Hello everyone.

[TomcatPC]

I just registered here after lurking for a few days.
I am new to muzzleloaders and fairly new to black powder (I have fired black powder loaded .44 Winchester Centre Fire cartridges from my Uberti replica single action revolver (and loved it!)).
I recently bought a Uberti replica of a Colt 1851 Navy (I went for the London model as both sides of my family are originally from England), and was given a Lyman Plains Pistol in .50 Cal. by a friend. So that is my start into muzzleloading, I have not fired either yet.
I'm not sure the percussion revolver actually counts as a muzzleloader, but here I am...

Welcome to the Forum, from the Forks of the Ohio.

Your percussion revolver is not a muzzleloader, it is actually a centerfire. But we discuss them here on the Forum, because they were current during the time period encompassed by the Forum ( which includes the Civil War). We don't discuss modern cartridge guns, or modern in-line muzzleloaders (see Forum Rule, Rule 7, found under MLF Announcements and Forum Help, right below the Welcome to the Forum thread).

You will love your 1851 London Colt Navy.

What????? A centerfire????? Never heard of a percussion centerfire. Least my Navy Colt doesn't work that way. I call it a Cap & Ball revolver.

Welcome to the forum from the great state of Texas. What part of the earth are you calling home?

I also call it a cap and ball revolver, it may be a "CENTRAL FIRE" but it certainly isn't a centerfire cartridge revolver.

 

[Grumpa]

It is a cap and ball revolver, not cartridge. But, it is also considered a center fire, and percussion cap tins used to be so marked. Makes a difference when you are deciphering game laws, and what firearms you can hunt with.
