Re: Convert from .22LR to WMR ?

Thanks for all the replies. I didn't think there would be so many problems like the magazine tube etc. I wouldn't worry too much about bore size but the idea probably will have stay on the drawing board as the gun would still have to pass British Proof if I get all the work done, more expense and no...

Re: Thinking about a small cap and ball revolver...

I once had a Pietta .36 Police and a Uberti .31 1849 Pocket Colt. The .36 was just as good as my 51 Navy but the .31 balls would bounce back off hardwood targets unless loaded to the maximum with 777.

Re: Flintlock nomenclature question

A lot of muzzle loaders "made in India" are sold in the UK (by Henry Krank) and as far as I know they have to pass British Proof Testing.
I've not heard of any problems with them but then a lot of them are used in reenactments and only fire blanks.
