I have amassed a handful of barrels while building my Bapty and Stembridge pistols, and the only way I found a 455 barrel was on a 455 pistol. I ended up buying the pistol just to use the barrel on a separate 455 that was in much better condition. If you decide to go with a regular 1917 barrel, send...

It's the same vendor, military 1st, so my guess is it's the same olive color.

If you want a Morgan whip, Wade Egan has one for sale in bazaar I think. Bang for the buck, Dusty at Crease n Corral makes a great whip from cow, I think it has a steel cable core so it is strong but keeps the cost down. I have one and I love it. Going for roo will increase the price but when you cr...

They are in pretty good shape I think. Seem like the right size as well.

Well, after being reassured by a patient Andy that they've never lost a package, my tracking number emerged after radio silence since 2 Nov.

The hat has a good bit more stiffness than my rabbit ABL Raiders. But it's not like a wool felt stiff, if that makes sense.

A few years ago my wife wanted to get me a present for being promoted at work - anything I wanted. So I said I wanted a David Morgan kangaroo Indy whip. That was 2011 or so. At that time, I had bought a few books and watched the choice tutorials on YouTube, culminating in my first homemade paracord ...

Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing a relic hunter, but wondering. If my chest size is 44 inches, should I go with size 44R or 42R? Thanks for any help.

Alright gang, I need your input: I'm going to buy a Relic Hunter and, after almost 10 years in this hobby, it will be my first jacket purchase. Given the quality of the Kelso, I'm hoping it will be my last Raider's jacket, but that also makes the stakes feel really high. With this price tag, I want...

Thanks Lantzn. I will check that out. I cleaned it up a bit so as not to be so dark. Especially around flap.

Looks good. Did you find that the dye you used changed the feel of the leather at all? Hand dying is something I am still trying to iron out with my holsters. Many choices and many types of leather so getting the right combo is crucial to my eye. Thanks. If I recall correctly, the holster was a bit...

Great write up! Thanks for sharing your finds. Compared to the full grain leather from Etsy, would you say the WPG is comparable in leather quality? The WPG is a decent leather, I was surprised given the price. I would say the DistrictGoods is "finer quality" though. I will add a few side...

The latest commercial S&W HE, which is in the process of becoming the Stembridge. I found a NOS M1917 barrel with no S/N and am saving the barrel you see on the pistol here. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QoVUN-cwEGo/VdjgDV7OlZI/AAAAAAAAqH4/MnngoQzafEc/w800-h459-no/1917%2BCommercial%2B01.jpg...

Good news (to me anyway), I worked things out with the seller and am getting the pistol back. About 30% cheaper based on the replaced grip, which I'm fine with. I will take your advice on putting new grips on it altogether and keeping the one original grip in a safe place. Functionally, the gun was ...

These grips are nice, I've bought them for my bapty quest. Getting the gold/brass medallions is no small feat though and isn't cheap.

My opinion to the first question would be no. A .45 long Colt is longer in length than a .455 round, as you know, so if this revolver is chambered in .455, nothing has changed between it and your Smith. They still won't interchange. A .45 Long Colt can be a higher pressure round too, so you may be ...

I recently acquired a WG Army, but believe it may have had some errors in the listing. Some questions for the experts here: 1. Would a .45 LC round fit into the cylinder of an unaltered WG? (I thought no, since that is the case with my S&W .455.) I can see that this pistol has not been modified ...
