My black powder cap-and-ball and cartridge revolvers
u/DwighedSchrude — 6 days ago

Cheap gun but cleaned up nice. My brother hates black powder so, in peak little brother pettiness, I bought and refurbished him a black powder only shotty for his birthday. I chopped 10” off the barrel, put on a brass bead sight, had to remove and unfreeze the hammer works, unsieze the right firingh pin, manufacture a way to retain the release lever when closed (the original spring was missing), and clean and re-blue the metal. It certainly isn’t perfect but it shoots reliably.
