Have a reproduction 1861 New Army w/ fully fluted cylinder. Have been around and used cap & ball revolvers for many years, Remingtons, Confederate Colts, etc. Absolutely love them. Mostly, I've carried them as self-defense weapons and never felt under armed or at a disadvantage to cartridge...

Know that perhaps this reply is a bit dated, but in Daniel Boone S4 E6, The Imposter, the rifle used was not a Ferguson. Ferguson rifles did not have tilting, tip-up breeches. On the Ferguson, the trigger guard rotated lowering a screw-plug, giving access to the breech. You loaded a patched...
