Didja know, you can fire form 44-40 brass to 45 Colt and eliminate Blow-By in the 45?? Sacrilege, I know, but it sure works a treat.

Up in this neck of the woods, we only set and shoot 5 shotgun targets. Don't have to knock 'em down, just hit 'em. Josey Wales is just gobs of fun shot with FIVE CAP GUNS!! Try it. Yule like it!!

Matthew, Since you're going to have it apart, I'd like to suggest you spring for Roller Bearing for the Indexer Cam and the Hit Factor upgrade kit. The Hit Factor kit makes a HUGE difference and improvement in the smoothness of the XL650. Give it a serious look.

YEPPER!! PLUS ONE for the Subdeacon!! Global Climate Change is going to continue regardless of what we do. If ALL the activists weren't completely full of krap, they would just be piles of empty clothing.

Gotta LOVE Big Blue you betcha!!

Global Climate Change is FACT. Get use to it.

PLUS ONE for Widder Terminology, each unfired round is counted as a "miss." Equals three misses.

OK. the "Cylinder Throat" is at the front of the Chamber. Looking in the breach end of the cylinder chambers, you will observe a distinct "step." that step is the beginning of the "throat." The throat should be at least .4515 or .452 for a nominal .451 groove (industry standard) diameter. You should be able to drop a .451 bullet in the breach end of the chamber and have it just hesitate at the Throat and only require a very light nudge from a pencil to drop thru.

Ah So Deska. Bigger Ball Peen??

I'm asking just to be sure. Are you saying the .451 XTP stops hard at the "Cylinder Throat" of the Vaquero?? Or stops hard in the Rifle Barrel?? I would expect a hard stop at the Cylinder Throat as Ruger are famous or infamous for way undersize cylinder throats and most need reming. I should not be surprised at throat diameter of .448 or .449. I should expect the bore diameter (Grooves) in the rifle to be .451 or .452. I am no help on the rifle forcing cone. Both the pistol and Rifle should digest .451 Bullets equally well.

Good Job. Good to Know. I was just gonna suggest a small punch anna Ball Peen. Whackada Whackada

Long Long time in the Military. Use'd issued CLP as THE cleaner the whole time I served. An excellent cleaner for Smokeless Powder guns. Not necessarily a good lubricant. Not at all useful for Black Powder and Subs. For lube, I have become a fanatical champion for Mobile 1 grease, not slathered, and Mobil 1 motor oil. Plays really really well with Black Power and Subs and Smokeless. I also prefer an Oily rag for wipe down.

Sorry for the miss-understanding. I wasn't commenting on the content of the video. I was commenting on the initial post which went full Political all encompassing condemnation. Get over it.

PRACTICE?? Unfamiliar word. I'll have to look it up later. I think I've heard it before though. Still need to look it up. "Dry Fire" I know about. Wears out yer gunz. I don't wanna do dat. 'Sides, I'm getting well too old fer dat sorta stuff.

Actually, I haven't witnessed it personally. However, one of our more prolific contributors (H.K. Uriah) claims to have been using smokeless in his Magtech 12Ga brass hulls for years. I do know, MagTech DOES NOT recommend Smokeless in their brass hulls.

Many Lustrum ago, I possessed a Stainless Navy Arms (By Rossi) 1892 Short Rifle, Octagonal Barrel. Like an Idiot, one day I let it go (for a '73). I haven't seen one like it since (Boo Hoo Boo Hoo). Kick myself every day for letting it go.

I waz gonna say "Take Hi Gun" and put him onna really small desk back inna corner. But he resigned. Good riddance. The other officer who opened fire, with no clue what he/she was firing at also needs to go to the same small desk inna corner. STUPID. Some lucky neither one of them managed to hit anything other than maybe the vehicle.

Gee, perhaps as described by a Right Wing, Ultraconservative, ignoramus, who doesn't understand the Republican Party no longer exists??

PLUS ONE for Charley Harley. Most of the comments in this thread are just as idiotic as the TV talking heads. Give it a rest until the facts "as known" are released.

Couple of easy strokes of a file and some 220 grit Wet/Dry to smooth up should solve the problem easily. There are NO after-market firing pins available I am aware of. Only genuine Uberti parts. You might also try reducing the Main Spring. The OEM Main Spring is way too heavy.

Second Generation Colt Percussion guns are Uberti. You might want to contact Allan Harton in Texas or Lassiter. I don't have their contact information handy.

Horsefeathers. If your shooting Black Powder without a goodly amount of compatible lube your in trouble. If anyone claims they shoot with Black Powder and Moly Coated bullets with NO problems they be shining you on, unless they also include a gob of proper BP lube which they ain't mentioning. Oh, and: PLUS ONE for Garrison Joe. Pay attention folks.

Oh my gosh. When you've been shooting the same PILE of cases for 20 - 30 years, keeping track of how many time a case has been fired is Oxymoron!! Not to be SNARKY you understand

Buckshot, Got It!! Case Feed Cam!! Yours is KAPUT!! Completely undeniably KAPUT!! Have Messers DILLON send ya a new one.

YES!! Molycoat by itself does nothing except to contribute to fouling. It is NOT an acceptable BP lubricant. One must still have an appreciable amount of BP compatible lube or yule play hell scrubbing out the bore. NOT recommended.
