Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Watching an old Wyatt Earp series, this episode involves unscrupulous gun sellers selling fake Buntlines to the Indians. They all blow up. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Newt # 7365 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 They used to make lots of episodes of the old TV shows. This sounds like a "doomsday" script they used when they didn't have anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bulged a cylinder on a SAA Colt .45, I doubled charged it. I was using 5.4 grs of Clays so I think I had 10.8 grs in one! Yikes! It didn't blow up just bulged the cylinder enough that it wouldn't turn. I bought a new cylinder from Brownells and a gunsmith friend of mine fit it.

Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 It was kind of interesting in they talked about how they were poorly made and went in to some detail as why they'd blow up. Wyatt had to show the Indians what would happen if they tried to fire them by wedging the gun in some rocks and using a piece of rawhide to pull the trigger. One brave wouldn't believe him and had another fire a different one with the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
