My father passed about a year ago, in going thru his things we came across cap and ball revolver that we did not know he had.It looks to be a Navy Arms Co. brass frame 1860 Army in 36 Cal. The barrel to cylinder gap with the hammer at full cock is .017 and I am wondering if it will be safe to shoot. Please keep in mind, I am not going to shoot thousands and thousands of shots with it, just pinking at most 4 times a year in remembrance of my father. Thank you all for your information in advance. I enjoy this forum very much!
