    lube advice

    Many interesting procedures. I've seen your advice in other threads. Would be interested in what you might advise for a hot/humid climate? The more choices the merrier. LOL.

    lube advice

    Just to keep the powder soft and the gun from possible binding as it gets dirty.

    lube advice

    I'm looking for a simple over the ball lube that will not get runny in this Fla heat. Prefer to go over the ball instead of wads. Thanks.

    Colt Navy/3rdMod Dragoon all shoot to the left

    Are you using a two handed grip? If so the weak hand (left if your a rightie), at the moment of the shot, may squeeze somewhat more then the strong hand and pull the shot left.

    I thought I did try that but maybe not. When my head stops spinning I'll give it a shot. LOL. Thanks for your tips and patience.

    God bless her. She must have more patience then me. So what did I probably do wrong? Still don't get why only one pic showed up the first time. I didn't wait long enough for the others to upload? When I thought the pics transferred to the post I hit preview but only saw one pic.

    Don't know exactly what you mean? In photobucket I clicked the share link and img for each pic. When I click paste it the post only the one pic showed up. Pls bear with me at 68 not the sharpest knife in the draw when it comes to computers. Thank you.

    Here is the 3rd one. Don't why they all did not appear in one post?

    One more thing. The back of the cyl does not have the pins for the hammer notch to engage. I guess ASP realized these pins can damage the raised recoil shield as I have read somewhere(here?). Just a guess though.

    proof house markings

    It came in. It's as Hawkeye stated: Assembled but somewhat crude finish. It's blued. The styrofoam box supports the assembled theory as it is cut out for a complete firearm not little individual compartments for a from scratch assy. The brass is cast and somewhat rough with flashing seams. Grip...

    I see. The only reason I asked is that I saw a pic somewhere, can't remember, that showed a box with a diasassembled gun and all the parts were in numbered compartments.

    proof house markings

    Thanks Hawkeye but just to clarify: They were fully assembeled but were called KIT guns? Seems contradictory but the world of bp and firearms in general goes that way. LOL.

    proof house markings

    From the pics I know it's brass but that's ok. I have to use a public range and only get out there once a month. With my other firearms I shoot these bp revolvers will not get overused. Plus I use light loads. Thanks fellas for all the info.

    proof house markings

    Very informative explanation. Thank you. I bought it off Armslist and it is on the way. The guy emailed me a few more pics in the meantime. One is the end of the box. It's light blue box with a yellow tag that states "colt navy 1851 reb kit .36". By the way the gun looks like it's a factory...

    proof house markings

    I'm getting my second bp revolver. An 1851 Navy. Possibly from Armi San Paulo. It was made in 1985 and some of the instruction papers say Muzzle Loaders Inc. It also has assembly instructions which makes me think it was a kit gun. The guy does not know but says it has never been fired. However...

    potassium nitrate paper

    The tissue is a little more delicate but for my needs it holds up fine. I just shoot at a public range. I have them in a little tin. They really don't get banged around much. From house to range to chamber. I use 27gr in my 44. They slip right into the chamber without having to cram them in. I'm...
