Okay, how?
Or who?

Marshal, Mike Harvey gave me that little display stand.  I've gotten a lot of use from it taking pics!  I think they used to use some at Texas Jacks, maybe still do.  It has the Cimarron rider and logo lasered into the top.  But anything longer than 5 1/2" won't fit, hence the hockey puck.  I have a collection of pucks from working in ice rinks as a video camera man for figure skating competitions.  The hockey guys couldn't get in the rink for the whole weekend so they were chomping at the bit to get in there immediately afterward.  While I'm packing equipment I think some of them would try to aim at my head (on the other side of the glass) with their slap shots.  If they did and any pucks went over the glass...my puck now. 
I know hockey is fun to watch but we had to use their locker rooms to store our stuff, and they have a superstition that requires them to not wash their clothes during the season.  Whew!

I haven't been to this new range yet, what's the address to it? Anyplace to pitch a tent?

Those pics do look good with this type of gun.

I had to look up what one of those looks like.  Don't think you can adapt any other pistol spring that I know of!  Mike may be right, and I'll bet he's a guy who could do it for you (I say that not knowing if you have the necessary skill set yourself - I know I don't).

Most, if not all of Jay's conversions were built using Uberti guns as the donor.  I would presume Jay also fix'd the abhorrent Barrel to Arbor fit in the conversion process??  Abilene, you look at that??

MARSHALL WINGAM - Ah, Smooth Bore??  Really, Smooth Bore??  Ah not really.  Uberti Cap Guns are manufactured with a nominal .375 bore.  As an aside, or in addition:  With all of the .36 Cap Guns I have, have owned, have built, or shot (all of 'em), I used 148Gr Hollow Base Wadcutters.  My results, accuracy wise, mirror Abilene's results.  I got what I considered really great accuracy.  Never even tempted to have the barrels re-lined.  Just shooting HBWC is just too easy.

Oh yeah!  Glad you reminded me, I meant to tell you that no, the arbor length was not addressed. I discovered that earlier on and use the split washer down the arbor hole trick. When he built this 25 years ago I don't think people talked about short arbors much.

I'm assuming you shoot APP with those HBWC's?  How long do you have to load them to get enough powder in there?

Thanks, Marshall Will.  I love having the old family photos, which meant so much more back then.  On the wall above the marriage photo is their large framed fancy marriage certificate.  My grandma died at 101, and my mom at 99.  My grandad on my mom's side died in his 50's and so did my dad.  I wonder whose genes I've got (well, I do look like my dad, but I've far outlived him!).  Anyways, the old pics make a nice background for these types of guns. 

PLEASE, don't tell to try ebay, numerich, dixie gun works, VTI or so on
I've checked them all... they don't have them.

Also have tried all of the European parts suppliers, they are out too.
I'd be interested in a couple if possible, if someone is making them.  I have 2 guns, one has a broken mainspring the other feels like it is off a model A, very heavy but I am fearful to lighten it without a spare.

Thanks
