    Cylinder alignment issue?-Walker

    Hi all, hope someone can help me out here. I am new to the Walker revolver world and am wondering.....I was looking at a ASM model (used) and noticed when looking down the barrel that the cylinder mouth was not in perfect alignment with the barrel. How big an issue is this and is it a fairly...

    A question for you professors of conversion BP revolvers

    So then the ejector and loading gate are just for looks; looks pretty sweet. What is the cost to convert to look like this for actual function; ballpark?

    A question for you professors of conversion BP revolvers

    I was at the local pawn shop today, looking at BP arms of course, came across this pistol minus the cylinder (sorry no pics). It had about a 4" blued barrel, Pietta, BP only. Case hardened steel frame. There was no loading lever or plunger and the cylinder pin seemed to be a knob with a...

    Remmy Buffalo 12" barrel

    As a matter of fact I just saw one this afternoon, 12" blued barrel, stainless steel frame. Did not examine it in hand, so not sure of the maker or model; .44 cal., nice looking piece though. Sorry could not be of more help, but I am thinking it was a Pietta.

    FFF powder loads for 45cal. carbine

    I am southeast of Colville; Chattaroy area. I don't know about the whitetail population peaking or not. In my backyard that is all that is to be found; and pretty plentiful too! Even had a band of about 15 elk pass through, nice bull too; before season of course! I will have to get a photo...

    FFF powder loads for 45cal. carbine

    I actually never remove my drum or snail clean out screws; sooner or later they always get buggered up, if not already by the time I get rifle. To clean I remove the nipple, after the swabbing of the bore with breech in very hot water I will take a stout q-tip and clean the area under the...

    FFF powder loads for 45cal. carbine

    I bet your son is proud of that one! Looks alot like the Hurricane, although the specs don't quite match up to any of my resources. Does the barrel have any manufacture stampings? Whatever the case may be, looks like you will be in for some good quality time working up a good accurate load.

    FFF powder loads for 45cal. carbine

    Generally speaking, shallow grooves will benefit more from Minies, accuracy wise. Not to say PRB can't be made to work in that style of rifling. Is it 3 lands and 3 grooves found on the majority of Navy Arms rifles? Can you post pics? Maybe you got one of the Navy Arms' Hunter or Hurricane I...

    FFF powder loads for 45cal. carbine

    Just out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, what did the young one become the proud owner of? Might ask too, is the rifling twist designed for PRB (slow twist)?

    FFF powder loads for 45cal. carbine

    Hey 7, see your from WA. as well; I am just north of Spokane myself. At any rate I use 3F in near most everything-even the .58. Your .45 should do extremely well with 3F. For the most part you will get a "cleaner burn" with that granulation. I even use it as pan powder in a flinter, works...

    Those all sound like good ideas; let us know end result of which procedure you use. Hopefully your jag and patch have created a good enough seal for the above options to work. Generally when stuck they do.

    I agree with Cowboy, with that kind of money go for a nice custom designed to fit your needs and wants.
