    Ballistol fumes?

    I like the smell of Ballistol and Hoppes #9. Although I prefer Ballistol, it makes a great aftershave for night out on the town.

    Ballistol fumes?

    I love the smell of Ballistol in the morning. It smells like victory.

    Okay, is it the threading on the cylinder pin (arbor) itself, or the threading in the frame, or the locking pin that fails?

    Walkers wild

    Forgive my ignorance, but what's the base pin? Are you talking about the cylinder locking pin, or the cylinder pin itself failing. Here's a link to a parts diagram, perhaps you could help me understand the point of failure that you're referencing, by telling me the part number...

    You mentioned ASM, I assume you're talking about Armi San Marco? I thought they went out of business years ago? This is something I found on another forum. Armi San Marco is still making guns and they are known for making guns with bad workmanship. They make the guns for different companies...

    Walkers wild

    I can only speak for my experience. But the Uberti Walker I bought was fine straight out of the box. As I wrote earlier, I had read about the short arbor problem that plagued Uberties, so I measured mine right away. It was absolutely perfect. As to tuning the action, I get the impression...

I did read an old conversation regarding the steel the...

    Sorry to hear about the dovetail on your catch spring being loose on the barrel. I hadn't read about that being an issue with Walkers. Mine is firmly attached to the barrel, I'd need a hammer to remove it. All I've read about is the dropping loading lever issue. Which as we all know, is a...

    Lead

    There's a seller on ebay selling in bulk #50 - #100. I just ordered 50# from him shipped for $60. He says the ingots are melted from an indoor shooting range lead. The past reviews he has for his product are good. The wheel weights are a good idea, but be careful, several states have mandated...

    Walkers wild

    Hello! Nice write-up. While I'm not new to modern firearms, (long time member of AR15.com, and several other websites) I'm a complete newbie when it comes to black powder shooting. Back in December I scratched a long time itch and bought a Uberti Walker, it was on sale for a nice price...
