Well Hawg thanx for thinkin I'm rich but I ain't. Had to shut down the store since Cabella built a city next to me--ha.
Anyway I got to thinkin bout brassers. I knew they were not safe for conversion cylinders. Also, a member on this thread came to my store a few yeas ago and we talked about them. He said the brass can become weak and the cylinder pin will start to wobble. I bought 6 from cabellas at the time and 2 did not let the the lever drop in at 6 oclock when fully cocked. An old friend told me that years ago he was handed a "confederate navy" and when he fired it--there he was on his back w/broken parts on his chest and powder burns of course. He was not seriously hurt-thank God- but he won't shoot one again. Also some of our senior members stated that back in the day they were harder -more like bronze. I'm thinking about buying one or 2 but lets talk about the integrity of these new replicas and their safety
