Maximum loads for 1858 Remington
But have you done it? Lots of Urban Legend stuff you can read. In a 47 Walker that is going to be well over 1000 FPS. Ruger may handle it but what is the point if its a wild load or you lead up the bore? -

Too much trouble.....
So what is the perceived advantage? All I can see is back in the day it gave you consistency. Anyone that shoots a BP now is astute enough to do a reliable job of it , vs someone off the farm who you just ran through basic. I am not saying a farm lad was dumb, nor a city guy, but... -

Toy Caps in a Black Powder Revolver
I was digging under my shop bench and a tin caught my eye, hmm, that looks like Caps. Yep, from the era, it was a 2nd tin of Caps my wife had to have given me when she gave me the ASP NMA. I found another tin in the same area a while back. No memory of Caps with that gun, but that... -

Issues with new Pietta.
Yea I got my serious lesson on the 76 ASP NMA my wife had and gave to me. Very nice action. I am not an SA guy let alone BP at the time. Then I found that the bolt was supposed to (ahem) get out of and stay out of the way when you pulled the hammer back to half cock. It was getting... -

Shoulder pistols
Good looking set. I would call it stocked pistols. Was not sure what a shoulder pistol was????????? -

My reaction as well though I would put it a lot stronger than that. -

I have to rethink the spare cylinder idea
Carrying a gun like that all to close to parts near and dear has no appeal! -

I have to rethink the spare cylinder idea
Fun to speculate but we will never know. You had two major and how many less mfgs of revolvers and so far no one has reported cylinder records. And clearly if any were procured it was not for a combat reload. Army/Navy procurement would tell you if the govt ordered spares (no reports of... -

Colt ships arms to the Confederates.
That is a new one on me. Hughes was no more nor any less versed in modern aircraft design than was Lockheed, Boeing, Republic, North American and so many more. Japan was license building DC-3s and had bought aircraft from other sources. The Zero was a uniquely Japanese design... -

Issues with new Pietta.
45D strikes again! That action on the bolt and the Pin is almost impossible to see and how and why it works the way it does, well I think you have to have a 3D or 45D brain, I sure do not. Regardless he clearly knows his stuff and I consider it fortunate for us and happy he can make a... -

Does anyone make/sell something like a snap cap cone to dry fire a revolver?
I alwyas put pistols in a category or hand fired guns. The sub category of Revolver, Semi Auto, Muzzle Loaders of various types. Add in some other odd and ends. Basically a single hand use gun, shorter barrel . More close up self defense though offensive use not precluded. Now... -

Keeping an 1858 loaded indefinitely
While I get it, also keep in mind, the dry fire only proves the last set of Caps worked! I only use mine for shooting at the range so no big deal one way or the other for me, I load up a few days before I go down, sometimes I miss a window and its a week or so. On the 47 Walker I never... -

The Colt Open Top Hammer Sight
I shot it Friday. Just what I wanted. With the unmentionable cylinders its still 4 inches high, windage pretty good. With Ball and powder its right on to a bit low. My super glue failed, did not like the snap of the unmentionable cylinder rounds. I taped it back on and kept shooting... -

Should I or should I not?
I fell into a deal on an unmentionable gun some years back. All matching SN. In that case the issue was that parts were known to break. You8 could replace the part(s) but then no longer matching. I never shot it, I sold it to a collector. I had got it for a shooter price. I don't... -

Is there any reason you can't just remove the Cones and dry fire it that way? -

The Colt Open Top Hammer Sight
I should have chemically cleaned the pocket. I had my silver bearing solder melt and the good flux that goes with it. But I had tried electrical solder as well as non silver bearing so very sure I had odd chemistry crud in the slot. Definitely was careful about too much heat but the temp... -

The Colt Open Top Hammer Sight
My wife was both a looker (goddess) and taller than me. Never bothered me though she seemed to think it should. Of course it annoyed her tall guys usually had short SO. Right now I am just going to shoot it and see where it hits using both the BP cylinder and the unmentionable 45 LC...
