I just picked up a 1851 Adams/Deane 44 cal percussion double action only revolver. Sorry about the misnomer
It is missing the lock bar on the right side. Anyone have an idea of where I can purchase/trade for one? It's also missing the spring bar on the left side that blocks the hammer.
New pistol to me. I haven't done any work with it nor done any due diligence as to the type of bullets it shoots. I did read one article that it needs to have tight fitting balls in the cylinders to make a proper seal. I have no idea if it would handle hollow base conicals.
If anyone has actually loaded and fired one of these I would be pleased to read about your experiences.
The internals on this piece are bright and shiny.
