I recently read a thread on a gun forum about a member of that forum that specializes in tuning and tweaking cap and ball revolvers, but I can't for the life of me remember what forum, the name of the gunsmith, website, etc. I neglected to bookmark it when I saw it, and now I can't find it.

Was that thread & member here by any chance? This was very recent, like in the last week-10 days.

Thanks!

I suspect, you can do most by yourself. Cleaning, sanding the burrs, new nipples.
There is a person here, and his thread is in Muzzleloading. Look for the cap and ball reworks. I have trouble finding it, but he did real well for me.

That's it! Not the video, but the right gunsmith info! Thanks!

And no, I can't do it myself. No skills, no patience, too many unfinished projects already, etc.

There's a more direct link on Gunslingersgulch.com
a good bunch of ruffians too.

A buddy of mine is an excellent C&B gunsmith, and makes some really beautiful traditional style muzzleloaders. I've referred to him before as the "Imelda Marcos" of cap & ballers. [smilie=1:

He posts on this forum every once in awhile, using the handle "Enyaw". You could send him a PM too.

Look for Goon's Gun Works.
