Gun smithing
« on: July 08, 2020, 03:45:12 AM »
I have been away for awhile as a result of health and other issues. I could have sworn that there was a post a few years ago about a fella who did trigger and other work on BP revolvers but I can't find it again and I am two computers (and bookmarks) past it now. As I recall, you could send you revolver and get the trigger work done, cap jams addressed and on the Walker, fix the wedge issue and the loading lever drop issue. Does anybody else remember this? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't really know where that link or information would be found, but I am really glad that things are better and you have rejoined us!

Here is a place that works on BP revolvers.

Here is a 2 part tutorial on how to do it yourself.
