Ok, is the barrel plugged or does it run all the way thru? Is there a pin hole on the side of the breech, open the frizzen and look in the flash pan, inside, there should be a pin hole..that goes in the side of the breech/barrel. |

the flash pan is directly connected to the barrel but there is no pinhole. I guess this means that it is non-firing. If i wanted to make it shoot, would all i have to do is drill a small hole in the side of the barrel near the flash pan?

If i wanted to make it shoot, would all i have to do is drill a small hole in the side of the barrel near the flash pan? I wouldn't do that. It is not made to shoot and the steel is probably made of light blends. I would guess if you did try to drill a hole and load it, it would "Blow up" so please don't try it... If it had the hole, writing on the barrel saying something like "BLACK POWDER ONLY" i wouldn't have a problem with firing a blank charge. |

What happened to the pictures? Oh well, I reckon you will be updating your photos, once you've been to Bejar.

If you're in the market to get a book, visit the DRT Library at the Alamo and ask for Dr. Bruce Winders, the curator. He has a new book on the Alamo for sale in the giftshop/museum and he will
probably sign a copy for you, if you are interested.

I loom at that picture of me that I posted and all I can say is ay yi yi. I've lost weight since then and all I can hope is that I look better then that lol... I read that it's harder to loose weight than to kick (get off of) heroin and i believe that, i loose and gain and loose and gain. Getting tired of it and other things  |
