    Wads in Pietta 1858

    Read the manual from a cap n ball revolver, such as Ruger... It can ignite powder residue in the mouth of the case. There is NO definitive proof of the "theory" that the chamber(s) are ignited from only the rear. There ARE videos of chain-fires from BOTH ends of the chambers.

    Ever shoot a stuck ball...what happened?

    Yikes!! Don't EVER shoot with a barrel obstruction. Great way to "ring" your barrel. Not a good decision

    Chasing T/C Threads

    If the threads are too bad to repair, you can drill and tap for an insert, to keep the original size threads.

    Polishing the bore on a new ML.............

    Polishing the bore on a new ML.............
