Old Dragoon & w_houle...thanks for the replies. No, I have not shot this yet, but wanted to dissasemble just to see how the cylinder comes off. Dragoon, I am tied up on Sundays, but know of that ranger and plan to renew my membership there. I mainly shoot military-surplus rifles...but have a few cowboy guns. I have a 1872 Open-top, 1892 Winchester, 1847 Walker, 1851 Pietta, and an 1873 Cattleman.
