In action
Oh yeah. They are long gone. I shoot a lot. I try to go once a weekReally really nice! Btw have you shot all of the .36 cal conical bullets i had sent you?
I just found this place. It’s called Route 66 shooting sports. It’s up the 15 Fwy from you just past Devore. I’m told they have a cowboy action shooting club that goes thereNice shootin Russell13.
Your range looks nice. Where do you shoot at? I'm having a helluva time finding somewhere to shoot at regularly.
Many, many times. It works...most of the time. And when it doesn't, it can totally screw up a day's shooting, especially when paying high range fees. I disassembled a Remmy once to clear a frag jam. Once. And I'll never try it in the field again. Too many tiny pieces.Has anyone ever tried flipping the pistol up, and back, while cocking it....which throws the spent caps over one's shoulder? I heard that's how the old timers, back in the day, dealt with cap-jams. Works for me. Anyone know what I mean?
No. If your caps fit the nipples and they’re Remington caps they don’t fragment. They either fall out of the channel and exit stage right as the revolver was designed to do or they stay put on the cone until you’re ready to reload. Whereupon you flick them off with your booger hook.Has anyone ever tried flipping the pistol up, and back, while cocking it....which throws the spent caps over one's shoulder?

Got my Walker with C&B/Conversion cylinder back from the Goon this week. Haven't had an opportunity to get any good pictures yet, but I'll share some that Goon took right before shipping it...

Actually, I bought the (used) Howell conversion cylinder off a private individual while Goon had the gun, and had the seller ship it direct to Goon's Gun Works. Since I knew the C&B cylinder on my Walker was already too short (I had to remove material from the barrel/frame lug to get rid of the monstrous chasm of a barrel gap) I knew the cylinder would likely not be a drop-in anyway. Mike made adjustments to the ratchet teeth so this would be a drop-in fit, otherwise I doubt if it would have even worked. I don't believe Howell's (or Taylor's, for that matter) makes a "drop-in" conversion for the ASM Walkers...only Ubertis of recent manufacture...so it worked out very well, timing-wise.Wow, just noticed this! So, you bought the conversion cylinder from C&B and the Goon installed it for you ? Please detail more about the conversion cylinder, are they pricey ? Do they all need fitting to your gun to work ?
That's one sexy brace of pistolas, PowderMark!Looks better, maybe Elk antler would be better still View attachment 952679
I asked Hamilton Bowen if he would build a .50 caliber Old Army and he politely declined but suggested I speak with Rob Lewis. He recommended him heartily. That’s high praise if you know Bowens work...When RJSixgun was asked to recommend a C&B gunsmith who can tune up and accurize a Pietta 1858 Remington he replied:
"A guy named Rob Lewis in Ohio 513-897-2852 he has a booth at the N-SSA nationals. He did my last 2 revolvers."
