Springfield 1816/1835 made 1838. Armory converted and rifled. Bubba (appearing you be 19th century bubba) shortened. I squared the muzzle and cleaned up the mushroomed nipple. Fired a fair number of 80 grain blanks without issue. Likely will not live fire because of the bad rep of the chamber strength on this style of conversion.

Picked up my 11th BP revolver, a Leech Rigdon 1851 replica by Uberti.
From what I have read it is not a very accurate replica, only slightly accurate, but a little different from my older 1851 by Pietta, which is at the bottom of this picture.  Attached File |

Picked up an EICo Brown Bess “kit” from IMA-USA. Came in pretty rough but with a super nice 1781 English lock. This was a bear, everything needed considerable fitting with the repro stock and a fair bit of additional hardware versus what they sent, but she did clean up pretty nice.

Bought an M&P 15 online and the FFL I had it shipped to had this T/C Hawken .50 in the consignment rack for $185.00. It’s in excellent condition and shoots balls conical and sabots very accurately. The stock under the sling is beautifuly grained, almost like a brindle dog striped and deep look. How could I not buy it? Big difference from my Cablelas reproduction(which is no slouch either to be fair) Unfortunately I got this far and I can’t figure out how to post a picture. I’m way better with guns than technology.

Just got this Uberti 1949 Pocket pistol delivered yesterday. It is the smaller one below. The other is an 1851 in .36 caliber I have had for years.
This is my 17th BP gun. 13th BP revolver, but the first in .31 caliber. It is a smaller version of the 1851 above it (or maybe the 1851 is a larger version of it) with a 5-shot cylinder as opposed to a 6. Looking forward to getting it to the range..  Attached File |

Just got the one in the middle below yesterday and I am about to head to the range this morning to try it out.
It is a Uberti replica of an 1848 3rd Model Dragoon, sort of a transition gun between the other 2, an 1847 Walker and 1851. This makes my 15th BP revolver.  Attached File |
