I have done a couple of thousand cans for this. With a thin sharp knife stab in just above the bottom .About 1/8" to 3/16" above the bottom where it is full size. Any lower and it's too thick. Work the knife around the bottom and cut it off. With a scissors cut up the can to the top. Use the...

Hey guys I have a dandy binder to use to retain and secure your priming in the cup,regardless of what that might be. Take a pinch of any fast pistol smoke-less powder. Put that in a tablespoon of acetone cover and give it a hour. Uncover and stir well. use some sort of dipstick.I use pipe...

Your arbor press could be ideal. Find a way to mount the die body upside down to the ram. Mount the punch to a board like I did with the drill press setup. The cups will fall straight down into something you choose . The leverage on the arbor press is well suited for this use, Better than a...

You would be farther ahead if you used the priming powders. Three cap dots will prove to be not powerful enough . Been there and done that. You are using full strength Duco . That will empty a tube fast. Thinned down is the way and works better if using the powders.

Hi Dave No pictures of the press setup. I do have some pictures of my drill press mounting. That worked really well and is a lot easier to do than the reloading press setup. Have you seen the pictures of that?

What video would that be? I have only seen one 3d printed cap maker on ebay and the is from Poland. The teeth on the punch looked mangled . Somebody was making a aluminum cap maker years ago it must have worked,for a while anyway.. It's not hard to put the currently made cap maker on a drill...

Forrester did make a press mounted die for this.Called the Auto-Cap The die body was threaded to fit in the press from the underside and the punch would fit a 38 special shell holder. the cups would fall out like spent primers.I modded the currently made Cap Maker for a reloading press.It works...

Do you guys know that 9mm rimfire is still to be had? Midway has them. 9mm is close to 38 and could maybe made to work. They are in the form of brass shotshells. Just throwing that out there.

If Colt really did this.We don't know how the gun was prepared. Also If the gun was placed in like a bucket nose down The caps had a better chance of keeping the water out. Push a water glass upside down in water and no water gets very far up the inside. Black Jack Shellac

Sam Colt did demonstrate how water resistant his revolvers were. He would sometimes place a loaded revolver in water give his speech. At the end he would pick up the revolver and shoot it. If the balls sealed and the caps fit tight ,I can see this working. I don't know where I seen this but it...

Hi Cliff The APP will work in your revolver but you will likely find it's power lacking. You may well have to use a bigger charge to get the power you are used to. It will burn fairly clean too. Black Jack Shellac

I have had two TC breaches that I removed. Tried the soaking bit.Might have worked with more time,like a couple of months. As it was ,it took a lot of heat.Just about red hot to get them off. They both went back on and stood heavy test loads when tested. I have something for removing carbon from...

hawg I think you are right about that. Colt could not have had the results he had if his guns were jamming so often. I now make my own caps and since I started using .005 thick brass for them no jams at all. They don't fall off and don't fragment. Double layer pop cans are fine for single shot...

The shim was not glued or attached. That made it tricky to keep it in place when the cylinder was inserted. It could have stayed with that except I can't leave anything alone.. Black Jack Shellac

The shim can work.I made one for my rem brasser. It had a .016 gap.the shim cut that down to .005. Me being me I had to do the other thing.That is remove the barrel and set it back one turn. Make adjustments to the barrel face and done. I just barely got by with the lever latch not needing to be...

Yes They are the same..Jackrabbit already offered to fix the sear. Well worth doing. They are good guns.I have one just like it.

I took off two of my cva locks. Hawg you are likely right about the tip being broken. The sear on both of mine are longer and squared off to better fit the notch. You can find CVA locks on ebay (more of them than anything else) Deer Creek has them also for $65. Any CVA rifle without set triggers...

the CVA locks come with the screw already in place. Just start turning it in to reduce trigger pull.

Maybe you are not but Onty is. Any bullet fired from my revolver will exit the chambers at a .446 dia. It would need to fatten up to better fit the barrel. A hollow base would assist with that.

My new 1860 has a .446 chamber and .450 barrel. Also if the bullet didn't have a rebated base and fairly long one ,I could not load it with the opening of the loading port. The hollow base would work nicely for this. Back in the day many revolvers had hollow base slugs.
