Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 3,354 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm itching to post some pics of my new Navy pistols, and wouldn't ya know it....can't make it work. (All fixed - scroll down to # 15 - thank you, Hardpan!!) I followed the direction from the prior posts re the IMG link on Photobucket; the IMG box even says "Copied" when I click on it. But when I go to my draft post and right click, and then hit "paste" in the drop down, NOTHING. Am I doing something wrong? Working in Windows 8 if that makes any difference. Gracias.

Cliff Hanger #3720LR 727 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 paste your picture here = your image url I know nothing about photobucket. It seems they have buttons to click on to do things. Then I see people complain that they don't work. I just use the url and paste it in between the display img code I type in.

LL I use an 8" piece of household 1/2" copper pipe on my 1860 Army Sheriffs. Provides plenty of leverage without scratching anything. Doesn't really need to be that long, just makes it easy to grip.

OK, now I get it. Leverage. If you had 8 inch barrels, like my 1858 Remmy, well, you would not need gas lines. It generates enough sulphur gas on it's own. Link to post Share on other sites
J-BAR #18287 6,344 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I use a 6" piece of period correct PVC pipe, about 5/8" diameter, from Home Depot as a rammer lever cheater on my short barrel guns. I cleverly disguised it by wrapping leather around it (don't tell anyone!) I figured the PVC would be less likely to ding the revolver if i got careless with it. Link to post Share on other sites
