    Walker Revolver in the Civil War?

    Your right about the weight and yes it is held in place by a wedge instead of a threaded barrel into the frame,but what I was refering to was that he changed the direction of the rifling for some unknown reason,why I never heard any real good reason unless it was because he was left handed as...

    Walker Revolver in the Civil War?

    Only thing I have to say is that thing is heavy and until S&W came out with the 44mag. I'm told it was the biggest handgun ever made.Some say it was even bigger than the 44mag. depending on how brave you were in loading it.Any way if JOESY WALES can pack two of those things and fire one in each...

    What is/ was this?

    I agree that it isn't the original trigger guard but looks like one of those Folberts that were made back in the mid-1900's.As to the the gun being a flintlock at one time,doesn't look it to me looks like it was born percussion"Blunderbuss" Just my opinion...White Cloud

    CVA Mountain Rifle.....no good??

    I agree with the thinking that if it doesn't go free when loading at that spot its just a bad shaping job at that spot.It won't hurt anything and you say it don't shoot bad, but its kinda like taking the prettist girl in school to the prom and notice she has a little wart on her nose,don't hurt...
