Good Morning Shawnee
M.A.A.S. is a metal polish really good stuff for steel. I found it by accident at Walgreens while looking for brasso.

scrat · February 25, 2008, 09:35 AM

Canadians sure can join.

Welcome aboard BDFT.

Sounds like Shawnee needs to go and get a Walker

scrat · February 25, 2008, 09:37 AM

snaggle nice pics very nice pics.

Question where did you get the boxes.

Snaggletooth · February 25, 2008, 11:07 AM

Shawnee, I give up. I use Photobucket and picasa. I cant get my pics from a Kodak to upload to photobucket and cant get the Pics in Picasa to go on bulletin boards or forums..P on it

Shawnee · February 25, 2008, 02:38 PM

Hi Snaggletooth...

It was just a link error. Mukluk posted the correct link for you in his post above, It works fine.

Hmmm, why don't we have a Dragoon thread?

The Dragoon was designed for women to shoot. The Walker was to big for the womenfolk of the time, so they designed the Dragoons. If you want to start a "Womanish men who like dragoons" club, then by all means, go ahead.

GENTLEMAN OF THE CHARCOAL · February 25, 2008, 04:37 PM

Owwweeee!!!

I thought Kim Darby and Josey Wales both used Walkers?

BDFT, WELCOME ABOARD!!
Excuse me Mr. BDFT, but are you sure that's a Walker? Look's a little bit like an roa in drag....
(just joking!)

scrat · February 25, 2008, 11:09 PM

hahahhaha

How are you doing tonight. GOC good to hear from you. Have you tried posting any pictures yet. I know the forum about two hours ago was very very slow. i just kept getting errors. I had to go to the firing line.
\

GENTLEMAN OF THE CHARCOAL · February 25, 2008, 11:41 PM

Evening Scrat. Yeah, I have tried several times over the last couple of hours or so. I'll hang with it a little while longer. I may get a couple posted.
Yeah the forum was freezing up so badly a couple of hours ago I almost shut it down....
My computer I mean....

GENTLEMAN OF THE CHARCOAL · February 26, 2008, 07:40 PM

Are you around Scrat, or are you out testing powder loads?....

JCT · February 27, 2008, 01:18 PM

You might as well add me to the list. I sent in my membership and my Walker is on it's way from Taylors. Should be here Friday and I'll post some pictures then.
Hopefully Taylors comes through with my request, I told them I'd prefer if they could pick one that doesn't have a straight grain grip, I like some figure or uniqueness to it. They said no problem since they had a bunch to choose from they'd pick one out for me.
$385 after shipping! These are going up and up! My friends Walker was $295 from Blockade runner 2 years ago and most prices then were right around $300! Get a Walker while you can!
Any recommended loads? I use 40 grains in my Uberti Dragoon, I might start there with the Walker. .457 balls and #10 remington caps should work fine since they do on the Dragoon.

GENTLEMAN OF THE CHARCOAL · February 27, 2008, 01:36 PM

Bigbadgun fire's 50 or 55 grains, I forgot which.
I fire 48 grains in rough country. Triple Seven (3fff).
My normal working load ranges from around 38 to 42 grains. Triple Seven (3fff).
Remington #10's may be a little tight.
The Uberti .44 Walker call's for #11's....
I just checked my First Model Dragoon's (still stripped down) manual and also called DGW and they call for #11's on the Dragoons also. I guess you do what you want to. It's your gun and you paid for it....

RugerBob · February 27, 2008, 01:40 PM

JCT Congrats on getting a Walker. I use .454 balls and #10 caps. Let me know how the .457 work, I may have to try them. 40 grains of Goex is what I started with also. Best of luck with the "holy Black". RugerBob

bigbadgun · February 27, 2008, 01:47 PM

JCT Welcome to the club.
I use .454 over 50 grains and a wad all day long my Walker dont like .457s.
Oh and #11 Remington caps
