Cap and ball impulse buy

[Misfit]

Only shot her 7 times today before my wife wanted to go home. Really seemed to be a winner. Got all shots on paper at 25 yards

I forgot I had this. Millman shooting my Colt 44 replica On a trip I made to Ole' Kentucky.

Wow, look at all that great smoke, right when I have been watching the entire third season of Hell on Wheels. I remember a old friend that I have lost track of that was from Kentucky, and I have often thought that if I was ever to relocate that Kentucky would be a fine place to live. I still woud like to make the annual millman firearm shoot one of these years.

I just had to buy one as my first gun purchase....and one of the only few revolvers you can own in the UK.

.....I need to move over the water

So it's been a few months and it's really made me get the black powder bug. Took part in a flint lock woods walk two weeks ago and now I've gone and gotten a Isaac haines .54 cal lancaster rifle kit

I was poking around on a Facebook local gun group the other day and a guy was selling a full jar of the Pyrodex 30 gr pellets, 2 tins of percussion caps, and a full box of Speer .454 round balls all for 20 bucks. I jumped right on it. I like finding these little deals like this.

First of all, it is not an "impulse buy." It is taking advantage of a unique opportunity at an opportune time.

Those look like fun. I bought a .50 caliber long-smoker, taking advantage of a unique opportunity, a year or so ago, and have not got around to buying the necessary components to using it.

I found a nice Italian made Hawken .50 rifle at the flea market back in September in unfired condition. I did a bundle deal on that one with some other goodies, one of the other goodies turned out to be so good a deal that I basically got the Hawken for free. Heavy barrel, set triggers, real nice. I haven't had time to shoot it yet.

[bunkysdad]

I still need to shoot my TC Hawken too. It is the one that had a long eye relief scope on it when I got it. I took the scope and mounts off, and bought a musket nipple and some musket caps and am ready for shooting.

I think we should do a rmnf black powder shoot. I now have a trade pending for a Chinese SKS I bought dirt cheap missing parts for two cap lock rifles. Ones a cva the other is a pedersoli

So here I am watching youtube and in the suggested video links is a channel called cap and ball. I have seen some of his videos before and really find him interesting to watch. After watching a few of his videos I decide to check out prices on cap and ball revolvers. I find out cabellas is having a sale this weekend. Sure enough I find a Pietta 1858 new army revolver for 220 shipped to my door. So what do I do? I buy it of course. Now this makes for my second bp gun although my werndel will not be shot. Looks like I need to now get my some accessories to be able to take it to the range this week.

I am glad to know that there is other people that do the same things I do..

You tube is a dangerous thing when you are itching to buy something you don't need

Everytime I watch a JYD video I have to buy a Mosin!!

[Misfit]

I'm always itching to buy stuff I don't need

[Junk Yard Dog]

If you didn't need it you wouldn't buy it therefore you needed it and just hadn't realized it .

When will I realize that I need half of the stuff I buy then

I fell victim to the same ploy this weekend. By wife wanted to stop at Cabelas to shop for a hat. While I was wondering around I saw the 58 Remingtons with two cylinders on sale for $229. I mention it to my wife and she comments that she always had a soft spot for long barrel revolvers, rummages around in her purse and comes up with a coupon for $40 any purchase over $200. While she goes back hat shopping I take the coupon to the clerk and on the counter notice Cabelas give a 5% discount to veterans. By the time they add up the discounts and my club points it brought the price to around $150 with tax. After getting home and digging through my bullet mold drawer I found a .454 RB mold and cast up a couple hundred bullets. Didn't have time to shoot yet this weekend though. And for those of you on the edge of your seat in suspense, no, she did not find a hat she liked.

Any guns/ammo that you feel you don't need you can just package up and send to me

Excellent deal, the Pietta Remington's are nice revolvers, I have thousands of rounds down the pipes of my Piettas and Uberti revolvers
