USFA CSS / Re: Rodeo II deal?
« Last post by Pangaea on Today at 09:51:13 AM »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.

BROW / Re: Pedersoli trapdoor blowing open
« Last post by Pitspitr on Today at 09:50:53 AM »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

The Darksider's Den / Re: Ballistol?
« Last post by Kent Shootwell on Today at 09:38:42 AM »I’ve been using black powder for a very long time and water has been the base of my cleaning with and without additives. A few years ago I heard a lot of chatter about Ballistol and gave it a try. I had never had a problem with rust on any gun up till then. After using it the bore of my rifle showed rust after it had cleaned with Ballistol. I wouldn’t recommend using it to anyone!

STORM / Re: 1866 uberti stains on brass receiver

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.

« Last post by Reverend P. Babcock Chase on Today at 09:07:34 AM »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.

The Darksider's Den / Re: Ballistol?
« Last post by Coffinmaker on Today at 08:51:49 AM » Froogal Depends (no, not the ones in the plastic package). First a CAVEAT. I don't like Balistol. At all. Well, it's ok to soften stiff boots. However:
It will work for your purpose (mostly). I do however, recommend and champion the use of PAM. Acronym. Hydrogen Peroxide, Denatured Alcohol and Murphy Oil Soap in equal parts. I put it in a little spray bottle. Works a treat.
With PAM, you won't need a bore snake. Just a squirt down the bore and spritz a patch on the ends of yer rod. Done. Put a drink cozy on yer spray bottle. Hydrogen Peroxide doesn't like direct sunlight.

I was going through my holster collection and pulled this one out.
I made it probably 12 years or so years ago for an Avenging Angel,
Looks pretty cool with the 642

The Darksider's Den / Ballistol?
« Last post by Froogal on Today at 08:24:53 AM »Does Ballistol work with black powder? Mostly I am curious about using it with a bore snake for quick cleanups between stages if necessary.
