The key ingredient is moose sweat, mixed with some proprietary
ingredients, brewed and aged to a deep golden hue and bottled at
16% vol alcohol.

If any of you got a chance to play with real black powder (not
the newer ff, fff and 4f rated substitutes) you would also see a
very literal fog of war. Real black powder throws out a TON of
thick, nasty, smoke. Do in the times of line infantry tactics,
with hundreds of muskets going off 2-3 times a minute, smoke
billowing from the pan and the nuzzles if there was no wind to
move it along you would quite quickly have walls of smoke. Of
course it is also way dirtier than the new stuff; in my Italinan
1858 New Army Remington repro I could fire 2 or 3 cylinders
before the pistol was so gummed up you couldn't clock the hammer
and pull the trigger. The new stuff is a lot safer and I dodn't
grease the end of the cylinder to cover the charges, just rand
wonder was between ball and powder. Shot 6+ cylinders with very
acceptable fouling.

Speak of the Devil...Just found my Colt .36 Navy (actual Colt
made from original molds - produced in Brooklyn in the
90’s) It’s been missing for at least three years.
Started cleaning the attic so the air conditioner repairman
could move around up there... and there she be! :hubba:

Nice Jake! Would love to see some pics of that beauty! And
Buaya, the Wonder Wads over modern powder seem pretty safe, but
slobbin bore butter all of the cylinder would still be a real
good idea... it was probably dumb of me to mention my lax
practice. Safety first with any firearm, especially 150 year old
designs. Gonna be real bad if I ever get the brown Bess repro I
want cuzz I HAVE to try the tap loading from the Sharpes books.

heh heh- yup. Wife was pissed because she bought it for me on
our first wedding anniversary (back when she Really loved me)
They actually manufactured it about ten blocks away from my
house in Crooklyn
I kept telling her it ain't lost...it's around...

So, this one is based on the 1851 model, correct? Which would
make it the 6 shot, and not the 12, I'm thinking.
