    The THR Walker Club

    I was going to shoot my walker for the first time this weekend but I told the grandkids I would take them to the mule day parade. Mule day is a big deal down here in Tennessee.

    Just talked to the gunsmith at taylor's

    and he told me that gun prices will probably go higher real soon, don't know if he was just saying that to get me to buy another gun or if it's for real. He said he has some discounted guns for sale occasionally. Some with cracked grips or too many dings that they don't normally sale new...

    Did I ruin my Walker?

    I haven't shot my uberti walker yet but after reading this thread I set my cylinder gap to 007 thousandths and it looks like the wedge went in pretty far to achieve this measurement. On the right side where the screw is I have about 1/8 of an inch of travel left before the screw touches the end...

    The THR Walker Club

    backstrap in the white ---polished with flitz :eek: I accidentally dropped the cylinder on my backstrap and made a big scratch on it. (scratch too big to touch up) I used vinegar to deblue it, only took about fifteen minutes. After polishing it with flitz it shined up so nice I decided to leave...

    1858 remmy-safety notch or empty chamber?

    Thanks for your replies it's good to know my remmy isn't broke. I'm usually climbing trees and in very thick brush while deer hunting and my remmy is riding in an open top crossdraw and subject to getting knocked around a little. I probably need to get a good flap holster for hunting i'm sure it...

    1858 remmy-safety notch or empty chamber?

    I've noticed on my remington when i put the hammer down in the safety notch the bolt comes up and and rests on the cylinder is this normal? Wouldn't this scratch the cylinder? So instead of using the safety notch i just leave the hammer down on an empty chamber. My Pietta remington is very...

    1858 cylinder pin scratch

    Thanks for everbody's response , I feel much better about the gouge in the pin , after taking a closer look its very possible that flame cutting was the culprit. I still can't believe how accurate it is, I was shooting it better than my 357 ruger blackhawk.

    1858 cylinder pin scratch

    The hole in the cylinder seems to be normal no burrs around the entrance, could have been some hard debris caused it, any way just bothers me because its there, I don't think it will cause any problems I'll just watch it.
