I'll add them to my Canada store on Amazon. I'll tag you once I get it figured out.

You're just a real daisy, aren't ya.

If your gun is the same as mine, it'll likely require either a base that will need the barrel drilled and tapped or a dovetail to be cut into the barrel. But there's a few other ways to go about it too.

I had cap jams out the wazoo with my 1849 colt pocket until I started using my plastic percussion caps. Now it's not a problem, ever.

I'm still pretty new to black powder and bought a Pietta Sheriffs model of the 1858 Remington in 44 and was quite surprised the force it put on the steel gongs at the range.

The arbor is in tension, not shear.

That's a good idea that I'll have to use!

Thank you. It's funny you mention your 1849. My pocket colt was terrible about cap jams with factory caps but now it doesn't have any issues at all using the 3d printed ones.

They tear free but you might have to clean up the remaining flashing with scissors. An exacto knife might work pretty good too.

Drilling and tapping the front of the arbor won't cause any issues.

My 1849 pocket model has the short arbor. I'm just going to center drill the front of it and install a machine screw and cut it to length to where the cylinder gap is perfect when the wedge is tight. Edit to add: Its a new Uberti

I've relined quite a few barrels. It's not difficult but time consuming.

I can't say this definitively to be the case but I've repaired quite a few firearms that were worked over by skilled gunsmiths that were just getting up in age and starting to lose their touch. It happens.

Use 3f triple 7 if you want reliable ignition with a sulfur free powder. Ive seen others here say that the 2f triple 7 gives them the same issue, regardless of breech type.

I only use triple 7 but my gun being dirty nags at my ocd so I take it to my shop the next day and scrub it out.

Nobody is infallible but I also know that if I buy something at Bass Pro, they aren't going to tell me they only accept Venmo or Zelle, so I surely don't expect to do the same with an online store. And I've posted plenty of helpful and constructive things on this forum.

People in the group that you mentioned above should really have a conservatorship if they are susceptible to fall for such scams. The other group of people are those that believe anything that they see online because they aren't tech savvy and don't understand that photoshop exists. I do agree...

I never understood how some people can be so gullible to fall for some scams. If you're standing in line at Walmart to buy Steam gift cards to pay the IRS your taxes, then you might just deserve to be out some money. Admittedly some other scams are pretty convincing but some couldn't be any...

Had a customer bring in a Hopkins and Allen inline with a breach plug so badly stuck that I had to remove the barrel from the reciever and put it into the lathe and drill out the plug then bore out the minor thread diameter and remove the remnants as a spring with a pick. What a pain.

Just fired it into my testfire drum for the first time with 7 grains of triple 7 and got 497fps. It's a fun little thing.
