Authenticity question...kinda odd one too
Cuts Crooked:
Howdy pards,
This one might strike ya as an odd question but what the heck! ;)
I've been thinking about acquiring one of those cylinder loading tools for my New Model Army C&Bs, in order to load with the cylinders out of the guns. This will save wear & tear on the OEM loading levers and probably be easier for me to use than the rammer on the guns too.
My thinking is that I could use this at one of the loading tables, at an empty stage, and thereby not have to deal with having the revolvers out and going through all the things neccessary to be loading a C&B wich might/could end up with the barrel pointed in the wrong direction at the wrong moment! :o
My question: Do you think this tool would be accepted at NCOWS matches? Or would it be too big a step beyond the Authenticity rules?
Will Ketchum:
Cuts, I'm not sure just which tool you are referring to. Do they sell them at Dixie?
Regardless I don't think they would be a problem. Afterall the Baby Paterson was loaded with such a tool ;)

WILL!?!?!
Waddaya doin HERE? You should be getting ready fer The Traders Jubilee!!!!
The tool I'm thinking of is the one sold by October Country, Essentially jist a metal plate with a lever attached and a rammer hinged to the lever. Here: http://www.oct-country.com/shopcart/display-image.php?file=503_17-00112.jpg&aspect=1&height=250&width=250

Paper Chaser:
I certainly hope the loading 'tool' won't be a problem as I'm considering buying one. Sure will make it easier to load!!
Irish Dave:
I'm sure they would be OK at our posse (Great Lakes F&MC) as we also have a special area set aside for C&B shooters to work on their revolvers and pre-load their cylinders.
(If I'm wrong, I'm sure Dutch will corrcet me.) ;)
