I saw a youtube video in which the shooter opened up his cap wells to the sides so a Cash capper would fit easily. I'm thinking of doing this to my Remington replicas but am concerned about flashover.
It figures that by opening the area of the "Window" to the side of the nipple well the velocity of exiting gases would be slower, probably by a considerable degree. OTH, I do not know if this would make flashovers to adjacent chamber's caps more or less probable!
I'm thinking of doing this in the milling machine so I suppose they would look like Colt nipple wells.
Also, I saw a video wherein the shooter had a flashover and he expressed concern about damaging his revolver, but looking over the Remington replica's it seems to me that any chamber that flashes over will dump pressure the millisecond that the ball has opened up between it and the chamber opening, unlike those that exit into the barrel.
So, how dangerous are they, both as unguided missiles and as revolver wrecking lead hammers?
Thanks for ideas,
