Manyirons, I read your post at least four times before I figured out what you were saying.
It was because I just couldn't wrap my brain around the awful thing you were writing.
You are saying that BigIrons makes a Walker-sized revolver that's in .58 caliber?????????
I've got a repro of an 1853 Enfield rifled musket in .58.
And you guys make a freakin' revolver in .58?
You must post pictures of this beast.
And I'm afraid to ask how much one would run me, but I gotta know.

Hi Thom- I would like to see some pictures of these monsters myself.
Might be inspired to start saving my pennies. I would also like to see a picture of .50 conversion on a Ruger. Say Hi to the Boss!

So I ain't kiddin' when I call myself a hillbilly.
In fact, I live in the Ozarks right now, a mile and half down a dirt road. Used to be three miles, but a county judge needed some more votes, so he paved half of it.

Last couple of years I've spent some times in the Ozarks north of Clarksville. saw a lot of people that said they was hillbillies but nobody who looked like that de-generate banjo player in Deliverance. In fact, the only thing I've ever seen that looked like him was Spuds McKinsey and that varmint that hung around with George Patton.
We had a gathering in a holler /private shooting range backed up on the National Forrest. shot everything from flintlock muskets to thompsons to a .50 BMG rifle. Also had some Tanerite explosive targets that won the loud contest. About half way through the High Sheriff sent out a couple of deputies who advised that some liberals had moved in on top of the hill and were claiming bullets raining down. They looked at the set up and seeing that the bullets would have had to describe a m0rtar-like trajectory over the top of the holler as well as making some magic bullet-like acute turns to hit the leftist domicile, determined that the liberals were speaking with forked tongues. They said they hang around the left wing premises just to make sure but there was not really any problem.

I know this is off topic, but... I spent some time 4 wheeling the backroads in Arkansas some years back. Some of the nicest people I've ever met to this day were the "hillbillies" who lived back there. They certainly weren't the dumb bumpkins that the stereotype tries to make us believe. They were an intelligent, friendly bunch who invited me in on numerous occasions.
If I could figure out how to make a living there, I'd move there in a heartbeat. My brother did!

But if you stripped the blueing, did you add any finish on the frame? What protects it from rusting?

Exactly, polished the metal nicely and keep everything clean and lubricated. I use a mixture of (mostly) lard and a little beeswax...doesn't evaporate. I'm picky about keeping my guns clean anyway.
