Just installed the Kirst Konverter cartridge cylinder for my Ruger Old Army. The manual says only ever load 5 chambers during the install and the hammer resting on the empty chamber when carrying. Are they being overly cautious? Or is that a realy safety concern? If it is I'll gladly follow it.1yr ⋅ hobovirginity ⋅ r/blackpowder

Walnut grips look better. Also switched out for slix-shot nipples, and a better spring set. 200 rounds and no misfires or cap-jams. Locks up perfect, timing perfect, action smooth as glass!
