Taylor's .31 Remington Pocket Revolver

[rodwha]

I like your musings Pulp! My thoughts as well.

Yeah, pretty much. More is better, but better to have a small one than none at all. Same with cameras - I own a bunch of big SLRs but some of my best kid shots were taken with my phone because I always carry it and the optics etc. are "good enough" for 80% of the shots.

Unlike a human, bears don't watch television and don't know that when they've been shot they're supposed to fall down dead. They probably don't even know they've been shot at all. They just keep coming until their brain dies from lack of oxygen. There are a few humans who exhibit a similar characteristic. Not many, but it only takes one, and you can't tell which ones they are by looking at them.

Thanks to you guys when I went to a fairly LGS I saw on top of the BP revolver cabinet a worn looking 1862 Police I presumed was original. It was NOT but was an older Uberti copy that had been used some and I walked away with it, a box of Hornady .36 balls and two tins of #11 caps for $125+ tax. The Uberti had been in the store 3 years, it was brought in for the gunsmith to repair, which he did, smoothing things up along the way, and never picked up! Sold as a Mechanics Lien! I like it it looks like the real deal , 5 decent sized holes on that tiny 1949 frame.

Here are a few of my Cap and Ball Revolvers

From left to right

The Revolvers in the pics are my
1) Ubert 1849 Pocket .31 (my very first Uberti i polished Down)
2) Pietta New Army 1858 in Brass Frame Polished to silver recently
3) NAA Super Companion Cap and Ball .22
4) Pietta 1858 Buffalo Stainless Steel Converted to Kirst Cartridge using a Dremel file and Mothers Polish.

By the way the one inside the Holster is nothing more then a Beretta 92FS Air Pistol,and i collect tons of Air guns and Rifles as well.

i need to lightly sand some minor scratches on the
Buffalo and Polish it more

Next id like to get the Colt Walker,Pocket Remington, and the Police with a 3 inch Barrel
i have been hearing about that is suppose to be an over all length of 8.5

It what Taylors told me Last night anyways and its not listed on the Site

Loading Lever

On My 1863 Pocket Remington Revolver ,
i been hearing Horror Stories of Breakage and Weak Lever.

Since i do not have a Ball Rammer i was wondering is it possible,
the Tool that comes with the NAA Super Companion .22 Cap and Ball Magnum, to seat the Bullets would work to seat these .31 Balls?

It was just a thought i have not Tried,has anyone ever done this?

Thanks

Rodha, just fill in the notch on the front side of the Colt's hammer with JB Weld, works like a champ and no cap jamming problems. The 62 Police is sleek and it is the perfect frame size for the 36 caliber ball it shoots.

That would be funny if Clint Eastwood had to Use a folding Knife in between shots for a jammed Cap lol.


Hm

So you do not have any more jams after that?
i thought heard some people say that did not help completely.

Some people as they are Cocking ,do that Flick of the wrist up ad right.

That they still had to do other Modifications like changing the nipples.

Because if what your saying works at least 85% of the time i would like to try that.

It is rare i ever get to shoot mine but i did a few days ago with my Little Remington.

But not on my Pocket Police yet.although i did Shoot some caps and, did not have any jams at this time.

But may want to try that JB weld trick if it helped you alot.

Slix shot nipples

i found a valid link to the SLIX SHOT NIPPLES # 10

http://longhunt.com/storelh/index.php?route=product/product&path=88_97&product_id=267

$36.00 i think is worth it for that extra Shot so you can have all 5

i may get one for my 1862 Police and the other for my 1848 Pocket.

i hope this helps anyone in their Search for these.

duelist1954 Proves these work out very well

Busyhands94 was working on a devise of this type. I am not sure if he has finished the design. Try looking up his thread on it.

 

[WhispersGhost]

Improved design

Maybe the Improved the design as i do not have any lever breakage so far.

 

[WhispersGhost]

Can You tell me if this Slix-Shot Black Powder Nipples
Solves the Problem with Cap James on the Colt 1862 Police

or do i still need to fill in the Notch of the Hammer

Thank You
