Nope. Its all in the materials and or treatment of same. The $64 issue is a combination of expansion and penetration. Also application. If its SD then there is a need not to over penetrate and created a possible hit to an innocent person. For game (assuming something Deer size and...

Me? I am just watching and learned something I had not a clue on. Granted on the history of the BP revolvers I am a rank amateur. Some of the stuff I have read in history books and fiction, but none of it went into detail. The only reason I knew about the Lewis and Clark pneumatic rifle...

They can pay the Haz and still charge $30. My sources says its what it takes to get the mfg and pay the Haz and some profit.

Those Confederate ladies must be pushing 160 or so!.

That is funny. I wanted the Walker because it was heavy. Granted I shoot mostly from a rest. But I love the heft of it.

I tried it. Time spent and my failure rate were both bad. Its supposed to be fun not an endless misery. Grateful I can buy Caps.

When people asked about my carry 41 magnum I told them it was to shoot myself if I encountered a grizzly (brown) bear! I had zero expectations of it for bear SD. Noise maker yes, snipe a bear if I had to if I could get up in a tree (if it would not leave) yes. As noted with the 357...

The OP offered a different title and that is what this should be, his alternative title. As for the Grizzly Bear encounter, we do not know where the two shots penetrated the bear. But that is the goal of a shot, do disabling damage. If you blow a Grizzly bear shoulder out and all it...

I have yet to see anything definitive or general agreement on the various loading practices. Wads and lube over ball are a bore cleaning aspect. Getting the ball further forward may help accuracy so its possible a wads assists that.

Only in the lower 48. We just do not have the breadth of BP shooting up here for caps to show up in other places. I can just buy the over priced caps or spend a lot of time looking in venues that don't have them anyway.

You should be able to drive the wedge back to the spring lip. That is going to determine any issue to start with, heavy whacks or metal needed and ...... After that, assuming the wedge moved ok at the end of the travel, then a whack with your mallet with a bias to the spring lip should...

The issue is laws are worthless if enforced by corrupted individuals. I had to fly to the Philippines to do some work for my company. I had parts and tools. My manager asked me what I would do if I got called on it by Airport customs. Abandon them. We had a tech get shook down on an...

Yea, he was more than generous in explaining the ROA bolt issue and how to correct it. I had got the idea from another of his posts, but the amount I had to take off two ROA, ungh. Nothing I have seen him present and share was wrong. We are beyond fortunate to have him here as well as...

Well, you might consider that not everyone is in the same situation. Haz to Alaska is something like $300, if you can find someone that even does it. So, my local dealer had RWS caps and they were 20 Cents a piece. Yea that sucks. So does trying to make your own caps. Time...

I have been to Puerto Rico. Some fantastic people, more so outside the Cities where they were uniformly nice despite their poverty. This is not directed so much at the OP as people in general. Why anyone would even consider carry anything of any value let alone a gun into that...

Supporting members that offer good info and in the case of 45D, good info and works on guns for folks that the owners all say are seriously great guns. No support should be given just because a member of a group.

How many machinists would even take a fiddly job like that let alone on a gun? Gun fixers yes, professional hobbyists maybe, regular machinist? They would laugh you out of the shop. Sure they can do it, but they won't.

So it should be referred to as a 1858 NMN?

Thanks Mike And others need to keep in mind, only Uberti offers a 47 Walker. So if you want one of those you have to deal with it as is. I wanted one and knew what I was getting into thanks to the group and 45D specifically.
