Lucky R. K.

I think Ace has the answer. I have the same problem with my '66. Yesterday I had to re-cock the hammer on two different stages because I pulled the trigger too soon. Lucky

It is probably an inexpensive "Hardware Store" gun imported from Belgium during that period of time. Some were marked with makers marks similar to well known makers like Wesley Richards (W. Richards) . They had fluid steel barrels instead of the English twisted steel barrels. Usually a solid gun. Lucky

It is really refreshing to see such a talented young person do well in our sport. Love her smile and personality. I am sure Granddad popped all of his vest buttons. Lucky

I think you could use it but shots from that gun would not be counted.

Sure wish I was going! grin.bmp

Hey Joe, you can reach Tony Isbel AKA Jim Powder at 423-367-3298. I do not know the other gentleman. Lucky

I bought a pair of the 5-1/2" brass framed models the last time they were on sale at Cabelas. I already had a pair of the steel framed model with 7-1/2" barrels but I wanted to see how the brass frames would hold up and I wanted the shorter barrels. The only modifications I have made to date is to install Tresso nipples and a plug on the hammer faces to make them smooth. I have used them in two matches so far and have had NO problems at all either mechanically, with ignition or cap jams. I plan to make them my main match pistols and see how they hold up. Lucky

Judge, the best way is to buy a mould and make your own. That way you can have exactly what you want. I would recommend bullets over round balls. Get bullets with a big lube groove and use a good black powder lube. You will be able to shoot all day without worrying about fouling. Hope you are doing good. Lucky

Here is a loader I built a few years ago. It and the loading box really speeds up the loading process and allows us time to help out with other posse chores.

The pouches on my shotgun belts hold two rounds with a small space between pouches. When I don't do a fumble fingers it works great. Lucky
