What about the rebound slide under the hammer toe?

Had 6 in my S&W 1905 3rd change. Dropped it and it fired.

Yes, it is.

I'm gonna get an 1851 Navy. Uberti or Pietta? Any opinions?

Thanks so much. Your experience was exactly what I was looking for. Very accurate report.

Not something I intend to do. Just curious.

Yeah but, your sense of humor makes up for it.

I had been away from this forum for a while. I recently had a couple of questions, so I posted them. I got a lot of responses from smart, and experienced, and helpful people. It made me feel good. If you're new to firearms (or not), try this place out - You won't be dissapointed.

OK. Here's the deal. The Walker loading lever latch is a flawed design. Spindelly little thing, prone to failure. I mean, look at this massive revolver with that little twig sticking out there. It's a joke. If you modify it to a Dragoon style, then you don't have a Walker any more. I've...

I got a pretty stiff beeswax olive oil mix under the ball with 10 gr cream of wheat over the powder.. My main concern is rust. I have the impression that BP is only corrosive after it's been fired?

Cap & Ball.

Should I have any issues with loading a cylinder and leaving it loaded for a few weeks, maybe even a month or two?

The lard and Crisco and beeswax aren't lubricants. They bind with black powder residue and help keep it from fouling the works.

You're still the best photographer I know.

It's a pleasure to hear from you again. ( You responded to a post I made about a dropped revolver. Black Powder's a ways off from S&W. If it's ok, I'd like to ask about a Colt replica.) I've been using Crisco but it's kinda messy, so I think I'll try the beeswax mix. Take care.

I've read that from geojohn. Much testing and no chainfire even with no caps. Think about it, theres not much fire at the back of the cylinder. Big fire in the front.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain that.
