Ive never really got into antiques yet, how do you load that? It is black powder, I assume.

yes it is black power, take 32gr of black powder take a wad of cloth then take the correct cal. ball turn to bottom and use the ram rod to pack it, and you do that for all 6 chambers, then you have to place a percussion cap on the 6 nipples then you are ready to shoot.

you pour the powder into a piece of cloth, and then wrap it up?

damn, I kinda want one now.

I have a CVA reproduction one that is a .44. fun to shoot,but a pain in the arse to load.

no you pour in the powder,then the wad,then the ball, then you use the ramrod to pack them in. The ramrod is built in and just pivotson a screw.

Looks good man, I wouldn't mind having one but loading it would be a pain in the ass!!

[Faught]

its not that bad

[bluehawk2000]

I have never actually used a black powder weapon system before so I wouldn't know the first thing about them!!

[Faught]

its easy to learn in fact i would introduce people with a black powder b4 a modern fire arm b/c of the simplicity.

You load it the same way you load a muzzle loader pretty much. Not that difficult.

Nice gun Sir.
