Videos tagged with Colt Navy 36

This video addresses common misfires in cap and ball revolvers, particularly the Colt Navy 36. Instructor Dustin Winegar explains that a frequent cause is a dislodged percussion cap falling into the action, preventing the hammer from striking subsequent caps effectively. He advises a thorough visual inspection after each shot to remove any stuck caps before they become flattened and harder to extract, saving the user from unnecessary disassembly and parts replacement.
