I realize that I’m a little late to comment on the video, but I’d suggest using a .018-.020” patch with 70 grains of 3F powder. Both my wife’s and daughter’s muzzleloaders are fast twist barrels and shoot patched roundball quite accurately. Those .010 patches are just too thin, they’ll load great but won’t deliver as good of accuracy.

What do you use for a holster?

Dude, you are supposed to wear it more towards your side, NOT your front. Why the need for an extended magazine release?

I would be afraid of using that stainless pre press. Stainless will spark go BOOOOM !

how much did you have to take off? 0.5 mm? .2 mm? from the cylinder because you opened up the cylinder/ chamber diameter right? Thanks in advance.

Model 10 all day long

People classify the grains and then pack the hell out of it in the barrel with he bullet and ram rod pounding. This just breaks up all the grains into a powder anyway.

Thank you

This is where my charcoal from TP & Cardboard is easier. I can just break it up by hand into smaller pieces and then I ball mill all of it for about 20 minutes and then its small granules ready for storage.

Thats what my Uberti 1851 navy did when I replaced all inner parts with new parts last month. I changed all parts because I had all new parts, but mostly because the spring on the hand/paw broke. Then when I put caps on and tried to push them down on nipples with hammer, I tried to rotate cylinder and it locked up, had to take gun apart. I couldn't figure out the problem so I put all original parts back in with just the new hand/paw, it worked better but still locked couple times so I filed the hand/paw tip down slightly and now it works good. I looked at all the new parts but darned if I could see any significant differences. So my conclusion is, revolver internals must only work in 1,000" of inch differences..........

Just FYI, if you ever need a custom reamer or guides, Manson will make them for you. I wanted to open up my Colt 1878 in 44-40 to 0.428 chamber mouths. According to the owner of Buffalo Bore, Colt purposely cut all the chamber mouths small in black powder cartridge revolvers to delay bullet exit to get a more complete burn and higher pressure. Not good if you use smokeless. Smallest chamber mouth guide was 0.425 and I needed it. Amazing accuracy out of this gun with slow soft bullets.

Is this mod safe for the motor?

I own the K6S DASA 38 which is a piece of jewelry but a bit of a brick as you said but I prefer the 6 round capacity. For Carry I chose the LCRX in 327 fed. Lighter, smaller and a more powerful round. I've been interested in the 32 H&R mag Charter but that gives up a ton of power and is still heavier than the LCRX, much less recoil.

I have a CA in 44 special and I put rubber grips with laser sights. In the 70's Mag-na-port took , I believe 224 guns and gave them a trigger job along with machine porting the barrel. It os a handful but a joy to carry and conceal. When you pull the trigger the sound along would make you want to give up or just plain run away.

I have sodium nitrate and it is so bad

S&w makes lots of lighter j frame in 12 to 15 oz range

Love me a little snub wheel gun

Man, I know that this video is long time a go...but I am frustrated to find out if there is rubber seal or O-ring in the grove aroung the filter, exactly on air box housing enterance, where the lid is going on to cover the hole??

This video provides a good idea of what must be done to do the job. Thanks. Producing and editing a video is time-consuming and a PITA in itself. For the viewers; It's a good idea, to watch three or four different videos about the same task, or parts of the same task. Usually one can pick up a tip or two from each video, lending more information and a better idea of what's going on. IMO

American Gun Crafters Diablo double-barrel shotgun pistol in a shoulder holster loaded with 2oz of #4 buck in both barrels would be one heck of a rig for prohibited possessors 💪🤠👍

Sir, that is some beautiful milling! I have seen some messes.

Its aluminum, its going to dent .

Hey can you do a video on disassembly/ reassembling the perfected model? Also curious the size of the main spring. Thanks for the video, unusual gun.

The amount of things you left out in this video is crazy.

4:14, I had the same problem with the cap bolts on the side. Couldn't get them out, but I chose to place a cut on the plastic piece, slide the plastic out and used vice grips and 7/16 to remove the bolts. I replaced them with another hex bolt and washer with anti-seize on the threads.

Birchwood Casey Super Blue just a dab on a q-tip will touch up that scratch real fast. After it sets for 5 mins oil the slide and your back like new.

do you have a wiring diagram, like this color cable should go this way or that. I'm very confused because I don't know where the cable color should go, please help me

Pretty nice video Steve! And could you load your homemade golden powder into a cartridge and shoot it?I'm extremely interested in that stuff😂

you need to slowly bring it up to 660fps.my 4in barrel webly scoot 158 gr swc around 725 fps.I'm going to order some 190 or 200gr to load the military and police load 200gr rn around 670fps. I forgot to saw mine ic chamber in 38 sw.and forgot your loading black powder so maybe I would just top out 600fps checking primers for flattening signs because I'm using smokeless powder and your pistol originally might have been black powder. be safe and have fun.😊papa

Wow a grown man can't carry a 32 ounce snubby all day ?

Lube under the ball needs something like a card stock or felt disk over the powder. If shot immediately using lube under the ball without a disk to protect the powder works but quite a few fps are lost due to the powder that is smeared not burning properly. If the lube warms up it soaks into the powder and a huge amount of power is lost, and a squib is possible. Lube over the ball works great but you don't need much as the excess gets blown out after the first shot anyway. I use a syringe with the lube thinned a bit with olive oil (olive oil works great and doesn't go bad like other vegetable oils will given enough time. I just squirt out enough lube to cover the edge of the ball where it touches the cylinder wall - I've done it that way for the past 15 years or so and it works well, the best part is that there is still enough lube to protect from rust - I have tested it by going several months without cleaning my 1851 - no pitting, no rust - the secret is to keep some lube or rem oil over everything, inside and out. Keeping these cap and ball revolvers rust free liberal use of lube and oil is more important than regular cleaning. Remember that the Old West was pretty dry, and in some areas of the open range water was in very short supply, and the cowboys did fine. The good part of running lube under the ball is that some of the lube vaporizes and keeps the cylinder quite clean. But you do lose a lot of power if there is nothing physically separating the lube from the powder. I'd tell you just how much power is lost per my chronometer, but the truth is it varies from almost no loss to total squib. It will shoot ok if shot immediately and the cylinder is cold. Prelubed felt disks work fine, but if you make these yourself you need to melt thick lube into the felt as the pressure of the ball can squeeze lube from the felt disk onto the powder and cause problems. The commercial felt pads don't do this but they cost too much. To make them yourself use a 5/16" punch for .44 cal felt disks, I don't remember the size for .36 or .32 cal. It is easiest to lube the felt before the disks are punched. Edited to fix a sentence - I had said lube under powder when i meant lube under the ball.

I shoot this same bullet with a 30:1 lead tin ratio sized .459 in my 45-70 and 65 grains of Swiss 2F rolling block I built back in 1995. Excellent accuracy. I sized them to .452 and used a Harvester HP Sabot in my TC 209-50 magnum muzzleloader over 84 grains by weight of 2F Triple 7. All bullets weighed without lube and one hole at 50 yards and 1.3” average at 100 yards. Velocities ran 1635 on a five shot string. These are a historically “close” replica of the Trapdoor carbine loads of 55 grains of some type of black powder. Great video and I agree… you know exactly when the firing pin or hammer hits the primer or cap. They hit hard on both ends.

I love to see people putting guns of past generations to use. I know you said you will not use smokeless but if you ever feel inclined Trailboss will not hurt that antique. If you don't think you will be able to clean it after shooting.

Smoke Rings That Was Pretty Cool 😀💨💨💨

Turn up the volume.

Good video

45 acp? Heard the 9mm Aviater is ramped?

Nice looking little gun. I have a later model that can handle smokeless powder but I still prefer to shoot black powder in it. Thanks for sharing your results.

Kimber has a winner❤

The screening method and commercial powder have the same weight, Are their speeds the same

How many rounds did you have through the 642 before it broke and the barrel was shot out?

12:50 Maybe I’m missing something, but they look exactly the same size. The K6s just looks like you’re holding it a quarter inch further forward.

Good idea I hope you’re loading up the rounds for that thing. Keep them a little cool.

I think the comparrison of performance is no different. Put the same grain (measured weight) into each load and you will get the same power. Pucked is just denser because it's squished = less volume. If one was manufacturing it for transporing, pucked is safer and can ship more per volume saving shipping cost maybe i dunno. From what i understand, puck it too much you get fouling. Looser is better.

Do know if crimson would work in a flintlock?👍👍👍👍👍👍

Build you a screw jack to place under the arbor and on the frame. A couple pieces of bar stock and a couple bolts that are 1.) threaded in one bar and 2.) in pilot holes/drilled divots on the other bar or could be captured by peening the ends but seems unnecessary. Glue leather on bottom of bar resting on frame and a filed round bottomed slot placed on the bottom of the arbor. As you tighten the two bolts EVENLY it will lift the arbor. Be careful as the forces can become too great quickly. Take exacting measurements.

How do ypu like the cva?

Thanks for making this video but you started out with a major error in this guns timeline. It was only made one year, but not in 1990. It premiered at the 1999 Shot Show, was availble for the public in March 2000 and then dropped by that Dec/Jan. Now that is a limited production run time, but not by design, but based on poor sales. Built on an "L" frame it is in no way ever going to be accurately describable as a "pocket pistol" - its' huge! Maybe a Large Coat Pocket pistol. i just picked one up, LNIB for a song! Been looking for one of these for a long, long time.

bought 1 and after 1 shot i have the same probllems, send it back or keep? shitty manufacturimg

Hi can you help me with that . How do I make fast-burning charcoal?
