Slow Motion Video of Rogers & Spencer

[DaveM]

I took my Euroarms Rogers & Spencer out to the range last night and had my dad take some slow mo video with my iPhone. Here's one shot.

The load was a Remington No.10 cap, 30 grains of 3Fg Olde Eynsford black powder, a lubricated felt wad, and a .454" Hornady ball.

is that gun still available? also it would be a good choice for a conversion cylinder.

Sadly, after Pedersoli bought Euroarms the Rogers & Spencer replicas were discontinued.

I have a Pietta 1858 Remington that I installed a gated Kirst Konversion in .45 Colt on.

how do you like that? and how does it shoot?

[DaveM]

I like the Konversion a lot. It shoots well with Black Hills .45 Colt or .45 Schofield loads. I did a video on it as well:
