Shot of the Day

Thanks for that burn data chart, Richard! Would you consider doing a copy/paste in the Powder section so I can sticky that post? That's the kind of info we all go scrambling for years later and can't find it.
I like your powder storage solution. Beats the crap of of being blown sky-high in the event of a catastrophic accident. Thanks for sharing!
Retreever, a very nice brace of Remmies!

For black powder storage, I used to use a large ammo can lined with wood and the lid not latched. I still use that, but lately have acquired a small non-working refrigerator. It is my understanding that you don't want to lock down the storage lids; in case of an explosion the force does not want to be confined.

I've read that too, Em. Sort of like the crumple zones on a car. Give it room to expand and burn rather than explode.

Now it is.

Those are some really nice brass framed guns Richard. Did you do the conversions? Seems like a perfect use of the weaker brass framed guns.

[Bob Dwyer]

How did you convert them to .22? Is that something you designed or some kit you buy? (forgive my ignorance, Richard!)

[ssb73q]

Hi Bob, I made the full length barrels for those conversions. All the conversion cylinders and full length barrels have been sold. They were great tack drivers used in my basement during the winter, there is nothing slicker than a brass framed revolver.

You don't realize just how small those pocket models are, until you see them next to a full sized pistol.

Great picture Richard.

Richard, nice looking families!

[Fingers McGee]

A couple new safe queens to add to the inventory

[ssb73q]

Hi Fingers, those are sure gorgeous revolvers. Would it be proper to oil or wax the balls to keep them from oxidizing?

Regards,
Richard
