The Darksider's Den / Re: Ballistol?
« Last post by Froogal on Today at 12:50:05 PM »
Just to clarify, I have been using ballistol to clean my guns after shooting smokeless powder, and it works great. Just squirt a generous amount down the bore, wait a few seconds, make 2 passes with a bore snake, and the bore is nice and shiny. I've done the same after shooting black powder, but I flush out the bore with hot water before using the snake. Again, the bore always comes out nice and shiny, but I've never tried the ballistol just by itself without flushing with water. Hot water is not particularly available at the shooting range.

The Darksider's Den / Re: How did we get these "Calibers"?

Abilene,
Are the images still not showing?  If so what are you viewing them on, a phone?  If you can't see them let me know the way they have you copy the link changed on me.

I think my world is level again...the last time we were talking about this was probably 12 or 13 years ago.  You have confirmed what I believed then.  All large caliber R-M and Richards II revolver and frames are larger.  AND the Richards Type II no matter what the caliber are oversized.  Only the R-M .38s (Navy model conversions) are the same size as the Percussion frames and cylinders.  I am speaking in generalities, there are differences but not like the Uberti Richards Type IIs and the large caliber Uberti Richards-Masons conversions.

These are the dimensions from several of mine. Note there is a difference on several of my Navy model Percussion cylinders:


Thank you for all of your help and putting up with me.

This is very strange.  Three people had their first post on this topic.  I'm thinking at least the last two are AI bots and will report them as such, and let the moderators figure it out.

 If either cloakedoink or celemtine are real people, I invite them to come back on and prove me wrong.

I had a ball, even if my back was not cooperating all the time. Big thanks to Books, Mogorilla, and all the KVC folks who put on a sometimes crazy match for us. There were 5 states represented there. I liked the comment Books made after the stage where we had to shoot under a wagon, prone, at increasingly distant targets: ”The knucklehead that wrote this stage won’t do that again!”

Thanks again, KVC

Been using it for years and it is BP compatible.

For some applications there are much better options.

Straight Ballistol doesn't work well removing hard BP fouling. You need to mix it with water. AKA Moose Milk (1 or 2 parts Ballistol to 9 or 8 parts water)

For cleaning hard BP deposits I find PAM works better than Ballistol and Dawn Power Wash works better still.

USFA CSS / Re: Rodeo II deal?

I could be mistaken, but a pair of Rodeo II's in that caliber would be rare.  I've never seen them in that caliber before.

When my H&R did the same thing, it wasn't that the cam had turned on the shaft, but that the weld on the thumb piece had broken and the thumb piece had turned on the shaft which didn't allow the shaft to turn far enough to fully engage the cam.  You might check that ???
