I don't recall seeing that price on a walker in many years, is this one of those things that requires a special promotional code?

This will be your best option with the Scout. IIRC the communication hole in the end of the breech is ~ 1/16 inch. Use a vent/nipple pick to push 10 grains of powder through then re-install the nipple-breech plug and shoot it into a box filled with magazines.

Yes. Take care not to over heat it as you cut it off. Keep in mind that you need only ream the portion of the chamber that holds the ball.

10 times better than the factory finish.

Yes very easy to use. Take it slow making sure to keep the reamer straight and it will center itself. I use $2/pint mineral oil laxative from Walmart pharmacy for cutting oil. No need to measure, just keep increasing the cut until the slugged ball slips into the chambers. Take care not to over...

Chamfer the edges chambers. Tapering the chambers themselves would be a bad idea as the ball in the adjacent chambers could move forward during recoil.

The blades fit into grooves on the shank. The grooves are tapered and get shallower toward the back of the shank. The back of the blades are also tapered to match the shank so that cutting edges are always parallel to the axis of the shank. Picture two cedar shims sliding against each other in...

Yes. I have both and have reamed Pietta 1858's .44 and .36 models. I ordered those exact Victor Machining reamers from another source.

I realize that it sounds like a pretty weak excuse, but she does have a way of making it difficult to concentrate. [/URL][/IMG]

I generally blame my wife.:evil:

It's not about the rifling on the ball, it's about where the holes are on the target.

Your test results show that the balls are larger than the land to land dimensions but tell nothing about the balls relation to the groove dimensions. Try J-bars method and see if the balls drop into the chamber. I always run the ball about half way into the greased barrel and then hammer it...

This one for a cylinder or two. http://www.amazon.com/RMBLC-2A-Carbon-Steel-Adjustable-Reamer/dp/B0007CTT3A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388856889&sr=8-1&keywords=2a+reamer This one if you have several to do...

A four foot length of half inch copper pipe with a funnel taped to the end makes loading powder into the chamber much easier. A baby bottle brush makes a quick job of cleaning said chamber.

This is very good to hear. Thank you for posting.
