a cowboy action range so I have to get inventive.
I finally posted so you all can let me have it!!

Bvt LtCol Long
