Walker Avenging Angel

[Honest John]

It's like a good English Bulldog, ugly as hell but lovable and I wish I had one. Well done and I hope you can provide us with a range report.

I shot it yesterday in the late afternoon/early evening. My friend filmed it on his phone so I will try to upload it onto youtube to share. It was quite an experience!

Here's the video:

OMG I LOVE IT!! Want one. Will make one!

Wow, that is awesome.....!

 

[Malachi Leviticus Blue]

I've got a Stainless ROA that has some very noticeable pitting on the last 1/2 inch of the barrel from the previous owner leaving it in a wet holster. I've been planning to cut her down to 5.5" but maybe I should go shorter. Hmmmm... what to do?

 

[BHP FAN]

is the pitting on the inside or outside of the barrel?

 

[RetiredUSNChief]

Nice pics!

The perspective on the cocked pic makes the hammer look ungodly larger than the pistol itself!

A real beauty!

 

[Panzerschwein]

Oh yeah.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! (Big Daddy Hoffman 1911 reference- YouTube)

 

[Malachi Leviticus Blue]

is the pitting on the inside or outside of the barrel?

If I recall correctly only on the outside. Why, do you have a better idea for her than shortening her up?

 

[rondog]

Awesome! I could never do that to my beautiful new Walker, but I have a slightly rough old used Pietta 1851 Navy that I bought for $100......

 

[BHP FAN]

not really Malachi, it's just that if the interior of the barrel was good, like Rondog, I'd have a hard time doing it, and if the barrel were pitted, with a damaged crown, why, that would be a little easier [for me, YMMV] to cut down...

 

[JohnnyCremains]

"Awesome! I could never do that to my beautiful new Walker, but I have a slightly rough old used Pietta 1851 Navy that I bought for $100......"

You should turn it into one of these then. I made this out of a Pietta:

 

[Old Dragoon]

Makes me yearn for my Remy Gunslingers to make a reappearance.....or maybe just do this to some Colt repro's too.
So many ideas, so little time and less money.
If I did that to a Walker I could be "Hand Cannon Harper" and I here by reserve that name. LOL!

 

[rondog]

Being somewhat C&B "challenged", I gotta ask - how do you load these sawed-off pistols with the loading levers removed?

 

[JohnnyCremains]

rondog,

I was actually a little unprepared when I went to my friends house to fire the Walker. He's got like 7 Dragoons so he had everything else needed to load and fire it. I ended up using a long brass screw and tapped the ball in with a hammer. I'm probably going to make something out of one of the old Walker loading levers I have kicking around.

 

[mic214]

I think a cylinder loading stand would be just the ticket for that:

I'd call it the Fire Walker! I would love to see some night pics of that shooting some bad a flames and smoke , that would be something.

 

[moconfed]

THAT is fantastic!!

 

[JohnnyCremains]

raa-7,

Did you miss this one?

 

[1KPerDay]

I'd call it the Fire Walker!

That's a good'n!

Loved the vid.
