There is somethin special about them 51's. The 60's have sleeker lines an I'd love one, but there's just somethin bout the older design that draws my attention.
Nice collection.
The '60 is on sale at Cabela's right now. Might just add it to the collection.
Trinity,
I'll bet the Dance is one of them. I've been wanting to ask someone about the caps geting mispositioned before the barrel.. Interesting and a bit different group.
Is that Dance cylinder sans roll engraving as well? I have a pair of Leech and Rigdons (with Colt style Roll engraving) and I keep hoping I'll find some slick cylinders someday.

Yes, the round barrel is a Dance and it has a smooth cylinder. I have yet to have any problems with the caps, but then I don't get to shoot as much as some of you. It's suggested to use #11, but like so many, I found those too loose and use #10 instead.
Nice pics Trinity... just curious though, how high is "the rate of fire" on your musket? Is that measured in rounds per minute, or rounds per 10 minutes?
I was referring to the camera, definitely not the musket.
In re-reading my post, I realize that wasn't clear.
I love that L&R, RCJ!

Myself I'd have to load some of the buck and ball loads and put them on paper. One ball with 3 buckshot on top, was hard on the guys in the other line.
Or rocks... or nails... or other bits of metal.
