I bought the above from a member on this site. I will not embarrass him but he was in his time a national medal winner with it.
I met him a couple of weeks ago at Bisley for the mutually convenient - social distancing exchange.
He was kind enough to chuck in a variety of bits and bobs - enough to get me started.
I was forced to go into a CV19 controlled Fulton's and purchase some Swiss No.2 (3fg) Black Powder. Yes that's right - Swiss No.2 is size 3.
Happy to sanitise my hands on the way in - ironic really because I always feel like I need a shower after spending money in there.
Any hoo.
Took my new toy to Melville today and spent all morning dicking about for the grand total of twelve shots fired. Have not had so much fun in ages.
For what it is worth, the revolver grouped tightly at about 11 o'clock (why not shoot it earlier I hear the wags ask...).
Now apparently I have to go and source some grease (to prevent chain-fire) and semolina to act as filler.
If you have not had a go with Black Power revolvers may I urge you to give it a bash.
The only buggeration appears to be the cleaning regime. Hot water is good and there are those who recommend the dish-washer but a man would have to foolish to risk incurring the wrath of his wife by sticking a Black Powder Revolver in the dish-washer. I could go on, but I think that I can hear my wife's car pulling up and I have to get agun some plates out of the wash...
