The one that is really hard to fine is a "long". |

But if that's all your gun will take its worth havens. I bought 200 rds of short for $19.00 4 years ago and was glad I could get them |

Maybe the original pin was lost or damaged and somebody used their resources to make isomething "work" It is possible I guess. I did not even know it came out for the first 10-15 years I had it. It was stuck in there pretty good. I always picked the empties out with my fingernail. The reality was, I did not shoot it much anyway. That is the gun the DC cops had over a weekend tho and they gave it back to me on Monday. (I had it in my car) It was certainly a different time. The only way I ever shot it was SA because the cylinder lock up sucked in DA. It shaved big chunks off the bullet. For the last 35 years it is just a curiosity. |

Ballistics comparable to a 45/70 govt. Shells are super rare and not worth the $20.00 ea. asking price. People say "why don't you shoot it?" My reply is "why don't I hang it over my fire place and say Davy Crockett used it at the Alamo?" "I've got too much good stuff to not mess with it..." Pretty well ends the conversation. |

I've thought about getting one for my fireplace also. I'd really like to have one in the RV, which has a 'southwestern' motif. But, there's no good place to hang the damn thing. |
