Just want to add that it if one does exists, you might run into accuracy issues or leading if you use lead bullets. Most .45 Colt ammo uses a .451 or .452 bullet but the .45-70 uses a .458.

It has been a while since I have watched the movie, I only remembered the quote not the gun, which is why I said they might have used a walker but called it a Dragoon. Thanks for the screen shots showing it.

Just to point out, one line in the John Wayne version calls the pistol a "Colts Dragoon". I don't know if they used a walker and called it a dragoon or not, but I do remember JW calling it a Dragoon. The quote from the movie goes: "Why, by God, girl, that's a Colt's Dragoon! You're no...

Hey Crow, sorry for the late reply. Yes the fight scene was extremely good. Black Spot you are right, he did a very good job at pulling those pistols.

Hey Black Spot, I watched the movie and they appeared to be 1851 Navies that were converted to cartridge.

Depends on how good a shot you are! :)

I need to get me a Walker some day.... Sounds pretty cool

You are probably right steelbird, but I live in the middle of no and where, and I wasn't going to go anywhere for something to get the pin out. I tapped it alternatively on each side and it slowly worked its way out.

Here are mine. I use a simple mix of 50% Crisco and 50% Beeswax. Also here are a few tests I did with them: 100 shots with lube pills 100 shots with lube pills, chapter 2

Going from my experience, there is no way I can get 50 shots off with my 1858 Pietta replica. Max I have gotten with absolutely no lube is about 36 shots and by that time it is binding up badly. Ended up having to beat the cylinder pin off because it was so bad. I do use the lube pills myself...

They are allowed to pass laws that are more restrictive than the fed, but have to enforce fed law if their own laws are more lenient. That being said, I don't believe that state or fed should pass laws restricting anything in the Constitution.

Man JCT, I wish you didn't post that, I want to do it now! :)

I do it this way, but I still put paper and all in the chamber.

Wow, the way you all are arguing, I think that you all own stock in these companies!
