I just started making these

Hi Mike I have my Col 2nd Gen 1851 Navy boxed up, i just have to get a box to fit it all in, and I will be shipping it on out to you. And yes,.. to the other guys…so far i have had a Uberti Whitneyville Dragoon, and from what I saw..The arbor was short, my Colt 2nd Gen 1851 Navy is really...

I spent about an hour ..maby more.. talking to mike tonight about my pistol, as well as these types of pistols in general, and what should or is expected of them.He’s a cool guy, that cares about these things I look forward to having this pistol rebuilt ..Fixed and upgraded, (Tuned) in the...

Thank you for the reply, however it seems like although crooked..the gap between the forcing cone is still tight enough that there should not need to be anything machined off of the barrel lug? I hope..but I still have to call Mike anyway I’ve been crazy buisy today. Im wanting to just have...

Also, i found that the gap between the forcing cone and cylinder ,seems to be crooked, in that the top of the forcing cone is dragging lightly against the top of the cylinder, while there is a gap between the bottom of the forcing cone and bottom of the cylinder.So the barrel gap is not even...

Sorry to resurrect this, but im just getting into these guns, and my unfired 2nd Gen Colt 1851 Navy has a short arbor, and the gap between the cylinder face and the forcing cone is indeed tighter on the top of the forcing cone then it is on the bottom.I can’t fit a dollar bill in between the top...

I know that it’s all over the web, but there seems to be a mixed set of technique.Soo..i have a Colt 2nd Gen 3rd model Dragoon, as well as a Colt 2nd Gen 1851.Could I get a safe MAX powder charge for these pistols for Paper cartridges.By way of what will fit in the cylinder as well as be safe...

Nice thank you.I have been using a glue stick to apply around the ball, or conical base, then gluing the projectile in, using my finer tips to roll the paper onto the ball or conical. I was thinking of painting or soaking the paper part of the finished cartridge in water thin superglue

Yup..lol…thats what i was talking about..That I couldn’t find…they have the Stump-Out brand, witch is not Sodium Nitrate..Probally purposely since this is Mass I had to order a little bottle Saltpeter purified Postasium nitrate granules on Amazon I am using RAW Cigaret paper, as well as hair...

I’ve been making these, using a glue stick for some, and Duco for others.I tried to find that nitrite solution but my local hardware stores don’t have that.So i tried painting the finished cartridge with Duco Cement and that seemed to (Light a fire under the papers $&@), ..so to speak
