Can? That looks like a laser boresighter, but I like your thought. I have wondered many times what a suppressed front stuffer would actually do.Imagine how quickly the can would become fouled and ineffective... looks great though!

The maxim is an effective suppressor but then it only needs to work for a few rounds before it’s stripped and cleaned. If a nagant style revolver were fitted with a can it would work as well as any for a few rounds but I would expect effective suppression to suffer as the baffles fill with fouling. Ditto for fouling in he barrel itself.I'd imagine about the same as other revolvers, too much gas escaping around the forcing cone. The Maxim 50 however seems to work well.
And yeah, laser bore sighter
Great job mr.pocket! Are you gonna crown the barrel?
It has a 3" cylinder with no barrel. Funny lookin' critter, but kinda cool, too.
Found a video here where the guy played with the idea of loading the Yank with 3 balls per cylinder.
I've used the "carriage bolt and grinding compound" method for three different chop downs. One shotgun (wasn't really necessary) and two rifles. I'm guessing a barrel is a barrel no matter if its smokeless or black, but curious if theres a certain way/tradition used for black powder firearms concerning the crowns cut on pistols? Maybe depended on manufacturers preference.
. I will need to fill the hammer notch in with my self though as I can tell it'll be a cap sucking piece like any other colt.

You might try using Remington 10 caps and making sure they fit the cones. I’m not convinced that the pin notch is the culprit here. At least I have never filled in that notch or dressed the edges or any other kind of voodoo.I've owned a pietta 1860 snub nose for about a year now and still haven't fired it. The only thing I've done is run six caps through it. It feels very balanced and nice in the hand. I will need to fill the hammer notch in with my self though as I can tell it'll be a cap sucking piece like any other colt. I may just end up trading it for something else or maybe I'll sell it.
Yeah i always do use #10 caps from Remington. I filled the hammer notch on my 1851 and that solved the cap sucking issues. I watched tons of videos from Mike who has the duelist1954 channel. He pretty much recommends filling in that hammer notch any just about any colt revolver. Well see how it does when i finally shoot it.You might try using Remington 10 caps and making sure they fit the cones. I’m not convinced that the pin notch is the culprit here.

I’m a fan of that approach. Every gun is a law unto itself. It may need every trick in the book to run reliably or it may not need a thing... I have more time to waste than money so that approach works fine for me.Yeah i always do use #10 caps from Remington. I filled the hammer notch on my 1851 and that solved the cap sucking issues.
