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.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

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? :)

Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

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
