My Black powder revolver is a Pietta 1862 .36 cal. . Great fun. accurate too with proper load. I have never checked Muzzle with my chronograph. I have two Black powder rifles.

You've got an amazing gun. The cartbridge is thick... ( I think my english level don't allow me to understand jokes... I need time to understand).

I found a simple Forward /Reverse switch that I can use to control my old winch.. The 1500 lb wench only draws abot 20 aps max. according to internet. I Could not measure amperage as my Fuke meter is fused at 10 amps. Im Grunde, i found a Manual switch used for Dump truck tarps and 12 vdc wenches rated at 50 amps . Less than $30 amazon. I like KISS.

I love My big bore 54mm, 308 and my Black powder pistol and rifle at the range and in the tree stand. But relaxing around back at camp or cottage I love my quiet Gamo .177 Nitrogen Bone collector.1300 f/s

Yes there is minimal pitting that i am reducing by buffing. Herewith you can see the one side that is pitted whereas the remining 90 % of the Colt is very good . I will look at "Rust Bluing" It's my favorite CC. ...I like Wad Cutter ammo. However, my S&W M&P Bodyguard 380 is easy to hide even in shorts. LOL

I love My FEG B9R 380 is under my pillow has a pin point rust. in one place. I should carry My Ruger ss 101 357. but my colt 38 detective special fits my hand. I should try the cod bluing on it.

Birchwood Casey has a nice cold bluing solution. They also have a brown/bluing solution that usually comes out sort of a plum color. Experiment with it and with different bluing solutions. Cold bluing can be removed fairly easy. The most important part of bluing is to make sure ALL oil is removed from the part you are going to blue. The oil from your skin can even impact it. The one with a rust spot could go a couple of ways. If it's a collectable I might leave it alone and just do what you are doing. If not collectable, I'd try using a little 0000 steel wool with gun oil making sure not to harm the bluing around it. You could wrap the steel wool around a small pencil eraser to lightly rub the spot. Sometimes it's best to leave it alone. The cold bluing typically doesn't match the factory finish so the touch up would stand out.

The action on the Colt .38 Detective special (top) is in very good. I have cleaned it up as it had lots of finish rust. I am going to smooth out some more pitting then Cold Blue it. I carry it a lot. The bottom revolver is a Hopkins & Allen .32 cal DA circa 1912. The action is still tight but it's a wall hanger. Polish and Blue...

That is a good question. The Garands were soaked in cosmoline so they were easy to clean. The stocks on a 1791 Mauser i totally stripped and refinished. However, i did not like the finished stock as it looked too clean. I cleaned up my Carcano 6.5 mm stock to look like an Armory finish. I have an old revolver I am working on now to re blue or brown finish. I'll post a picture. I use penetrating oil and wrap it in a cloth to let penetrating oil to soak in over night.

BTW ...The man Cave looks good..with all those guns...mine is smaller.
