and till using a cap-n-ball...
Messin' with cap n ball is like when the USA was free ..
You can buy them without ID and Federal Forms and government interference. You can mail them through the US Mail. You don't have go through a Dealer. The last one I bought directly from the importer. It's just about like the old days!

I know what you mean... I started back "when" with a 1860... today I still have a 1851 Short barrel (in .44 thou) still loaded and ready to go... my 1860's (Colt reissues) are in a case on the wall... I also have a couple of Remington New Armies (1858 for those that think that way)... one of which I "ehem" installed a Kirst Konverter in .45ACP to see how it would run ... "just an experiment of course"... Sorta "Pale Rider" itch... ran better than I expected... shot better than my Pietta 1873 with a .45ACP cylinder... what a surprise that was...
Yup... BP was king way back when and in lots of ways ... still is...
That's a great progression Jim!

I'm still looking for the pictures of when I was about 4 or 5, all get up with my rig and vest and hat. Hopefully, it's in my Dad's things.....we'll see!
