    DIY caps

    Takes me about a minute per cap to trim them with scissors. So, a little over 8 hours to free up all 500. Edges are still pretty ragged. Gotta be a better way.

    DIY caps

    You mention that they are easy to remove from the backing plate once primed. What is the procedure for doing so?

    FOR SALE Centaure Belgian Made 1860 Army Revolver $450

    "Go to the FROCS website and it will give you a detailed rundown on the history of the Centaures" Yeah, I'm familiar with the Frocs website. The Centaures are well made pistols and quite attractive in appearace, though I do wish they were more faithful replicas of the Colts dimensionally. I...

    Arbor Problem?

    Yes, my intention with the extra percussion cylinder was to use it as a test piece for fit and mechanical operation with the thought that it would probably rupture if fired. I will probably rupture it on purpose by deliberate overload both to see what it will take and to keep anyone else from...

    Arbor Problem?

    Why not do what I want to do ? :) For one thing, a .357 Ruger SSA is much larger and does not in the least resemble an 1862 Colt Police. For another, as you know, rupturing a modified replacement cylinder does no damage to the original Uberti. Also, it is both possible and feasible to modify...

    Arbor Problem?

    I've been thinking about converting a Uberti 1862 Police to .380acp, but would have to do an 0.008" thick chrome electroplate on the interior of the barrel and front of the chambers to reduce the diameter (round headspaces on the case mouth) and would most likely need to scratchbuild a cylinder...

    Arbor Problem?

    "The arbor is in tension, not shear". The arbor itself is in tension - BUT the load between the wedge and the end of the arbor slot is carried as a shear load at the front end of the arbor. Think back to your Strengths of Materials courses. Because of that, as long as the proposed arbor screw...
