where can i buy used black powder revolvers?

I would look on here for a used gun. If your only option is a black powder firearm for carry I would look for a Remington 1858 in 44 caliber. They are reasonably reliable and easy to cut down for concealed carry. Here is a photo of one cut down.

I don’t believe I created a thread for that. I posted it on other threads. You can find lots of info on YouTube. That’s where I got the idea and methods to do it.

I didn’t have success with the loading lever at this time. It kept falling down when shot. Others on YouTube have had better luck than I did. I may revisit it at some point. Now I’m using a latch sold by companies like Howell and Taylors. It works really well.

I knew about those latches that they sell. But I just think the NMA looks slick WITH the loading lever. Yours looks outstanding with the lever. I may try to keep the stock type latch setup.

There are reasons for not allowing someone to purchase guns ..... not only just being a felon. The O.P might consider a bit different life style if he is that sure of being a target of violence. He might consider talking to a professional concerning his fears as well. Either way he does not warrant my help in getting a weapon....if he can't figure it out himself.

What makes you think he is a modern day criminal? He could of had a cop lie on him and it could of been 19 years ago. Assumptions are a killer.

He appears to be in Maine because he has asked about public places to shoot here. He says he cannot get a permit for a cartridge gun (odd, because one doesn't need a permit in Maine), and says he won't elaborate on his circumstances. It leads us to believe he is (for whatever reason) a prohibited person. In Maine, even BP guns are firearms under the legal definition of restricted weapons.

It is possible he's legally a resident of another state where a permit is required, and not a resident of Maine, but he's not saying.
