Shooting the Remington Bulldog snubby

[duelist1954]

This Winter I built a little fantasy gun I called the Remington Bulldog. This is a snub nosed version of the big, Remington New Model Army, .44 caliber, cap and ball revolver. This video shows the newly built snubby at the range.

Very nice, Mike. I like the snubbie and your new shooting spot. So will this be your new permanent demonstration range?

I am hoping to set up a small private bp range on some hill country land of a friend of a friend near the spot where Capt. Jack Hays and his band of Rangers from San Antonio de Bexar first engaged the Comanche with their Patersons back in the day along the old Pinta Trail near Fredricksburg.

Hi Mike!

Big fan of your work! Saw the one ya built awhile back with the conversion cylinder and loved it as well.

One question... Why the set screw on this one? I'm hoping to build one of these myself one day, but I was thinking about getting the quick release pin holder from Howell... http://www.oldsouthfirearms.com/1858...ckrelease.aspx (not sure if that link is ok? If not, MOD's please remove). Not that I figure on getting into any serious engagements with such a piece LOL, but it does seem a good idea to be able to carry extra cylinders and swap them.

That turned out nice.

Thanks for sharing.

Mike,

have you thought about using a Vlier pin instead of a set screw to hold the base pin in?

it would hold it securely in place, but allow for removal without needing a tool.

I'd love to see some chronograph results comparing Goex and Triple 7, as well as test to see if there is a point at which it blows the powder charge out.

Would have interesting to have done prior chronograph tests to see how much the shorter barrel lost too.

Really love that front sight too! Wish I was confident enough to hack on mine as I've thought a 3.5-4" barrel would be more ideal, and I like the rounded butt. I'd want the loading lever to use with a cheater bar though to make it easier to load in the field.

Working good in Chrome now. Thanks.

That just looks like so darn much fun. Sadly I can't duplicate such a project up here due to handgun barrel length laws. So I have to stay content to live through options like your videos. So thanks for doing such a nice job of them and letting folks like me have a peek into what such a gun is like to shoot.

Congrats too on getting your own Den. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all shapes up over the next while.

The cool thing is that it offers the possibility of fixed camera mounts and big foot "X's" so you know you're framed just right for all your standard shots. Or if not fixed mounts then at least paver bricks set in the ground at key places so you know where to set the tripod for various shots.

Just keep the towers for the big stadium floods well to the outside so we don't end up with them in camera.....
