    Pffft, the Colt Model 1851 Navy was not .44, it was .36. And it was never made with a brass receiver, always case hardened steel or silver. The Confederates did not have their own version.

    Here are some suggestions:

    Pack that ball in on top of the powder pretty good. You can put a small dab of vaseline over it to seal the chamber better and prevent chain firing (this is bad). Make sure the caps are the right size, not too big or again you'll get a chain fire. Don't rest the barrel on your wrist while firing like in the movies and the old paintings, if you do experience a chain fire... bye bye mr. hand!

        Get an M1855 Colt revolving rifle. Those were notorious for blowing off hands.


        In NY you need a pistol license to shoot a black powder pistol. Those are fun to get, it's a $300 initial fee, somthing like $15 for each gun you purchase, then about $100 a year after that. You can own one without a license but you can't own the materials necessary to load it.

          I guess your lawmakers deiced you have the right to bear arms... just not loaded.


          I love AZ. I can carry a pistol on my hip, or a rifle slung around my shoulder and go anywhere I want (not to say that I do) only having to fill out one form, two if i want to conceal it, when I buy the gun.

          I get a kick out of all the adults that come in our shop and start telling their kids about "rules" That are stupid as can be, that are either borne out of fear and ignorance or apparently other states, and its only airsoft!

          The thing is... the bad guys are going to get guns (and ammunition ) no matter what. Let the law abiding folks get guns legally, and they are not too inclined to use them for mal reasons because everyone of my guns has a serial number with my name attached to it, and Im cool with that. The only reason I would use it against someone is if someone is unlawfully threatening my life, in which case Arizona tells me I have the right to end that threat.

                In NY you're supposed to politly ask them not to kill you. Even then you run the risk of being sued.

                              Ok, I would deport stupid. Then someone else could deal with it.
