1860 Army and Pocket Police

[ernbar]

Finally got around to putting in action shields on my 1860 Army and Pocket Police. Pumped up the internals with Mobil 1 Synthetic grease and both are running super smooth. I have the same mods done to my other 3 BP pistols and love how the fowling and fragments stay out of the internals thanks to the action cover.

Hey Mike I got the idea from a fellow member here!

Good job!! That's one very worthwhile upgrade!! I put those on "unmentionables" too since they are packed with Mobil1 as well. It's just nice knowing your frame is "closed" from outside contamination.

Here's 3 of Kaido's that just got that !

Great looking lineup Mike. I see you have extra protection with the rakes staked in.

Yessir, these came through the shop years ago. In fact one of them was early on when I wasn't even doing the coil springs yet (not even the coil/ pushrod for the hand !). They just got "updated" to the current state of "Outlaw Mule". Kaido had taller front sights put on them (one being a filament) and of course you can see the picatinny mounts on the Walker.
Kaido's revolvers are strictly hunting machines.

Oh, the cap posts are stainless and are screwed in. I don't trust just staking them.
Thanks!!
