Never said that, I have seen and fixed a few of them that beat themselves into a paperweight. If you don't want to believe it that's fine go ahead and keep your head in the sand.

Wow this thing is really circling the drain now! Sacrilege I tell you!

I have T.C hot shot nipples on one of my Walkers. It had a habit of blowing the factory nipples out and in your face. I tapped and threaded the metric holes to 12/28 to fit the hot shot nipples. They've been in there for over 20 years with no issues. The vent hole on the side splits the cap...

Amen brother, that was my goal as well, gets aggravating when you lead the horse to water and he refuses to drink but would rather tell you it's my way or the highway.

One of the things Mr Deland is apparently incapable of grasping is the ability to think outside the box. If anyone is being ignorant it is Mr. Deland. You refuse steadfastly to believe what is right in front of your own eyes. Mike and I deal with these revolvers on a very regular basis. We see...

This fellow really doesn't want to learn. Reckon he don't grasp the concept of friction or believes braking involves having asbestos pads involved.

Agreed that it's a PITA to get that accuracy load. But once you're there you don't need to change it. My best loads for my .50s are 65 grns of 3f and an.018 canvas duck patch lubed with Pinesol. Very accurate with open sights.

be sure to correct the short arbor, if you do nothing else to the pistol fix the arbor.

doubt it, common sense is not in play here. I think he just likes to argue no matter how wrong or off the rails he goes.

no doubt they were hot tanked in caustic salts. I've done both hot salts and hot water blue, much prefer the hot water method. Also done lot's of browning and don't see much difference in how corrosive one is over the other. Of course where I am located may have an effect usually under 11% humidity.

Blueing and browning are both a rusting process, not sure why one would do any more damage then the other.

He's off his meds again. He needs to check his ego and he actually learn something.

If you're getting silly with this a rail bolted to the top of the barrel just ahead of the forcing cone would probably be the easiest solution. It's still sacrilege I tell ya...sacrilege!

I would go back to basics and start with 60 grains of powder, shoot a group, increase by 5 grains, shoot a group. Repeat until the group size comes in where you want it. If it starts opening up you've reached your max accuracy load.

I have customer that tried to double the hammer spring to stop cap sucking and the hammer bouncing to the half cock notch. He tried changing nipples, doubling the hammer tension and none of that worked. A cap post and action shield solved the problem. I set the hammer pull to 4.5 lbs, enough to...

I have seen Walkers, Dragoons, 1851s, 1860s and pocket model open tops with cap fragments in the innards. An action shield and cap post pretty much takes it out of the picture. Most would still function but were really sketchy on whether or it would go boom. I had one that at least a half dozen...

Reasonable price around 300 to 350.

I am one state east of you. I am a BP gunsmith and pistol tuner. PM me if you would like to know more.

Jerry's book is my Bible on these pistols. If I'm still puzzled I call Mike. Mr. Deland once again has demonstrated his lack of knowledge on how these pistols work and his desire not to learn how they work. Mike and I both work on these things all the time, I am always learning some new quirk or...

Sacrilege I tell you! Sacrilege.
