  1. I use one...one of those short fat ones with a chinese name30-90x65-Maksutav optics I think.? About 12 inches long and 4 inch diameter.   Pawn shop was desperate to get it out of the way and I was too cheap to pay for a real /expensive scope.....  Its great for looking at the moon...and even better for seeing downrange at 400 yrds.....I think I ended up getting it for like 30 bucks.   It does not turn image upside down.
    Its actually the same as this one thats for sale on ebay

    works great

  2. Stainless Ruger Bisley Newmodel 45 colt 5 1/2" barrel
    This was not a safe queen...it was used over the past 5 years. The standard plastic grips are scratched-as are the wood ones I put on. Wolf 17 lb hammer spring-original spring included.  This gun was used mostly for Cowboy Fast draw by me-but I used it for SASS for about 2 years first.
    Very smooth-unmolested except for hammer spring.
    $750 shipped my FFL to yours   certified bank check or USPS money order, shipped when cleared

  3. I did two Ubertis....Vinegar then pretty sloppy cold reblue..(somewhere online theres an article on how to do this) which leaves slight blue (or plum blue) in crevices'..Even shooting dirty re-enactor black powder-washing them off in water...then just wiping down with ballistol and putting away, Ive not had a single rust problem. NC humidity here-coastal....one lives in a safe with no humidity control and the other lives under a hat in my shop high up on a shelf...

  5. Due to health issues, I am selling off my gear-it's been a great 5 years playing, but the lungs are done. They're taking 1/2 of one out at end of Feb.
    This is a Codymatic Taylor made Uberti straight stock octagon barrel in 45 colt. Ive used it the past 5 years for an average of about 10-11 shoots per year (I only ever played at the local club, never got to travel to other matches)  Of those 5 years, the last 2 were with Black Powder. Rifle was cleaned after every match-same day (stripped down and reassembled)
    As you can see in the pics-the first time I took the magazine out to rid it of Uberti factory rust-I scratched it up, 1873s were a new experience for me. Its just cosmetic. 
    I did add a brass knurled magazine cap. (original cap and extra dust cover detent balls included) I also stripped the nasty Uberti finish off the wood (citristrip and elbow grease) and redid with Boiled Linseed oil (same process I do with all my mil surp firearms')
    Gun has never given me any problems at all...I purchased it new, straight from Cody ( August 2018)
    I am asking $1300 shipped to your FFL, or $1200 if done face to face in the vicinity of Wilmington NC (I will travel @ 1 hr in any direct from there)
    I have never shipped a firearm to an individual before-so Ill need some help with information to ship. 
    Certified bank or USPS funds, I will ship after funds clear.

  6. Its fine....all I ever used was reenactor and 5FA grade powder....no problems, no gunked up or "having to clean every stage".....theres a lot of elitist rumors...gun dont care which powder it burns. Brass shell, shotgun shell, cap and ball-all ate it with no worries. Thats the reality...the doom and gloomers just need to be heard.

  7. While I appreciate the work this gentleman did, I'm going to stick with cleaning with Hoppes #9 , kroil and Ballistol; and Ballistol as a protectant/lube (sometimes white lithium grease for my Swiss and AK actions)   Mostly because (except for AK) I still believe in Ballistol for my wood and leather and the ability to mix it with water and use it as a flush directly after shooting corrosive ammo.
    Secondly, price....I can buy a heck of alot of Hoppes and Ballistol , for what they want for 4oz of frog lube.
    If I go out in harsh environment with my guns, I clean immediately..in fact, I clean after each range time (except for AK)...I clean/give a wipe down each month if not used also....and I don't worry about about Ballistol doing harm to my almost 100 year old wood (which was probably cleaned with Ballistol since WW1 or 2)
    I'm not a Navy Seal emerging from the shore break storming a sandy beach, hiding up to my eyes in a mangrove swamp or doing a HALO into enemy territory
