    Traditions Crockett Initial Impressions

    Wouldn't that be an even nicer rifle in 45 or 50 caliber, the Crockett is a great looking rifle, I always wished they would make it avaliable in 50.

    1860 Army Issues

    You may also consider filing the rounded part of the hammer face, some times it slams into the frame not allowing adequate contact with the cap.

    Cap jams

    I smoothed the edges of the notch and replaced my cones with Slixshot brand, I also flick my wrist to the right and cook the hammer vigorously.

    Recommend 44 cap and ball revolver

    All I have ever owned were 44 caliber, my favorite is my 1860 army, and yes I like the longer original grip, I have shot six shooters for most of my life and the last 16 years in compition fast draw, granted in FD we shoot 45lc but then isn't a 454 ball realy a 45.

    Spit patching while wearing a mask

    Only an NFL mask has any chance of preventing the virus from getting through, any other like the cheap garbage blue mask is only psychological, we're paying out the a$$ for something that doesn't work at all, especially the home made mask made by ant Betty.

    I've had two chain fires over the last thirty years of shooting bp revolvers, and it's not all that bad, just surprising when it happens, but I agree it really wouldn't matter if you skip a chamber.
