I had (still have!) a friend that had many guns that I still envy (especially his Win 94 in .38-55). He had a beautiful percussion .54 cal rifle, Hawken type (don't know the manufacturer), which he downed many a moose in Alaska way back when. I caught the BP bug from that and bought a CVA .50 kit, assembled it, and was disappointed with it.

About 30 years ago I bought a Dixie Arms 1862 Police kit for my dad as a Christmas present. He had a ball with assembling it and was very proud of it. Before he died 4 years ago, he wanted to give it to me but, like so many gun nuts in the 60's/70's he over-polished everything on the buffing wheel. It happened on a 39 Marlin (1928 date) (such a shame!), a 1930's Mod 12 Winchester 16 gauge full choke, and a 1930's Winchester Mod 94 25-35 (which I sold to an eager buyer just for the caliber).

I now have a new Pietta 1851 Navy .36 and am very pleased with it. The wedge has some problems that I am working out. I don't plan on shooting it much but love handling it and admiring it.

Gun nut extraordinaire.
