Interesting discussion on one of the firearms that i personally have a large interest in. Would be jolly fun to take a duck or goose with one of the shotgun versions, or a deer with the rifled one. The whole chain/ring fire issue is a bit of a downer, i guess just use a shooting stick and rest the front of that

But as Daryl has said - tight fitting ball and make sure the caps are tiiiight too and all should be well? Eh it'll never be an issue for me - the guns are too exy!

Off to post another Colt thread for another interest of mine that again, too expensive for me, ha!
