    Cylinder overrotation

    The 1851 Navy and my Walker both do this. I'll cock the hammer and the cylinder rotates about a half click too far so that the nipples do not line up with the hammer. What causes this and how do I fix it?

    Repair/replacement parts

    In regards to the 1851 navy, I took it apart to inspect it and alas, the trigger spring was broken, I do not have a screwdriver that woul turn the trigger spring screw, and as a result it's really buggered up!

    AR's @ Wal-Mart

    I noticed recently that my local Wal-Mart began carrying AR style rifles. I've never owned one at all, but I noticed they had 4 different ones, the cheapest being made by DPMS (I believe, or something similar) for around $500. If I bought one of these for some fun shooting would I be throwing my...

    Just a note of Thanks

    Been a while since I've been on here, but I started reloading about a year ago, and it is without a doubt the best decision (gun related) I've ever made. I think I have fallen in love with the 45LC as a result and have experimented with it quite a bit. So thanks to GP100 man, madcrate...

    Walker needs some Smithing

    I hate to find myself in the "stupid question" catagory, but............Where in the @#$% do I find someone to work on my Walker? Every gunsmith I've taken it to here in NC has just looked at me and shaken his head and said "I don't know much about replicas" Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong...

    Switching Barrels

    I'd like my cartridge conversion to have that Black Powder look (loading lever). Is it possible to take the barrel from my Cap & Ball Navy and switch it with my cartridge firing navy? Or would that be dangerous in some way?

    How Did The Old Timers Carry?

    Does anyone have any historical knowledge of how men carried thier BP revolvers back in the old days. Did they keep them loaded? If so for how long? Or did they only load when they were anticipating action/hunting. Being relatively new to the BP game I was just curious.
