Thanks for the input. This option would only be used at our local cowboy shooting matched. I figured this would be easier than going the traditional C&B route because of some embarrassing moments in the past: caps getting jammed and locking up the cylinder, a cylinder not firing, having to...

Hey all, I shoot a couple of Walkers and would like a little input. Shooting at our local meets can get interesting at times. With the loading of powder (even using paper cartridges), the putting on of the caps, the using of the lever, etc., etc., I have been thinking of using a conversion...

Tap-A-Cap INFO Glad to see someone else went with a Tap-A-Cap. I got one about 2 months ago, but have not been into shooting much as of late-too many other pressing things taking up all my time. The only thing you need to keep in mind when using these caps (at least according to a heck of a...

I am posting this in the blackpowder forum because it is (from what I can tell) strictly related to BP. If it needs to be moved, please do so. I would like to buy a Tap-a-Cap at a decent price to try it out. If you have one laying around that you are not satisfied with or just want to dispose...

I just got a copy of a special edition put out by SHOOT Magazine entitled "Black Powder and The Old West, Frontier Cartridge Guns & Cap-N-Ball". Lots of good, interesting stuff in it includint a great article on the Lemat revolver. If you can get your hands on a copy it will answer a lot of...

I just bought a new Walker from Midway about 3 weeks ago. At that time I had called everybody that listed Walkers on their web sites and got the same story: The prices reflected the OLD pricing, there were none in stock, they did not have a definite delivery date, could not guarantee the low...

I have asked this question on another forum, but decided to ask here also. What is the Frank Leman makeover?:confused: This has something to do with tuning a Colt C&B revolver, or so I believe since the thread I saw this mentioned on was discussing this subject. I have looked through the...

I have Treso nipples on both my Ubertis. Remingon #11's split all apart. I will try the above suggestions and go from there. I only seem to be able to find Remington and CCI caps around the Corpus Christi area. Who makes caps other than those? I would be willing to try other brands if they...

Thanks guys! I will try both methods and maybe one will work.

Need to know something. Went shooting yesterday and was using my NEW Uberti Walker and the Uberti I bought in December. The new one was TIGHT and tended to foul up FAST! The biggest problem I had was the constant jams with split caps! I was using Remington#11's and paper cartridges I learned...

Yep, lotsa fun:D!!! The "cowboy" style wear is required for SASS shooting which I am becoming involved in so I thought I would dress for the pics. The red shirt is one of the blouses I have and I'm adding to the wardrobe as I can. I'm on a weight loss regime and have lost 35 lb. since the...
