  1. Like new. Near mint. A (mostly) flawless PALMETTO Model 1855 Dragoon pistol with detachable stock. The gun is pristine inside and out. Bore is bright and shiny. There is what appears to be a small machining flaw at muzzle. A beautiful and hard to find pistol. Comes with leather sling. $600 + Shipping.
  2. Minty, like new Pedersoli 20 ga Howdah pistol in matching factory box. Box shows storage wear. Possibly NOS? Some negligible box wear on pistol. Bores like mirrors with factory grease. Stocks 100%. Really nice pistol. $900 + Shipping.
  3. Reduced. This is an excellent example of a Pedersoli Whitworth rifle (.451). A faithful copy of the rifle favored by Sharpshooters on both sides in the War of the Rebellion. Metal finish is close to 100%. The European Walnut stock would be perfect except for two minor flaws. First, the toe took a hard hit in transit to me. Loosened a piece about 3/4" square. It has been firmly repaired, but slightly visible. Needs to be hit with some super fine sandpaper and oil. The second is a scuff in wood in front of lock. Not a deep scratch, just a longish abrasion. The bore in the 36", 1:20 twist barrel, with its hexagonal rifling, is pristine. Rifle weighs about 9.5 lbs. Date code CP for 2016. A bargain at $1500 + Shipping.
  4. Like new, possibly never used, Lee Challenger II single stage reloading press. $50 + Shipping.
  5. Sold Fully functional and ready to shoot - mostly - sporterized Swedish rolling block in 12.7x44R. Has a good plus bore with strong rifling. The receiver is from a Carl Gustav M70 Cavalry Carbine, missing saddle ring. The thumbpiece is poorly finished replacement. Still works fine. It is missing its extractor, but I will provide one that needs some light filing to fit. Interestingly, the firing pin has been bushed sometimes in the past to work better with modern primers. The 30.75" barrel is from a rifle and stamped S for Stockholm. Stocks are functional replacements. Good action to build a Gove style side lever on. Cases are easily made from .50 Alaskan. Just shorten by your preferred method. $275 + Shipping.
  6. This is a very good, lightly used .44 Pietta target model 1858. This one is in very good plus condition, other than the cylinder ring and a few storage marks. Mostly play wear, I think. Fired very little if at all. Very clean. $300 + Shipping.
  7. SOLD This is a used, but likely unfired Armi Sport copy of the 1847 Springfield rifled musket in .69. Very minor handling marks, with one small bruise on wrist. Mirror bright rifled bore. Some surface discoloration near breech, but no rust. Maybe from popping caps? Adjustable rear sight and blade front. Some light freckling on ramrod. Nice looking gun. $1100 + Shipping. Comes with 40 .69 cast roundballs. 20241016_141826.heic
  8. I found this 3D printed jig in ebay. This one marked 12.7x44 from .50 Alaskan. Attaches to a small hobby chop saw. I removed one end to accommodate 32 gauge brass. So I am set up to make 12.7x44R from .50 Alaskan and .50-70 from 32 gauge. The 32 gauge needs to be cut and run in steps into .50-70 sizing die. Take it slow. Both cases then filed to length in a .50-70 trim die. Then prepare cases as usual.
  9. Reduced. I believe this is Pedersoli's Waterfowler mode, but with pistol, rather than English, gripl. 30" blued barrels are chrome lined and pristine. Choked full and improved. Checked satin finish Walnut stock. In like new condition with only the most minor handling marks. I would call it near mint/like new. CC date code is 2008. $1150 + Shipping.
  10. This is a near mint, unfired Pedersoli .32 Frontier rifle. Pristine bore and negligible handling marks. The browned barrel is 39". Walnut stock has 14.5 LOP and double set triggers. Weighs 7.8 lbs. $700 + Shipping.
