   Here's a pic of my Walker style flask.  The "ball magazine" was lengthened so it would hold 6 conicals and I added a "cap magazine" that holds 16 caps. The set screw for the "powder adjustment "  was made into a wing nut to make adjustments easier  and without tools.

Those are nice mods to the Walker flask Mike,  I assume you did them yourself.   What did you use for the cap magazine?

[Marshal Will]

Outstanding work on that flask, Mike.

Thanks mike116!!
  I used a brass tube that the caps just slide right down (means I don't what the dia. is !!). It's soldered to the bottom of the top but the tube (installed from the top) is flared so the caps enter easily. There is a brace that attaches to the other magazine near the bottom. The ball magazine was just cut and extended with same size tube with "next size up" sweated for the joint. It worked well back then and that was probably 30 yrs ago!!

Very nice group there Bishop.    I don't have any 2nd Gen revolvers so I haven't aquired any 2nd Gen flasks.   I'm pretty sure Fingers Mcgee has all the 2nd Gen flasks.

I've only got 5 2nd Gen Army/Navy flasks that aren't part of cased sets.  A silver plated Florentine flask is my favorite though. Ive been using it for more than 20 years for CAS matches and shooting at the bench.  Rifles get loaded from a horn.
