Guys, I've never shot BP in a cartridge revolver, and would like to know how often it's necessary to completely disassemble the gun to clean up the interior parts? I shoot a couple of percussion revolvers, and disassemble them every day I shoot them. Not a big job, but needed in those guns. Thanks.

Regards

Probably wouldn't need to disassemble the gun and get into the innards for cleaning but about once or twice a year, if you shot bp everyday.
Cartridge should hold most of the crud , just like with a single shot rifle.

I do-no Don, I only take'm apart to fix'em .......

What I did with those pins, was to just lightly 'mash' one end so it takes a drift punch to set it flush with the frame.

It also helps if you dont use 175 psi. air

YUP, mine is set to 85psi via the reg.

A very good load for me has be 16 grains of 2400. It is dirty as a low pressure load by it shoots very good in every 45 Colt I've tried which means 'bout 5 of them.
