Never thought of that. I just might give it a try.
But then I'd have to buy another Spiller

Interesting, but the Whitney frame shape is quite different from the Spiller and Burr, much more open in front of the cylinder.

Never seen an original. That's interesting.
The replicas I had were the same. They were Palmetto kits. The only difference was the frame. Brass and steel.
My friend has a Palmetto Whitney and he told me it wasn't any different than the Pietta Spiller, besides the frame.
