Have been wondering also, thought of posting as Dusty did if anyone has contact with Justin. Sent him a message.

I have both Slix and Track on a dozen or so cap guns and both work "with equal enthusiasm". Do have one '51 Navy 44 with Tresco's, all work as designed. Reference all of the nipple manufacturers advising they were designed for use with CCI #11 caps, they do work well, but Remington #10's work...

I keep my shop compressor drained on a regular basis for moisture and always blow out air in the nozzle before using, even checking what comes out blowing air on a flat piece of iron to check for moisture. I always hold a revolver looking into the barrel and turn the cylinder in bright sun or a...

Not with any longguns (rifles), but before firing any of my collection of percussion revolvers prior to loading after they've been sitting between shoots, I swab any preservative oils out of the cylinders and then give the nipples all a blast with compressed air to clear any and all .Back in the...

No offense to ya 'nkbj', but it sounds like the project would be nothing but 'heartache and sorrow and the wailing and gnashing to teeth'. More power to ya for wanting to fix things without buying but IMO somethings are 'better left well alone'. Ifin yer into buying coffee at those high priced...

Mutton/sheep fat (tallow) has always worked well for me over the years. Also great for making lube for bullets, mix it with the proper paraffin and olive oil. I'm not interested in trying to be 'old timey' and get raw bear, deer, sheep, or whatever fat and mess around rendering it down. Buy the...

Go to the VTI website and compare part numbers between the 1851 model and the 1860 model. It's been awhile since I've checked Taylors or Cimarron's sites, but believe they also show that aspect. I've called all three sites in the past, all very helpful employee's. You'll be surprised at the...

Yes they do, as does SlixShot say the same thing. The truth is Rem 10 and CCI 11 have almost the same internal dimension's, the difference is that the Rem 10's have a longer skirt that fits down over the nipple better giving it an even tighter fit and from what alot has been written and I've...

I don't know where some of you guys get the idea that there are #10 and #11 nipples. There are various makers of after market nipples and then there are the nipples installed by the manufacturers who produce the replica firearms of the 1800's. The ROA is in a class by itself. What there IS are...

I think mine dates back to the early/mid 70's. Have been using AcraGlas since the 70's, good stuff if ya follow directions and don't try to hurry or cut corners. Have everything handy and within arms reach before ya start so ya don't have to try and hunt down, dig out, or wish you had...

No, the Dragoon's are all bigger. The 1851 and 1860 have some inter-changeability. Go to a site like VTI to check what will work with what.

Now that's a thought Smokerr'!!! 🤔👍 I have read where our Italian manufacturers have changed some things over the years but have also read the opposite that it is of no consequence. Others may chime in that have more knowledgeable on this. I know that a Euroarms 1851 Colt Navy (44 caliber) I...

I hate using a ladle, that's why my old Lyman bottom pour furnace bought back in '79 is still flowing. I took heavy stiff black wire, bent it 90*, sort of put a 4-corner point on it, then bent the wire to make a loop handle and wrapped the end around the area just ahead of the 90*bend so it was...

Well I have parts that I've had since the 70's and haven't lost them. I keep everything in a small upright container with small plastic sliding drawers, all marked as to what's in them. I've lost my cell phone more in the last 2-3 years than any gun parts. Use the wife's phone to call my number...

Good advice given. With the OP's situation living a few water miles from the US, I'd obtain a like spring for every one in his revolver, plus an extra hand and bolt. Ya never know, IMO paying for something while here in the US even though it may lay around for awhile would be cheaper than having...

If I type ALR as a search on my desk computor, I get that so-called page of what has been ID'd as Turkish writing with the swimsuit gal or what ever she has on. If I put it on my favorites and click on it I get the same thing. If I click on the link in rich pierce's post #32 it will come up as...

Know what yer saying, but I've been putting off buying a new over priced vehicle as I can get along with what I have until prices go back to a more realistic level. Hope and beleive that will happen with a more competent administration in D.C. that will bring back the cost of energy which will...

Buyer Beware. Checked Brownells caps currently for sale. $120 per 1000 for #11 CCI Magnum caps ($12 per 100) and $111 per 1000 for #10 CCI caps ($11 per 100). Buyer then pays shipping costs, plus Hazmat fee (not cheap). Brownells was recently waiving Hazmat fee and was offering free shipping on...

Well it's workin ok about five minutes ago. Thnaks rich'. CC

Today is Nov 11th at 1642 hrs central time, anyone successfully log onto the ALR forum today. I haven't for several days as some Turkish handwritten site comes up with a bikini glad gal. Alot of reports on this, I don't want to try to prevent some lowlife scammer being successful.
