    Ruger Question

    I just have to be patient and wait for the CFC to approve my application to purchase the Ruger Cap'n'Ball. Is there anywhere I can get spare cylinders for the Ruger .45? I seen conversion ones made to fire 45 centerfire pistol ammo! Rob

    Ruger Question

    When I get it should I try .454 and .457 RB's? I assume it will be #11 caps but guess it could be #10's. Should be fun to plunk with it. ROB

    Ruger Question

    I was told by a guy at the range that he has a Ruger Old Army 45 cal (BP). Any info on it would be good ie ball size and what not. I thought they were in 44cal. I need to make a decision if I should get it. He claims its never been fired. Rob

    Missouri 'white flints'

    My flints have arrived and from the initial test in a dark room, I would say they shower sparks well. I will give them a range run tomorrow and see what happens. I do think for my GPR I should have chosen a different size other than 7/8 wide by 1" long! Maybe 3/4 by 7/8 long? Rob

    newbie questions
