Is the gun a flintlock used in the Revolutionary war or a cap lock used in the civil war. thanks

on stage they look good. they are somewhat tender and broke easily when dropped. We used them for Les Miz. and then ordered the more expensive rifles made in Spain for the principle actors. they were expensive but very real looking

I believe it is a Caplock. Like in this image http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8b/Caplock.gif . Also like the previous person mentioned, I also tossed mine in the trash. Used it for a halloween costume.

It is a rather generic amalgamation that is a bit closer to the Civil War cap lock. The stock is too narrow and not terribly sturdy; I wouldn't recommend it for any recreation groups. It *might* be an acceptable base for something like Steampunk.I didn't throw mine away; I still have hopes of re-purposing the stock at least...

it is a mockup of a flint lock and a very poor one at that......depending on what you are using it for beware.....its a toy..looks like a toy...very very cheap looking toy. I was looking for something to hang on wall for décor.....I actually threw it in the garbage.

It is a reduced tang that goes to the cap. You can find a couple images of one taken down if you search google. I contacted Buck directly to see if there was still a pin going through the end of the tang and was assured that there was, but that the cap was polished so well it could rarely be seen. So, the tang is thick (not a rat tail or anything) but narrower to go through the handle. It has a hole in the end and a pin is run through the cap and hole to hold it together, making it VERY strong. The cap won't fall off unless you find and pound the pin out.

This was a gift for my nephew and I've never used it. He says he can shoot a bottle cap at 100 yards with it. Sorry I don't know more.

As a supplier to the Austrian military, Gaston Glock was making knives, shovels and ammo cans in Austria well before he made 16 prototype handguns and a 17th production model (Glock 17). I have hard used my Glock field knife by sticking it in things you shouldn't and cutting anything in front of me. I gave the one I purchased recently as a gift to a heavy machine mechanic. He actually uses his harder than I have used mine. I would compare the Glock durability to a Cold Steel product. The fit and finish of the Glock knife is extremely utilitarian (like the pistols). While it will not win a beauty competition it will serve you very well. (P.S. The shovels are even better!).

This one will not ratchet like the original. Only flaw to the product, for hunting it's great. I used it for clay shooting and the cap fell off on me at around 125 shots.

Good question. I see a red cap that is slightly similar to the airsoft cap. Saw nothing on Crosmans site regarding this. I'll bet they pull the picture and put up another when they catch it.

It is only an over the shoulder Baldric. Holds Sword. You will need a belt to tuck your flint lock in or one made for that. I purchased a nice wide heavy buckled belt for tucking the gun purpose. There may be something out there is is a baldric with another hoster like loop on it for ax or pistol but I have not research it of found it. I guess the baldric could be added to but there may be a weight dristribution balance issue.

Assuming their rifles have adjustable sights it'll work. It's mainly useful for scoped weapons though. If they have scopes on flintlock rifles they have an odd sense of history though ;)

They are used for failure trainings such as a failure to fire. You would load a magazine with a snap cap somewhere in the live rounds. While firing the snap cap will simulate a failure to fire and forces you to clear the failure by racking the fire arm. They are also good for magazine loading practice and dry fire practice.

Yes it does. It is a little hard to remove, but it works. Only known locking cap for the Slingshot at present.

Ed, the turrets do not have an external locking mechanism. I must add this also, last week i was shooting a moderately hot load (a couple of grains under max) and i noticed the cross hairs were moving, so i set it back to factory zero and put a snapcap in it and when i drop the hammer on an empty chamber you can see the the cross hairs move and not reset to point of impact. it seems that it has let go inside and won't hold zero. after 4 years of heavy use i feel this is not bad for $250.00 scope. on a rifle with lesser recoil than my .308, who knows how long it will last. hope this helps

It's similar for both applications. On a revolver open the wheel and lock through one of the openings. On pistols lock the slide back, and position the cable lock down through the empty magazine well. On MSR's (AR-15 and AK variants) lock the slide back and run the lock through the brass ejection slot, and down the magazine well. Bolt actions are going to depend on the model, and may require some ingenuity. Just remember that these are intended to lock the operation of the firearm, not the trigger.

Where you see the red, that goes in the barrel. The Black plastic you see is between your weapon and your pants. I have not had a problem with the weapon just wear you underwear up a little. I have not wore it in real hot weather. It take a little effort to get the VersaCarry off your belt.

I am disgusted but not surprised. When I joined the NRA they sent me a black NRA hat. Guess what the inside tag of the hat stated? Yup, made in China. Nothing is sacred anymore. Thanks for the answers.

Yea, that can be confusing since they changed the terminology a bit. I believe the external ratchet used to be called the ball and detent lug system. Unscrew and remove the magazine cap and look for a small ball bearing on the barrel ring and for detents around the outer ring of the cap that match the ball. That would be the external type. If you have no ball bearing on the barrel ring, and the type with indentations and protrusions (teeth) on the magazine insert that match the internal component of the magazine cap, you have the internal ratchet.

It's a twist to use and no cap. Just twist and use. It's a great pen for the price and it has the key in the back. However, I also bought a Surefire (yes, a lot more expensive) and I love it! I lost my first one so I bought two more! It's a click-to-use and it writes smoother and feels better (in my hand) than the Uzi. IMHO.Hope that helps.

Revolver or rifle. Same round .45 Colt You may workup a different load for a rifle but it's the same dies. I don't have a rifle.
