Skinny 1950

expat alaska...to answer your question about the old 1860,yes I do shoot it but use the cylinder from the unknown gun because the modern caps #11's are too small. The cylinder fits the old timer very well but when I first got it someone had installed the wrong nipples and they were too small. I only found this out when one of the nipples blew out when I shot it. Good way to lose an eye. I had some spare nipples which fit properly but only had 5 of them so to this day there is one chamber which remains nippleless, this is now my safety chamber.
Here is a picture of the rear of the cylinder from the 1863 original gun, looks like there are a lot of miles on this one.
