Black Powder Revolver Picture Thread (of All Time)

[YumaKid]

Well, I've seen a few of these pics before; so I think I'll recycle my favorite of my two from the Remington owners thread. (It's not perfect, but it's d*mn good for my limited capabilities)



Yes, only two. I have three kids of my own, seem to have "adopted" another (and her 3 children); three horses, one house payment, one truck payment, a '73 Mercury Cougar "under re-construction", 4H and FFA commitments, financial and otherwise......... It's a wonder I have the TWO!
Someday, Imagonna "run away" -and take my checkbook- for a few months to save up for a couple of R&D/Howell's conversion cylinders in .45Colt.
THEN I'll have to run away again to save up for the cartridge loader.

And I still need to order a good holster for not too many simoleans (the curse of left-handedness) for the 'little brother' so it can stop hiding in the Safariland 6" N-Frame Duty Holster for my 629! And many thanks to the guys who pointed out that Rem 1875's and Colt 1873's are close enough in size that I should be able to fit a short NMA in a holster built for either of the others.

ak-kev: Is that Remington nickle or SERIOUSLY polished stainless? My wife's S&W .357 is bright nickle (only thing I dislike about it); and 'making it beautiful' after a day at the range can sure take some time.

Here are my current ROAs. A pair of 5.5"s and a 7.5" with R&D conversion cylinder.

Sorry about the blurry closeup. Hope this is a better one of the Navy.

KWHI,
I'm guessing the top photo is a Euroarms Remington?

Not a great pic, but the target was 6 shots off hand at 10 yard with 30 gr of FFFG Goex.

My one and only cap & ball. It's out getting a few upgrades right now. Will post more pics when it comes back.

It's out getting a few upgrades right now. Will post more pics when it comes back.

And please provide the list of updates, too! Nice shooting!

 

[junkman_01]

Good shootin' savit260.

 

[savit260]

The upgrades are a lowered hammer, taller front sight, action job, lettering on barrel removed and a 45 Colt conversion cylinder, done by THR's own HoofHearted.

At some point in the future, it'll get new grips as well.

Poke. I want to see some Christmas presents on this thread!

Here's my 1858 Remington in .44 caliber.


And my .22 North American Arms cap and ball revolvers:


I made a converter for my NAA super companion today, it converts my NAA cap and ball to a single shot .22 pistol! I shot .22 blackpowder shorts I made for it today, it works perfectly! the device is held in place by the flat spot on top and the slot the cylinder pin goes through on the bottom. It's still rough and needs to be polished and blued, but I like it!



The rim of the .22 is countersunk, and a firing pin is put on top of it. That firing pin transfers the energy from the flat firing pin to the rim of the cartridge. That goes in on top of the cartridge.

 

[Busyhands94]

And yes, I'm sorry that the pictures are so blurry. I got this camera from a garage sale for cheap, what do you expect?

 

[Lunie]

Cool stuff Levi, not everyone is adventurous or skilled enough for a DIY project like that.

Kudos.

 

[Busyhands94]

Thank you! I am actually planning to make one for my 1858 Remington, although I am going to need a spare cylinder to line for that. I know right now it's not too good looking but it does work and it does set off rimfire cartridges and doesn't explode with the intended ammo. I haven't shot it with smokeless .22s and don't plan to ever do that until I know it's safe and proof it. I'll just rig up a vice, bullet trap, and string in the shop so I don't have to risk it. Besides, those blackpowder .22s are so fun! What I need to do is get a Henry or some lever action .22 to shoot these things in. Good stuff right there!

I have a few Colts. Those in the group shot are all Colts except for the Patterson which is a Replica Arms model in .36. The Musket is an original Colt model 1861 special contract made in 1862.



Engraved Armi San Marco .44 Navy I got recently.
