Title: Revolver shooting manual?
Post by: Kermit on February 19, 2011, 06:45:30 PM

One of the guys in the shop just inherited a bunch of guns from his step-father. Unfortunately, much of what was there was illegal--sawed off, full auto, filed serial numbers. Generally screwed up.

He did score a very nice and unfired stainless Remington. He shoots BP a bunch, but has ZERO experience with wheelguns. Example: he asked me what size balls and what thickness patches he should use use. Hmmmm.

So I'm wondering if anyone can point me to some guidance I can print out for him so he doesn't maim himself or his kids.

Whoa! Thanks! That was right quick. Already printed it out for him.

(I knew this was the right place to ask...)
