BROW / Re: Revolvers with Buffalo rifles
« Last post by Dave T on Yesterday at 10:19:45 AM »
If I had bought the Sharps "Big Fifty" when it was introduced (~1872) I could have easily had it in '74 or '75 and then purchased a SAA in 45 Colt's. My original Rolling Block Sporting Rifle (45-70) was made sometime in the 1880s when SAAs were readily available. So...of the revolvers I own I would pick my 7-1/2" USFA Gunslinger (I hate that name) with the proper black powder frame. And if 45 Colt of course.  (smile)

I shoot a trapdoor rifle.   I was a part time scout/teamster for the army and “found” it as i moved on to being a buffalo hunter.   Coins saved is coin to be drank.  So, i carry a converted Remington with a couple of cap and ball cylinders when cartridges are scarce.

The Accurate Mold that 'Tom' made for me was a custom I asked for. It is now of course a catalog item. The number is....45-240E and I set the OAL to 1.585-1.590" with this bullet.
I have not got to shoot my carbine yet with this bullet but I did load 7 dummy rounds with this bullet. I ran those 7 rds. thru the carbine 5 times. I ran them thru working the action quickly, I ran them thru working the action less vigorously, I ran them thru hesitating at the bottom of the lever stroke and at the top to start a new cycle, I also ran them through working the action slowly. The 5th run thru I had one rd. that I had to just barely jiggle the lever and it fed. All other rds. on each run through fed as slick and smooth as my 1860 Uberti Henry By that run thru the bullet noses had been beat up quite a bit. I was so pleased with it that I had a big grin! Now........as long as it feeds that well with live firing I will be one happy camper !

Yes, it is beautiful for sure. I had reservations about sending it back for repairs as to not getting the same carbine or wood back.
Thank you........Macon

What revolver do you like with your rifles? I know that times were hard. Cap and ball revolvers were plentiful and cheap. I like my Cimarron .44 American with my Sharps, Remingtons, and Trap Doors. Conversions were available. You couldn’t get a SAA until 74. Your thoughts.
