A 1849 is always nice to have around, I just bought one to tinker on.

My


It's on order and should be here on Saturday. But I am having a hard time finding .311 balls for it. I can find .315 but I would prefer .311s. Any suggestions where I can find round balls in that size?

TOW sells .323 for this. That's what they recommended for me IIR correctly

I'm hoping Santa has an extra one laying around looking for a home!

I like them.

I bought some Hornady 0.315 balls, but I haven't had an opportunity to get to the range yet. Maybe tomorrow.

From those golden days of yesteryear...

1970's. Shot these in my first one, along with buck shot.

That same revolver revised to .36 caliber to make the 1862 pocket model, any yall worked with one?
I'd think it would be pretty good for rabbit hunts.

I was at a small local gun show about a year ago and spotted this really ugly piece of metal and wood way back on the back edge of a guy's table. He took $80 for it and was very happy to get rid of it. It's a Dixie kit that someone had thrown together without doing anything to it. It's my on-again/off-again project.

Well, I really messed up posting the pictures. I need to go back and review how to do thumbnails.
