I learned if you use black powder you should have a couple of flintlocks too......

oh, cool!

I sort of loose all interest in guns that go beyond this period! I sraw the line at bolt action!

I have an up to date one I bought new a few years back that is the only legal way I could find to own a 50. Cal riffle. There fun ^^

mmmm love those revolvers~

I am told they are Hard to keep Clean

they are, soldiers would have to wipe the inside with a wet rag by jamming it down the barrels length before cleaning it with another dry cloth

meh, blades require more skill and let you feel the other persons strength, most guns you just point shoot and reload
plus black powder guns have notoriously bad aim

still very nice collection you have

Aye that maybe true but there is a reason blades fell out of service as a primary weapon of armed forces. Tho in the end times blade and black powder I belive will regin supreme.

very true good sir, though the blade is still my prefered weapon ill admit that the gun is nice^^

I'd love to try to talk you out of the stainless steel one, if it's what I think it is ...

And I've got a pretty good idea how successful I'd be ... NOT!

i have a replica of that black colt army revolver just forgot the year that goes with the name

I have three of the same ones you do. Also have a flintlock blunderbus. Fun guns, yes.

would be fun to fire a blunderbuss.

This should be marked as adult,

look at all that hotty porn you naughty guy

I like your flintlocks

Nice but the reason we switched from black powder is the powder can corrode the metal, gunk up the machinery and if not regularly cleaned, eventually lead to a possible malfunction and even explosion

modern blackpowder replacement is clean stuff. non-corrsoive and won't leave a ton of deposits like the original stuff.

Maybe but it seems it is primarily for a certain type of firearms collector or hunter, I know there is black-powder Turkey hunting
I just see it easier to have bullets :P

And they're in amazing condition to boot.

Nice collection. Any advice for some one who wants to pick up thier first black powder firearm?

The Remington replicas are common and relatively inexpensive - saw one on sale here for $120, recently They're also the strongest of the cap-and-ball revolvers, thanks to the top-strap. Be sure to get a steel-frame gun (the brass-frame ones are pretty, but too soft, and will eventually go out of true). And yes, you gotta clean 'em religiously.
On the plus side, they're not firearms, according to the BATF, so you can buy 'em with no paperwork. Online, even.
An option for people in gunphobic states, who still want to be able to defend themselves when SHTF. The .44 slugs still hit as hard as in the old days, ya know? They're slow to reload, but that can be ameliorated with spare cylinders (my stainless steel Remington has two spares), and in any case, most gunfights are settled in 1 to 3 shots.

Thanks for the advice. And I do know the batfe says they ain't but I still call em what they are .

Nice old guns.

I used to have a 50 cal. Hawken like that one at top. And I love the double barrel pistol. Bet it's a hoot to shoot!!

Ooooooooooo, a LeMat! Nice find! Good on all the others, too!

Love that double barrel.

nice

nice lemat, is it a Uberti?

I approve. Got to love them front stuffers.

I agree about the Remingtons, and old man Ruger seemed to, too. He designed his Old Army as a Remington New Army on steroids. My brother has the original style, mine has the adjustable sights (call me a Philistine), both stainless (easy to clean). His is dead-nuts accurate; I haven't fired mine yet

I have a LeMat reproduction, too. It's the Cabela's special, probably by F.lli Pieta.

Oooooh, a LeMat . . .

Nice....although...a bit modern for my tastes, as of late. I'm a big fan of the '58 Remmys!

I wonder if the whole "not legally a firearm" thing would mean that I could conceal and carry one despite being 20..
