    Metal Goex cans

    i made one for the schutzen cap last week using .357 mag case - drilled the primer hole large - I used a rimmed case so the rim holds the case on the inside of the cap & used a little epoxy on the outside - if I had cut the hole a little better wouldnt need the epoxy as friction alone would work...

    How soon to clean fired gun?

    I see you live in Louisiana - Ideally clean it the same day. If you have AC running at home next day probably ok. As mentioned, if you cant that same day at least get out most of the fouling, lube it, then finish in the morning wouldnt be too bad

    44 Comparison

    Help identify this pistol please?

    Looks Italian made in 1977 if I read that correctly - not sure on the maker - there is an article in the articles & links section of the forums that explains it pretty good. I cant see the makers logo well enough to tell more - the date code looks like AC if I read that right

    Walker/Dragoon 1 2 3

    the walker can hold about 60gr - the dragoons hold 50gr. I personally prefer the dragoon as it is a little handier - still a large heavy pistol though - and it has a positive latch on the loading lever

    seating cutlery pins

    thanks - I read elsewhere a vise is what works best so will try that - I did countersink the holes. I also understand these are a later style and for the first few attempts that doesnt matter as much to me
