thanks for posting the about the felt, been looking through my credit card slips to see who it was. Plus it is 1/8 not 1/4" what I got too, got to stop sniffing the powder before i shoot.

why yes that is the one, will post photo Made about 200 .380 round balls today, my wife thinks I am nuts The tallow and beeswax works great for fouling. Only issue the barrel has to be tapped to seat on the pins. If anyone knows if this could be an issue please let me know

i want to be careful in my reply:) use, if I remembered right, 1/4" felt( bought about 2 yds, grandkids will be punching out wads long after I am gone). Then I soak them in a beeswax, tallow mixture, and they work great. Before I made any for the navy I punch some and used bore butter and the...

I apologize for my post and will put the phone down when I get excited about a new item. God bless you all mod please delete this post

even a blackpowder forum polices symbols, I must be getting old. Time to go back to the woods and shoot before all this is a memory.

Been watching Cabelas for a sale on the "yank" navy and there it was so "Happy Father's Day" to me. What a good time shooting it, bought 50 lbs of lead today on Craigslist and a mold coming from amazon. Made wads last night and load of balls to play with. Just wish I caught the sale in April...

Well tried the new spring approach and same results as the oem spring but it does feels stiffer. Still the balls to shoot, after i send my walker to Mike this one might be next. Debating on installing a cap post, just want to be sure that procedure would fix the issue before i change anything on it

Have the same issues with my brand 1849 wells fargo oem nipples 3f @ 10 gr 00 buck (all available at time) #10 and #11 same results compared to my other colt, spring does feel soft until it is cocked considering installing the pin to prevent cap drop BUT it is still the cat ass to...

Can you imagine the look on some unfortunate soul who deserved to look at one these from the wrong end

we have turned blue in my poor state but you can still open carry.

My son bought me a 1849 "Wells Fargo" for Christmas and it is a hoot to fire. By the way I want to thank you all for this addiction, a walker, 1860, new army and now this one since July. But back to my point, I have decided to start carrying it for my every day carry because it is such a nice...

thanks Mike for the info, i have a walker that is my favorite and i want to send your way. I will contact you for when is it a good time for you to work on it Probably should start a new thread but i will ask here. I got a gift card for a shop here that carrys the wells fargo instead of the...

i knew this would be a mistake i am a well driller so everything needs to be harden

The wedge does not seat square in the barrel and is not flush on the frame locking pins. When I check the depth of the base pin into the barrel it seems a couple thousands to long which would cause the wedge to not seat square Question do I fine tune it or return to cabelas for an exchange...

Darn should of held out for the rugers

the wife is really being unreasonable about this, have to wait till the 25th fortunately I have a nice Walker and a new army to satisfy the need to make smoke. She still trying to figure out why I need more than one, i said "you have more than one pair of shoes" but that logic did not get me to far

I am a lucky person(PC) My dear wife bought me a pietta 1860 but one big catch! Can not fire it till Christmas:)

finally sighted in the walker, it is so much fun to shoot that it took me a couple hundred rounds. I would start working off my bench at 50 yds with my "sightin target" then the sound of lead hitting different targets, penetration in old water tanks etc would become the game. So today even with...

Local shop has 2 but the 1265 price tag
