    Buggerin' black powder

    I have the Walker and use a small rubber mallet to knock out the wedge. Never leaves a mark. As far as the screws go.....I always use a small ammount of quality gun oil on the threads before replacing them.......always come out with very little effort. As far a lubing and oiling I just use a...

    My first BP hardware!

    Recomend a revolver?

    Really boils down to the type of shooting you do. I have always liked the larger calibre handguns, I carry a 45 on duty, so my first BP revolver was the Walker. Sense that time I have shot a variety of the other colts and my fathers Remington new army many times. Hands down my favorite is still...
