Oh, I do enjoy shooting a cap and ball revolver!  Cleaning them is another story altogether, but I accept it as the price I pay. 

With a little practice, they are an excellent choice for close range bushy country rabbit harvesters, too.

I like them, too. I have a couple I'll get up some pictures tomorrow of mine.

They are a blast to shoot (no pun intended)

My favorite is my 36 caliber Walker but the timing is a little off now for some reason. I will try to dig it out later and take some pics it is a monster

Here are parts of my 36 caliber Walker - for the most part it is a regular Uberti Walker with 9" barrel but we sleeved the barrel and cylinder down to use a .375" ball. Holds about twice as much powder as a regular 36 caliber 1851 Navy. Some comes out the end un burned and some is still burning as it comes out but it is fun to shoot.

I only photo'd the parts we modified

Sweet piece's. I need to get me a pistol.

Isn't that an in-line? :)

Technically it is an in line but the Walker dates to the 1840's so it usually isn't defined as modern

Very nice.  I could modify the intro to just say In-Line rifles  :)

Really nice stuff there
thanks for sharing it
yes Pearly they are inlines and there are many more inlines that date back a couple of hundred years before these cap and ball guns
Pin locks,flintlock rifles and pistols and even match locks so I hope to see the rules streched to the max
(without breaking the spirit of the law)
there are some beautiful guns out there that I would sure enjoy seeing posted to that end
