Re: Homemade Pistol???

Just to clarify. The hammer is not the lock. The lock consists of the flat plate the hammer is mounted to (lock plate)and all the internal works attached to the plate.

Re: What rifle is this? Old Photo

It does look like a Ballard. Cartridges are probably 50-90 Sharps.

Pedersoli's do have smaller bores. I suppose most any .54 bullet would work but the Sharps Ringtail would be easier to work with. Moose Molds makes a 544-480 double cavity for 125.00

Re: Help with identification of gun

38-200 was the British version of the .38 S&W.




It looks to me as if it were heavily brushed on a wire wheel. I would imagine the markings got gone at that time.

Re: buck shot black powder shells

Its a finer granulation which will give you a little more powder when measured by volume. It also burns a little faster.
