It's an 1836 Patterson Revolver that's been modified to use shells instead of black powder.

I don't know that I would want to make one.

You can buy one that actually shoots projectiles. I think the "cap and ball revolver" is actually called a Percussion revolver.

Cimarron firearms, Uberti, Navy arms, probably a few others, but you can search those and probably pick one up for around $500, get some custom grips for say $100 and you gotta prop and a home defense weapon!

That gun was basicaly the first revolver.

I have been on this prodject and it is a tough one. I am begining to think that the cylinder is fixrs and the percusion cap voids filled. Its an expensive prodject.

oooh my old thread, I havent really done much on this project lately but since that picture was taken I've finished the scratch build base and primered it, really need to figure out a way of making the grips

Thread resurrection here is a small update to my scratch built Supernatural Colt, after putting this on the back burner for too long I decided to tidy up the sculpt a bit, added the chamber which is a clear resin piece at the moment that seems to be about the correct size, I will stress again that this is totally scratch built using no measurements whatsoever so I'm not saying its perfect, The idea is to get this base gun to a satisfactory stage and then make a cast of it, as its only made out of styrene and foam board at the moment its fairly fragile, once a copy is made I can look into detailing it a lot better

I wish someone would at least make a resin of this gun.

Cody, your scratch is looking good to me so far, keep up with it! I love CW era guns (or guns at all really), and so far so good... I've thought of doing a Dex gun from SG-1 which has the same characteristics, aside from the folding trigger and lack of a trigger guard...

Nice work thus far and looking forward to seeing the finished item! :thumbsup
