Post by: NewRiver on May 25, 2014
Does the drum simply screw on and off these barrels?

Can someone help out here?  I don't know the answer ... e posted in percusion of the issue he is haveing and I suggested he post here to get an answer.  If I recall corectly ( I amon a laptop and can't work my usual magic) his caps fire but he has intermitant ignition with all trypes of powder.  I think there is a blockage between cap and chamber. 
Any help would be appreciated i am sure...

Don't know that gun, does it have a clean-out screw in drum ?  Pull it out and shine a lite down muzzle--look for powder build ups or some obstruction or other.  I lost a patch in a rifle once--forgot about it--til I went to a shoot--talk about a hang-fire !!!    ...Tom
