VAriation in manufacture of original revolvers?
Wow! What fantastic replies.. I should start by saying how bowled over I have been by the level of help and patience I have recieved from this forum. I came to this forum a complete stranger, completely ignorant about percussion arms, and yet I have been given a superb welcome and... -

VAriation in manufacture of original revolvers?
Yes thanks... I am learning a little about manufacturing techniques of the time (thanks to this group). Very interesting subject on it's own! I was very surprised when I learned about 'patterns' - this was something I never knew about. I always presumed the manufacturer worked from technical... -

VAriation in manufacture of original revolvers?
While collecting research for my 3D modelling project I have started to notice that there is a degree of variation even in one make and model of original percussion revolvers. Was this generally normal for the time? For example: The Colt Navy 1851 ~ I have many photos of this now (being a... -

Le Mat revolver - trigger assembly question
Gotcha! :) - took me a while (and half a dozen doodles!), but I understand now. Thanks mec. (My next component will be the ram-rod/loading-lever...I think understanding the compound linkage will have me foxed!) :) PS - I tried to avoid all these technicalities by purchasing a non-firing... -

Le Mat revolver - trigger assembly question
I've adjusted my drawing to try and reflect your instructions, mec... I realize that the cylinder lock is very simplified! May I ask an additional question please? The cylinder lock would be in the 'locked' position (fully extended into the cylinder) when the hammer is 'fully cocked' -... -

How a percussion revolver works?
Hi bavarialand, I will be making 2D and 3D animations from this model (and hopefully all the 3D models of Cvil War revolvers I will be doing)... I am looking at Swift 3D which will animate my 3D models and then save them as Flash movies to view on the web. For example, with the Le Mat I want... -

How a percussion revolver works?
I know guys! :youcrazy: When the laws originally changed my local small-bore target club closed, but criminals still managed to buy weapons on the black-market! The UK is a funny place... I can't buy a target or antique pistol ~ but I can buy an automatic weapon from a shady character...Er... -

How a percussion revolver works?
Hi Smoking_Gun ~ The model represented is a Le Mat, with it's huge shotgun barrel going through the center of the cylinder... This *seems* to offset the cone slightly more to the top of the chamber according to my measurements from photos... I *hope* this is correct! LOL (...Or it's back to... -

How a percussion revolver works?
To everyone... Many, many thanks. This is my third attempt at modelling a percussion revolver, and with the help of this forum they improve with accuracy every time. Because of the laws in the UK, I can't do the obvious thing and buy and study a real percussion revolver ~ so I am working a... -

How a percussion revolver works?
Hi guys...Bit of a 'noob' question here... I am making a 3D model of a percussion revolver ~ I am currently making the cylinder... What I would like to know is - I presume (daft question I know) that there is a small hole that goes through the middle of the nipple straight into the chamber...
