    Have you had a chain fire with?

    I was using grease and that did not stop the chain fires. Once it started chain firing every shot I stopped shooting it. I thought it was the head space problem causing it so I would try and file the frame back to where it did not have a problem then i would load two rounds and if they chain...

    Have you had a chain fire with?

    My gun is little unusual. I bought it a a pawn shop for $30 and it was not in perfect condition. The bolt spring was broke and the previous owner continued to shoot it. in doing so the hammer hit the space in between the cylinders causing the soft metal to expand. The cylinder would barely...

    Cap lock ignition issues

    I recently purchased a used .45 cva hawken style rifle and it is not igniting the cap on the first hit. It smooches a little and then it fires next hit. I am sure the cap is down on the nipple properly. The hammer to nipple angle looks a little off an i don't know if I should buy a different...
